Nectar robbing – harvesting nectar illegitimately can have a variety of outcomes for plant sexual reproduction and the pollinator community. robbers damage flowers while nectar, which could affect behavior subsequent flower visitors and, consequently, reproduction. However, only manipulation by has so far received attention. We found short‐tongued bee, Hoplonomia sp. (Halictidae), mutilating conspicuous lower petal zygomorphic Leucas aspera (Lamiaceae) nectar. hypothesized that mutilation...
Description of a new species genus Ceratina Latreille, 1802 (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) from Eastern Himalayas, India with country record
Fragile wetland habitats are susceptible to multiple threats from anthropogenic activities. Direct waste deposition, habitat modification and overexploitation of fish have caused alternations in food webs wetlands. Kingfishers ecological indicators with the potential ability respond minute changes their microenvironment. Their abundance distribution at affected by environmental factors. We studied kingfisher assemblages India determine proximate ultimate causes decline. recorded five species...
