Fungus-mediated plant-pollinator mutualism in Monoon laui (Annonaceae): functional differentiation of stigmatic exudate and petal nectar

Abstract Background Floral nectar typically functions as a pollinator reward in mutualistic flower-pollinator interactions, with this mutualism sometimes strengthened when plants provide the pollinators with brood sites and larval food as rewards.
