Influence of floral orientation on feeding behavior in Anna's hummingbirds
Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 3, May 2025.Hover‐feeding by hummingbirds from pendent flowers relative to horizontal flowers increases the metabolic cost of flight, but in nature a large proportion of hummingbird‐pollinated flowers are nonetheless oriented near‐vertically downward. We used binary‐choice tests to assess behavioral preference of captive Anna's hummingbirds for these two ...

Geographic and Biological Drivers Shape Anthropogenic Extinctions in the Macaronesian Vascular Flora
Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 2, February 2025.The anthropogenic extinction patterns and processes of the vascular flora in the model island region of Macaronesia have been investigated in the present study. We compiled all known extinction records, both at global and local scales, across the five archipelagos comprising the region (Azores, Madeira, Salvajes, Canary Islands, and Cabo Verde).

Integrative Conservation, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 330-341, December 2024.Despite the availability of data on plants and their pollinators from the Indian sub‐continent, detailed investigations that explain the intricacy of the mutualistic interaction at both population and community levels have largely been limited. This review explores the current status of pollination ecology research in India and suggests future ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 566-572, December 2024.Female simuliid species traits of voltinism and feeding produce 5 two‐trait states: non‐feeding/univoltine, ornithophilic/univoltine, mammalophilic/univoltine, ornithophilic/multivoltine, mammalophilic/multivoltine. We examined latitudinal variation in each two‐trait state using three large databases.

Ornithophily in the genus Salvia L. (Lamiaceae)
, 2007 This dissertation presents for the first time a survey of bird pollinated (ornithophilous) Salvia species. Within the approximately 1000 species of the worldwide distributed genus roughly 20% (186 spp.) are bird pollinated. Excepting four species in the Old World (South Africa and Madagascar), ornithophilous species are restricted to the New World ...
