As well as sugars to entice pollinators, nectar contains many other chemicals including
amino acids and plant secondary compounds such as phenolics, alkaloids, and glycosides …

The protection of biological diversity in nature and in agriculture, including the production of
ornamental crops, has become increasingly important in Poland as well as worldwide. The …

Floral color plays a key role as visual signaling and is therefore of great importance in
shaping plant-pollinator interactions. Iris (Iridaceae), a genus comprising over 300 species …

Visual floral characters play an important role in shaping plant-pollinator interactions. The
genus Fritillaria L.(Liliaceae), comprising approximately 140 species, is described as …

Floral nectar, being a primary reward for insect visitors, is a key factor in shaping plant–
pollinator interactions. However, little is known about the variability in nectar traits, which …

Floral nectar is commonly colonized by yeasts and bacteria, whose growth largely depends
on their capacity to assimilate nutrient resources, withstand high osmotic pressures, and …

Nuptial and extranuptial nectaries are involved in interactions with different animal functional
groups. Nectar traits involved in pollination mutualisms are well known. However, we know …

The purpose of our study was to determine the role of flower structure and nectar
composition in shaping the reproductive success (RS) of the generalist orchid Epipactis …

The Mediterranean basin hosts a high diversity of plants and bees, and it is considered one
of the world's biodiversity hotspots. Insect pollination, ie, pollen transfer from male …

The increasing commercial production of R. idaeus offers insects nectar and pollen rewards,
thus increasing the chance of cross-pollination, which enhances fruit yields. The knowledge …
