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.

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.

The conservation of urban flower visitors Down Under
Frontiers in Sustainable Cities, 2023 The majority of the human population now lives in urban environments and that proportion is forecast to increase dramatically by 2050. As urbanization increases, the urban environment will increasingly play a role in biodiversity conservation.

An exploratory study of the functional significance of the floral secretory structures in two Miconia species (Melastomataceae) [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de CiênciasAiming to verify whether the diversity of secretory structures with their respective exudates are or not responsible for the attendance of floral visitors in Miconia species, the floral secretory structures of two Amazonian species of Miconia were ...

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2019 This study aimed to evaluate the effects of florivory and of the patrolling ants associated to EFNs-extrafloral nectaries, on the frequency of floral visitors, using the specie Ipomoea carnea subs. fistulosa (Martius and Choise) in Caatinga area.

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 ...
