• The Pollination of Mid Mesozoic Seed Plants and the Early History of Long-proboscid Insects1,2,3 (2010, background): “…nutritional value of insect-consumed secretions occurring in present-day plants, including extranuptial nectary secretions in ferns, pollination drops in gymnosperms, and nectar and nectarlike secretions in basal angiosperms, suggest a third modification (Pacini et al., 2003; Nepi et al., 2009).”
• A SYSTEMATIC SURVEY OF FLORAL NECTARIES (2007, background): “There are several ways in which nectar can be exuded though epidermal cells (Fahn, 1979, 1988; Pacini et al., 2003):”
• Allocation of larval and adult resources to reproduction in a fruit‐feeding butterfly (2004, background): “Pacini, Nepi & Vespini 2003 ), and we are making progress in understanding its reproductive role in butterflies (e.g.”
• Floral diversity and the facilitation of pollination (2006, background): “…and is not likely to be relevant to pollinators that collect only pollen or only nectar (although nectar composition varies among species and may be the basis for pollinator discrimination: Galetto & Bernardello 2003; Pacini et al. 2003; Bluthgen & Fiedler 2004; Mevi-Schutz & Erhardt 2005).”
• Nutritional value of floral nectar sources for flight in the parasitoid wasp, Cotesia glomerata (2006, background): “Both extrafloral and floral nectars are mainly composed of glucose, fructose and sucrose, with their proportions varying with the plant species, but they also contain small amounts of other sugars, lipids, amino acids and even protein components (Baker & Baker, 1983; Pacini et al., 2003).”
• Morphological and histological characterization of the osmophores and nectaries of four species of Acianthera (Orchidaceae: Pleurothallidinae) (2010, background): “The diversity of nectaries in Orchidaceae is intimately related to their adaptations to diverse groups of pollinators (Baker and Baker 1983; Pacini et al. 2003).”
• Nectary structure and ultrastructure (2007, background): “…and structure (Fahn, 1979a, 1988; Durkee, 1983; Smets et al., 2000), both between species and within species, depending on flower sexual expression or flower morph in heterostylous and heteroantheric species (Nepi at al., 1996; Küchmeister et al., 1997; Fahn & Shimony, 2001; Pacini et al., 2003).”
