Floral nectar of insect-pollinated plants often contains dense yeast populations, yet little
quantitative information exists on patterns and magnitude of species richness of nectar …

Recent studies have shown that dense yeast populations often occurring in floral nectar are
numerically dominated by a few species from the flower–insect interface specialized genus …

Yeasts are ubiquitous in terrestrial and aquatic microbiota, yet their ecological functionality
remains relatively unexplored in comparison with other micro-organisms. This paper …
