The majority of flowering plants relies on animal pollinators for sexual reproduction and
many animal pollinators rely on floral resources. However, interests of plants and pollinators …

Plants are not just passive living beings that exist in nature. They are complex and highly
adaptable species that react sensitively to environmental forces/stimuli with movement …

Pollinator nutritional ecology provides insights into plant–pollinator interactions, coevolution,
and the restoration of declining pollinator populations. Bees obtain their protein and lipid …

As bees' main source of protein and lipids, pollen is critical for their development,
reproduction, and health. Plant species vary considerably in the macronutrient content of …

In temperate ecosystems, elevated temperatures, and drought occur especially during
spring and summer, which are crucial periods for flowering, pollination, and reproduction of …

Preventing malnutrition through consuming nutritionally appropriate resources represents a
challenge for foraging animals. This is due to often high variation in the nutritional quality of …

The interaction between plants and pollinators has intrigued scientists for centuries. While it
continues to be [a] subject of ongoing research in basic and applied ecology, we tend to …

For pollinators such as bees, nectar mainly provides carbohydrates and pollen provides
proteins, amino acids, and lipids to cover their nutritional needs. Here, to examine …

The nutritional composition of food is often complex as resources contain a plethora of
different chemical compounds, some of them more, some less meaningful to consumers …

The high variability observed in floral traits has been interpreted as resulting from the
adaptation of plants to pollinators, as the latter present innate preferences for specific floral …
