Description
A method to experimentally add nectar rewards to naturally pollen-only rewarding flowers by depositing measured volumes of artificial nectar solution onto flower structures accessible to pollinators. This allows testing of how nectar rewards affect pollinator behavior and plant reproduction in species that do not naturally produce nectar.
Typical Equipment
- micro-pipettes
- artificial nectar solution
- sucrose
- glucose
- fructose
Output Measurements
- pollinator visit duration
- pollen deposition rates
- plant reproductive success
- nectar consumption
