Living Away From Specialized Pollinators: The Pollination System of Ceiba pentandra in the Yucatan Peninsula

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.
The pollination system of C. pentandra was addressed. This system was highly generalized. ABSTRACT Plant‐pollinator systems can exist along the gradient from extreme specialization to extreme generalization. Theoretical work predicts that high pollinator reliability may lead to specialized pollination systems, while pollinator unpredictability may ...

Passage Through Artibeus lituratus (Olfers, 1818) Increases Germination of Cecropia pachystachya (Urticaceae) Seeds [PDF]

open access: yesTropical Conservation Science, 2017
Neotropical frugivorous bats are common seed dispersers of several pioneer plant species, conferring to the bats an important role for conservation purposes. However, the effects of bats on seed germination have been scarcely addressed. Here, we evaluate effects of passage of seeds through guts of Artibeus lituratus bats on the germination of the ...
