Give examples of how plants and animal pollinators have coevolved.

Concepts to Consider: Flowers of different colors and scents attract different pollinators. Animals coevolved special body parts to obtain nectar and pollen grains, while dispersing pollen for plants. Examples of this include the hairy bodies of bumblebees to which pollen adheres, the long, curved beaks of honeycreepers, which can be inserted into elongated flowers, and the orchids that resemble female bees with which male bees attempt copulation.
