Background Floral nectar is an important determinant of plant–pollinator interactions and an
integral component of pollination syndromes, suggesting it is under pollinator-mediated …

Plants attract mutualistic animals by offering a reward of nectar. Specifically, floral nectar
(FN) is produced to attract pollinators, whereas extrafloral nectar (EFN) mediates indirect …

Prostate cancer relapsing from antiandrogen therapies can exhibit variant histology with
altered lineage marker expression, suggesting that lineage plasticity facilitates therapeutic …

Abstract Background and Aims 'Pollination syndromes' are suites of phenotypic traits
hypothesized to reflect convergent adaptations of flowers for pollination by specific types of …

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 …

Evolutionary shifts to bird pollination (ornithophily) have occurred independently in many
lineages of flowering plants. This shift affects many floral features, particularly those …

The construction of classifications, as well as the understanding of biological diversity,
depends upon a careful comparison of attributes of the organisms studied (Stuessy, 1990). It …

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 …

Recent attempts to examine the biological processes responsible for the general
characteristics of mutualistic networks focus on two types of explanations: nonmatching …

We estimate phylogenetic relationships and the biogeographic and pollination history of
Costus subgenus Costus (Costaceae) using sequence data from the internal and external …
