Approximately one-third of the typical human Western diet depends upon pollination for production, and honey bees (Apis mellifera) are the primary pollinators of numerous food crops, including fruits, nuts, vegetables, and oilseeds.

Floral UV Features of Plant Species From a Neotropical Savanna
Despite the wide interest in flower colours, only after the end of the nineteenth-century studies started to comprise floral UV reflection, which is invisible to humans but visible to the major groups of pollinators.

Phytoremediation is an economically viable green technology that utilizes hyperaccumulator plants to remove heavy metals (HM) from the soil. Hyperaccumulators are adept at sequestering high concentrations of HM in aerial parts and intracellular ...

Many flowers are fed on by florivores, but we know little about if and how feeding on flowers affects their visual and chemical advertisement and nectar resource, which could disrupt pollination.

Plant-pollinator interaction in a peatland ecosystem in Minas Gerais, Brazil
The Espinhaço Mountain Range is an important complex of mountains and plateaus within the Brazilian Cerrado. Within this area we can found peatlands ecosystem, which are important carbon reservoirs and home of a variety of plants and their floral ...

A systematic review of the direct and indirect effects of herbivory on plant reproduction mediated by pollination [PDF]
Background Plant reproduction is influenced by the net outcome of plant–herbivore and plant–pollinator interactions. While both herbivore impacts and pollinator impacts on plant reproduction have been widely studied, few studies examine them in concert ...

Ant species that remove diaspores alone are more efficient removers
Secondary diaspore removal on the ground is an important ecosystem process. In this process, solitary foraging ants with larger body sizes are more efficient because they may remove more diaspores, faster and carry them at greater distances.

Silicon and Plant–Animal Interactions: Towards an Evolutionary Framework
Herbivory is fundamental in ecology, being a major driver of ecosystem structure and functioning. Plant Si and phytoliths play a significant antiherbivory role, the understanding of which and of its evolutionary context will increase our understanding of
