Changes in both the sugar concentration and nectar volume produced by hummingbird-pollinated plants may be evolved features to dictate the actions of the pollinators to optimize reproductive success in the flower. This study attempts to determine the changes in sugar concentration and nectar volume produced over the lifespan of Centropogon solanifolius (Campanulaceae), a hummingbird-pollinated flower. Hummingbird mites (Ascidae) data was examined to look for correlations between colonization and nectar volume. Nectar volume and sugar concentration were recorded for bagged flowers rose early in the plants life and slowed as the chance of the flower already being pollinated increased. Mite colonization proportions mimic nectar volume accumula...
