DISRUPTION OF A BELOWGROUND MUTUALISM ALTERS INTERACTIONS BETWEEN PLANTS AND THEIR FLORAL VISITORS [PDF]
Ecology, 2008 Plants engage in diverse and intimate interactions with unrelated taxa. For example, aboveground. oral visitors provide pollination services, while belowground arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) enhance nutrient capture. Traditionally in ecology, these processes were studied in isolation, reinforcing the prevailing assumption that these above- and ...

Pollination of Adenocalymma bracteatum (Bignoniaceae): floral biology and visitors [PDF]
Neotropical Entomology, 2010 Adenocalymma bracteatum is a shrub of dense foliage and yellow flowers, easily found on grasslands areas in Central Brazil. The aim of this study was to determine the reproductive biology and the flower visitors of A. bracteatum in a pasture area nearby Ivinhema city, MS (Brazil). The flowering peak occurs in winter.

Floral biology of Stachytarpheta maximiliani Scham. (Verbenaceae) and its floral visitors [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Entomologia, 2006 This study describes the reproductive system of Stachytarpheta maximiliani (Verbenaceae), including its floral biology, nectar and pollen availability and insect foraging patterns, identifying whose species act as pollinators. It was carried out in a Brazilian Atlantic rain forest site.

Floral Specialization: what do floral attributes and floral visitors tell us?
, 2022 Abstract Floral traits may either facilitate or constrain the gathering of food resources by certain animals. We therefore sought here to define the floral specialization levels of 19 plant species visited by foraging insects, based on their floral attributes and on the behaviors of their respective insect visitors.

Effects of floral metal accumulation on floral visitor communities: Introducing the elemental filter hypothesis [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2015 • Premise of the study: For plant species that occur in heavy‐metal‐rich soil, floral metal accumulation may produce an “elemental filter” that reduces pollinator visitation rate and species richness and changes pollinator species composition relative to closely related species growing on normal soils.

Ants as flower visitors : floral ant-repellence and the impact of ant scent-marks on pollinator behaviour [PDF]
, 2012 As flower visitors, ants rarely benefit a plant, commonly disrupting pollination by deterring other flower visitors, or stealing nectar. This thesis examines three aspects of ant-flower interactions, focusing on the occurrence of floral traits that ...

Pollinators and floral visitors of two orchids in a protected natural area in Tuxpan, Veracruz
Ecosistemas y Recursos Agropecuarios, 2019 Floral visitors, particularly pollinators, are important during the life cycle of many orchids. However, despite their biological importance, this information is still unknown in many species, particularly those in mangrove forests.

Floral biology of candeia (Eremanthus erythropappus, Asteraceae)
Pesquisa Florestal Brasileira, 2012 Floral biology and pollinators of candeia (Eremanthus erythropappus) were analyzed in a natural population. We studied anthesis, flower morphology, stigmatic receptivity, pollen viability and floral visitors.
