Assessing risks and benefits of floral supplements in conservation biological control [PDF]
, 2010 The use of flowering field margins is often proposed as a method to support biological control in agro-ecosystems. In addition to beneficial insects, many herbivores depend on floral food as well.

Extrafloral-nectar-based partner manipulation in plant–ant relationships [PDF]
AoB PLANTS, 2015 Plant-ant interactions are generally considered as mutualisms, with both parties gaining benefits from the association. It has recently emerged that some of these mutualistic associations have, however, evolved towards other forms of relationships and, in particular, that plants may manipulate their partner ants to make reciprocation more beneficial ...

The Sensory and Cognitive Ecology of Nectar Robbing
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Animals foraging from flowers must assess their environment and make critical decisions about which patches, plants, and flowers to exploit to obtain limiting resources. The cognitive ecology of plant-pollinator interactions explores not only the complex

Historical contingency in species interactions: towards niche-based predictions. [PDF]
, 2013 The way species affect one another in ecological communities often depends on the order of species arrival. The magnitude of such historical contingency, known as priority effects, varies across species and environments, but this variation has proven ...

Ecophysiological aspects of nectar reabsorption
Acta Agrobotanica, 2012 A number of approaches, both direct and indirect, have shown that nectar is reabsorbed by numerous plant species, irrespective of the age or sex of the flower.
