Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Nectar robbers and thieves are common antagonists in plant–pollinator communities, where they deplete nectar without pollinating flowers, substantially affecting plant reproduction. Nevertheless, little is known about the relative abundance of such nectar exploiters in communities, even though spatiotemporal changes in the frequencies of ...

New Phytologist, Volume 236, Issue 4, Page 1572-1583, November 2022., 2022 Summary The evolution of hummingbird pollination is common across angiosperms throughout the Americas, presenting an opportunity to examine convergence in both traits and environments to better understand how complex phenotypes arise. Here we examine independent shifts from bee to hummingbird pollination in the Neotropical spiral gingers (Costus) and ...

Nectary structure in Symphyglossum sanguineum (Rchb.f. ) Schltr. (Orchidaceae)
Acta Agrobotanica, 2012 Ornithophily occurs in a great number of orchid species but despite this, researchers have largely neglected to investigate their nectaries. The aim of this study is to describe the nectary structure of Symphyglossum sanguineum, a species presumed to be ...

Status of the southern African Anapalina and Antholyza (Iridaceae) genera, based solely on characters for bird pollination, and a new species of Tritoniopsis [PDF]
, 1990 Anapalina N.E. Br. (1932), erected for several species of long-tubed, red-flowered species previously assigned to Antholyza L., is closely allied to Tritoniopsis L. Bol. (Lewis 1959a; Goldblatt 1971).

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2015 We studied the pollination biology of Canna paniculata (Cannaceae), a plant species common in the Atlantic Rainforest of southeastern Brazil. The species presents specialized ornithophilous flowers, which in our study area are solely pollinated by the ...
