Survey dataset on mutualistic interactions among Euterpe edulis Mart. (Arecaceae) and floral and frugivorous visitors considering influence of neighborhood plant density and availability of resources

open access: yesData in Brief, 2018
The data are supporting the research article “Effects of neighborhood on pollination and seed dispersal of a threatened palm” (Santos et al., 2018). We recorded through focal observation mutualistic interactions with floral and frugivorous visitors and ...

Non-Additive Effects of Genotypic Diversity Increase Floral Abundance and Abundance of Floral Visitors

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
In the emerging field of community and ecosystem genetics, genetic variation and diversity in dominant plant species have been shown to play fundamental roles in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem function. However, the importance of intraspecific genetic variation and diversity to floral abundance and pollinator visitation has received little ...

Seasonal variation in the response of a monoecious crop to increased temperature and fertilizers

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Climate warming may affect the performance of plants directly through altering vegetative or reproductive traits, and indirectly through modifying interactions with their pollinators.

Aggregate enantiostyly: Floral visitor interactions with a previously unreported form of floral display

open access: yesJournal of Pollination Ecology, 2018
Floral herkogamy, or the spatial separation of reproductive structures, plays an important role in the evolution of plant mating systems. One form of herkogamy is enantiostyly, or the alternate presentation of stigmas to the left and right of the floral axis.

Are pollination syndromes useful predictors of floral visitors in Tasmania? [PDF]

open access: yesAustral Ecology, 2000
Abstract Diurnal visitors to the flowers of many native plant species were identified in a wide range of Tasmanian sclerophyllous vegetation between September 1996 and April 1997. These foraging profiles were analysed to determine whether they were characteristic of various floral morphologies in predictable ways.
