The evolution, ecology, and conservation of hummingbirds and their interactions with flowering plants
The ecological co‐dependency between plants and hummingbirds is a classic example of a
mutualistic interaction: hummingbirds rely on floral nectar to fuel their rapid metabolisms …

Pollinator specialization: from the individual to the community
BJ Brosi - New Phytologist, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Most spermatophytes need conspecific pollen in order to produce seed. This need for
specialization seems to conflict with the generalized nature of most plant–pollinator …
