Many tropical plants are pollinated by birds and several bird phylogenetical lineages have
specialised to a nectar diet. The long‐assumed, intimate ecological and evolutionary …

The drivers behind plant‐pollinator interactions still need to be fully understood. Previous
research has suggested that observed interactions result from either neutral interaction …

Insular floras, characterized by simple pollination networks, sometimes include novel
mutualistic agents such as nonspecialist nectarivores. In this study we confirmed the …

Community-level studies have shown that plant–pollinator interactions are much more
generalized than previously expected. Consequently, many authors have questioned the …

Birds provide ecosystem services by facilitating plant reproduction as both pollinators and
seed dispersers, but to date bird pollination has been considered relatively less important …

Bird pollination in the Neotropical region is by far known as an important interaction to
ecosystem function, but perching birds visiting flowers are still very often observed as merely …

Evolutionary shifts to bird pollination (ornithophily) have occurred independently in many
lineages of flowering plants. This shift affects many floral features, particularly those …

Thousands of plant species worldwide are dependent on birds for pollination. While the
ecology and evolution of interactions between specialist nectarivorous birds and the plants …

Plant–bird pollination interactions evolved independently on different continents. Specific
adaptations can lead to their restriction when potential partners from distant evolutionary …

The bird pollination syndrome is characterized by red, unscented flowers with dilute nectar
in long nectar tubes. However, the extent to which plants with such traits actually depend on …
