Pollination Services: Hummingbirds play a crucial role in pollination networks by transferring pollen between flowers as they forage for nectar
Specialized Plant Relationships: Hummingbirds often have specialized relationships with certain plant species, co-evolving alongside them to become efficient pollinators
Long-Distance Pollination: Due to their ability to cover extensive foraging ranges and their high energy demands, hummingbirds can facilitate pollination over long distances
Pollination of Native and Endemic Species: In regions where hummingbirds are native, they often play a vital role in pollinating native and endemic plant species
Pollination of Specialized Flowers: Some plant species have evolved specialized floral adaptations to attract hummingbirds as their primary pollinators.
Ecosystem Stability and Resilience: By facilitating pollination and reproductive success in a wide variety of plant species, hummingbirds contribute to the stability and resilience of ecosystems.
Contribution to Floral Diversity: Hummingbirds can influence the distribution and abundance of flowering plants by selectively visiting certain species over others
