  Nectar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 Are nectar robbers cheaters or mutualists
Nectar robbers are birds, insects, or other flower visitors that remove nectar from flowers through a hole pierced or bitten in the corolla.
The effects of nectar robbers are complex and depend, in part, on the identity of the robber, the identity of the legitimate pollinator, how much nectar the robbers remove, and the variety of floral resources available in the environment.
Nectar from a particular flower may contain an essential amino acid and, for that reason alone, a pollinator may remain constant despite the presence of nectar robbers and low nectar volumes.

 NECTAR Researchers: Versions for "Financial Policies"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
NECTAR is not "guaranteed" a fresh round of funding at the start of every fiscal year, but must have its finances for the previous year reviewed first.
In the overall scheme of things, NECTAR finances are interdependent: NECTAR expenditure is measured both on a researcher-by-researcher basis and (more importantly) "as a network".
This means that, for example, should one researcher have unused NECTAR funds at the close of this fiscal year, this could negatively impact our overall Year 3 (2006) budgeting.

 Hummingbird Feeders
Hummingbirds get the energy they need to maintain their astonishing metabolism primarily from flower nectar and the sugar water they find at feeders (here's the recipe).
For protein and other nutrients, they also eat soft-bodied insects and spiders; I like Bob Sargent's perspective: "Hummers need nectar to power the bug eating machine that they are." Think of them as miniature flycatchers, and sugar is just the fuel for getting their real nourishment.
Water and sugar (usually sucrose) are the only constituents common to all natural nectars; most also contain traces of minerals and amino acids, but they vary from plant to plant, and probably are of little dietary importance.
