Data from: Flower movement balances pollinator needs and pollen protection

Alexander Haverkamp, Xiang Li, Bill S. Hansson, Ian T. Baldwin, Markus Knaden & Felipe Yon
Flower signaling and orientation are key characteristics, which determine a flower’s pollinator guild. However, many flowers actively move during their daily cycle, changing both their detectability and accessibility to pollinators. The flowers of the wild tobacco Nicotiana attenuata orientate their corolla upwards at sunset and downwards after sunrise. Here, we investigated the effect of different flower orientations on a major pollinator of N. attenuata, the hawkmoth Manduca sexta. We found that although flower orientation influenced...
