Data indicate a non-random distribution of nectar among plants in a population of Delphinium nelsonii Greene. More plants than expected had no nectar (blanks) or large amounts of nectar (bonanzas), while fewer plants than expected had intermediate amounts of nectar. This bonanza-blank pollinator reward schedule suggests that a high proportion of the nectar obtained by pollinators comes from occasional bonanza plants encountered in the population.
数据表明,在纳尔逊翠雀花(Delphinium nelsonii Greene)种群中,花蜜在植株间的分布并非随机。无花蜜(空白)或有大量花蜜(富矿)的植株数量比预期的多,而花蜜量处于中等水平的植株数量比预期的少。这种富矿-空白传粉者奖励模式表明,传粉者获取的花蜜中,很大一部分来自于种群中偶尔出现的富矿植株。
