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.

, 2021 Background and Aims: Salvia assurgens (a white-flowered sage) is considered to be a melittophilous species due to its floral architecture. However, there are no current empirical data supporting its assignment to this pollination syndrome.

Floral scents repel facultative flower visitors, but attract obligate ones [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2010 Biological mutualisms rely on communication between partners, but also require protective measures against exploitation. Animal-pollinated flowers need to attract pollinators but also to avoid conflicts with antagonistic consumers. The view of flower visitors as mutualistic and antagonistic agents considers primarily the plants' interest.

PLoS ONE, 2020 In increasingly urban landscapes, the loss of native pollen and nectar floral resources is impacting ecologically important pollinators. Increased urbanization has also brought about the rise of urban gardens which introduce new floral resources that may

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.

Floral scent chemodiversity is associated with high floral visitor but low bacterial richness on flowers. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Floral scents are complex blends of volatile compounds, yet the influence of floral scent chemodiversity, the richness, evenness, and functional disparity of phytochemical compounds in shaping interactions with flower visitors and microbes remains largely ...
