Charles Darwin believed that nectar robbing always had a negative impact on the plant and his assumption was unquestioned by the late twentieth century. Now it is fairly well known that the impact of nectar robbing on plants is not as straightforward as assumed. Only one third of the studies of nectar robbing have revealed a negative impact on the plant, while others have shown either neutral or positive effect.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The History of the world is not the theatre of happiness. Periods of happiness are blank pages in it, for they are periods of harmony—periods when the antithesis is in abeyance.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“In history as in human life, regret does not bring back a lost moment and a thousand years will not recover something lost in a single hour.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
