Flower visitors of Impatiens burtonii

We have released a video presenting the recent study on the role of long nectar spurs in pollination of Impatiens burtonii (Vlašánková et al. 2017, New Phytologist). You can directly see how the individual common visitors reach the flower spur and how efficient they are in accessing its nectar resources. The video, recorded by Štěpán Janeček and finalised by Jan Mertens, is now available on our youtube account or directly below this text.
