Flower trade-offs derived from nectar investment in female reproduction of two nicotiana species (Solanaceae)
(Sociedade Botanica do Brasil, 2018-07)
Animal-pollinated flowers may orient resources for competing activities, such as nectar production for attracting flower visitors but then saving nectar (through inhibiting nectar production or by final resorption) for the ...
Nectar ecology of Datura ferox (Solanaceae): an invasive weed with nocturnal flowers in agro-ecosystems from Central Argentina
(Springer Wien, 2013-04)
Plant-pollinator interactions provide highly important ecological functions, and are influenced by floral nectar characteristics. The night blooming Datura ferox is an excellent model to test general hypotheses on the ...
Nectar secretion pattern and removal effects in Lycium (Solanaceae)
(Missouri Botanical Garden, 2005)
Nectar secretion pattern and effects of nectar removal were comparedin five Argentine species of Lycium (Solanaceae) from several phytogeographical regions with different floral morphologies and floral visitors. The studied ...
Patterns of floral nectar standing crops allow plants to manipulate their pollinators
(Nature Research, 2020)
Nectar features in Esterhazya macrodonta, a hummingbird-pollinated Scrophulariaceae in southeastern Brazil
(Botanical Soc JapanTokyoJapão, 2001)
Floral nectar production and nectary structure of a bee-pollinated shrub from Neotropical savanna
(German Botanical Society and The Royal Botanical Society of the Netherlands, 2015)
Biotic pollination is critical for tropical ecosystem functioning, and nectar plays an essential role as it represents the main trophic resource for pollinators. Nevertheless, little is known about the mechanisms that ...
Effect of Nectar Composition on Bee Attraction for Onion Seed Production
(Nova Science Publishers, 2015-02)
Onion is the second most cultivated vegetable crop in the world. Two types of onion varieties are usually grown around the world; open pollinated (OP) and first generation (F1) hybrids. Honey bees are the main pollinators ...
Nectar production dynamics and sugar composition in two Mucuna species (Leguminosae, Faboideae) with different specialized pollinators
(Springer, 2011-06)
Nectar is secreted in particular rhythms throughout the lifespan of a flower, which allows determining the nectar production dynamics. This paper compares nectar features in Mucuna japira and Mucuna urens describing: ...
Flower mites decrease nectar availability in the rain-forest bromeliad Neoregelia johannis
(2010-07-01)
Nectarivorous flower mites can reduce the volume of nectar available to pollinators. The effects of the flower mite Proctolaelaps sp. on nectar availability in flowers of a melittophilous bromeliad Neoregelia johannis ...
