Nectar, the main floral reward for pollinators, varies greatly in composition and
concentration. The assumption that nectar quality is equivalent to its sugar (energy) …

Habitat management involving manipulation of farmland vegetation can exert direct
suppressive effects on pests and promote natural enemies. Advances in theory and practical …

Honey bees feed on floral nectar and pollen that they store in their colonies as honey and
bee bread. Social division of labor enables the collection of stores of food that are consumed …

Nectar contains water, sugars and amino acids to attract pollinators and defenders and is
protected from nectar robbers and microorganisms by secondary compounds and …

Nectar properties tend to be similar for plants visited by the same kinds of pollinators, and
much of the available information on nectar chemistry has been collected in the context of …

Feeding on Non-Prey Resources by Natural Enemies Moshe Coll Reports on the
consumption of non-prey food sources, particularly plant materials, by predators and …

Nectar is the most important reward offered by plants to pollinating animals. This book is a
modern and interdisciplinary text on nectar and nectaries, prompted by the expansion of …

Co‐flowering plant species commonly share flower visitors, and thus have the potential to
influence each other's pollination. In this study we analysed 750 quantitative plant–pollinator …

Environmental changes threaten plant‐pollinator mutualisms and their critical ecosystem
service. Drivers such as land use, invasions and climate change can affect pollinator …

Reduction of noncrop habitats, intensive use of pesticides and high levels of disturbance
associated with intensive crop production simplify the farming landscape and bring about a …
