Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Floral nectar is commonly inhabited by microorganisms, mostly yeasts and bacteria, which can have a strong impact on nectar chemistry and scent. Yet, little is known about the effects of nectar microbes on the behavior and survival of insects belonging ...

The study of Pollen and Nectar Bearing Plants in Ardebil
Environment Conservation Journal, 2015 In order to determine the habitat need of number of pollen and nectar bearing plants in the province of Ardabil, library studies were done such as the study of resources available, including followers and articles, the results of research in the field of native aromatic herbs aromatic, as well as consultation with teachers and scholars and distribution

I've been robbed! - Can changes in floral traits discourage bee pollination?
PLoS ONE, 2019 Some floral visitors collect nectar by piercing flower external whorls, acting as nectar robbers. They leave robbery vestiges, which can cause changes in floral characteristics, including physical and chemical signals that may influence flower ...

PLoS ONEAnimals should maximize their energy uptake while reducing the costs for foraging. For flower-visitors these costs and benefits are rather straight forward as the energy uptake equals the caloric content of the consumed nectar while the costs equal the ...

Mutualism and Antagonism in a Post‐Extinction Hawaiian Bird–Lobelioid Pollination System
Ecology and EvolutionExtinction of specialized pollinators can alter the balance between mutualism and antagonism in plant–animal interactions, yet the mechanistic consequences of partner loss remain poorly resolved. We examined plant–bird interactions among three endangered

Diversity in a drop: plant-pollinator interaction, flower and nectar traits shaping nectar mycobiome
Abstract Beyond its essential role in plant–pollinator interactions, floral nectar serves as habitats for diverse fungal communities that can influence plant–animal mutualism. Although it has long been known that fungi can reach high densities in floral nectar, the factors structuring mycobial diversity remain poorly understood. In this
