Bird pollination syndrome is the plant's adaptation to ornithophily, but nectarivorous birds are not so selective
K Chmel, FL Ewome, GU Gómez, Y Klomberg… - Oikos, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
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 …
