A review of the genus Anisodiscus Gaud & Mouchet (Acari, Proctophyllodidae) from Madagascar sunbirds (Passeriformes: Nectariniidae), with observations on male genital morphology
(2013-09-19)
In the present article, we review the feather mites of the genus Anisodiscus Gaud & Mouchet, 1957 associated with sunbirds of Madagascar (Passeriformes: Nectariniidae). Anisodiscus goodmani sp. nov. is described from ...

Gastrointestinal and renal responses to water intake in the green-backed firecrown (Sephanoides sephanoides), a South American hummingbird
(AMER PHYSIOLOGICAL SOC, 2006-09)
To maintain water balance, nectar-feeding vertebrates oscillate between meeting the challenges of avoiding overhydration and preventing dehydration. To understand how green-backed firecrowns (Sephanoides sephanoides) ...
Reproductive ecology of the bird-pollinated Nicotiana glauca across native and introduced ranges with contrasting pollination environments
(Springer, 2019-10)
Introduced plants become decoupled from their usual pollinators and by relying on resident pollinator species or other reproductive strategies become established in new areas, spread and, eventually, invade. Here, using ...
Is variation in flower shape and length among native and non-native populations of Nicotiana glauca a product of pollinator-mediated selection?
(Springer, 2020-09)
Due to drastic changes in pollinators between native and invaded habitats, we might expect that pollinator-mediated selection on floral traits of alien plants differ from that in their native ranges. Here, through geometric ...
Different points of view in a changing world: The tobacco tree flowers through the eyes of its pollinators in native and non-native ranges
(University of Northampton, 2020)
Different pollinators show distinct visual and cognitive abilities that can influence floral colour evolution. Nicotiana glauca is a South American hummingbird-pollinated plant that has become a significant invasive of ...
