Evolutionary ecology of nectar.

Annals of botany - 23 Jan 2019

Parachnowitsch Amy L, Manson Jessamyn S, Sletvold Nina

Abstract excerpt

Background: Floral nectar is an important determinant of plant-pollinator interactions and an integral component of pollination syndromes, suggesting it is under pollinator-mediated selection. However, compared to floral display traits, we know little about the evolutionary ecology of nectar. Combining a literature review with a meta-analysis approach, we summarize the evidence for heritable variation in nectar...
