Behavioural and morphological traits influence sex-specific floral resource use by hummingbirds

Maria A. Maglianesi et al.

Summary: Research on resource partitioning in plant-pollinator mutualistic systems often overlooks the differences between males and females. This study found significant differences in patterns of floral resource use between male and female hummingbirds, with females having a broader floral niche breadth and visiting more dissimilar plant species compared to males of the same species. These findings highlight the importance of understanding intersexual variation in shaping interactions and plant reproduction in ecological communities.

Nectar gardens on school grounds reconnect plants, birds and people

Bongani E. Mnisi et al.

Summary: The study aimed to restore bird-pollination mutualism in cities by creating stepping stone habitats for nectar-feeding birds in Cape Town, South Africa. Through planting gardens of indigenous bird-pollinated plants at schools, the availability of nectar increased, leading to an increased probability of observing specific bird species on school grounds. The results suggest that it is possible to reconnect people with nature and restore biodiversity through such efforts.

Widespread vulnerability of flowering plant seed production to pollinator declines

James G. Rodger et al.

Summary: The study found that the lack of pollinators has a significant impact on plant reproduction, with some plant species unable to produce seeds without pollinators, while others face a major reduction in fertility. Specifically, plants with tree growth form, multiple reproductive episodes, more specialized pollination systems, and tropical distributions are more vulnerable to the effects of reduced pollinator services.
