Differential Effects of Climate Warming on the Nectar Secretion of Early- and Late-Flowering Mediterranean Plants by Krista Takkis, Thomas Tscheulin, Theodora Petanidou

“…Therefore, we expect a future decrease in nectar secretion of late-flowering species, which could reduce the amount of nectar resources available for their pollinators. Early-flowering plants will be less affected (optimal temperatures were not significantly different from the future projected temperatures), and may in some cases even benefit from rising temperatures. …”
