Reproductive biology and flower-visitor interactions of two bromeliad species from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest [PDF]
Plant Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Background and aims – The Bromeliaceae family has great importance in the maintenance of neotropical communities. In the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, bromeliads are among the major groups responsible for maintaining the local flora and fauna and ...

PLoS 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
Frontiers 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.

The importance of flower visitors not predicted by floral syndromes
South African Journal of Botany, 2009 AbstractFlower visitors that do not fit a perceived floral syndrome are often over-looked and deemed unimportant. In Tritoniopsis revoluta, an irid with a very long corolla tube conforming to the long proboscid fly pollination syndrome, we determine visitation rates of bees and long proboscid flies, as well as ascertain whether bees could be important ...

Journal 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.

Behavior and Diversity of Floral Visitors to Campomanesia Adamantium (Myrtaceae)
Revista Colombiana de Entomología, 2017 Considering the important roles of pollinators in ecosystem services, their identification and studies of their behavior would be extremely important to efforts directed towards their preservation and management. With the aim of examining the diversity and behavior of the floral visitors to Campomanesia ...
