Herbaceous perennial ornamental plants can support complex pollinator communities
Scientific Reports, 2021 Human-designed landscapes can host diverse pollinator communities, and the availability of floral resources is central to supporting insect biodiversity in highly modified environments.

Floral Maturation and Insect Visitors of Pachyptera hymenaea (Bignoniaceae)
Biotropica, 1977 Flowers of the woody vine Pachyptera hymenaea change from dark lavender to light lavender or white in three days while retained on plants. By the time flowers are three days old, they do not contain pollen or nectar, but may attract pollinators to the plants. Thrips and weevils preyed upon reproductive parts of P. hymenaea.

Exotic flower visitors exploit large floral trait spaces resulting in asymmetric resource partitioning with native visitors [PDF]
Functional Ecology, 2017 Abstract Exotic species often cause severe alterations in native communities due to their ability to rapidly and efficiently utilize a broad spectrum of resources. In flower–visitor interactions, the breadth of resource use by native and exotic animals as well as the partitioning of resources among them is often estimated based on the number of ...

Self-pollination rate and floral-display size in Asclepias syriaca (Common Milkweed) with regard to floral-visitor taxa [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2014 Animals fertilize thousands of angiosperm species whose floral-display sizes can significantly influence pollinator behavior and plant reproductive success. Many studies have measured the interactions among pollinator behavior, floral-display size, and plant reproductive success, but few studies have been able to separate the effects of pollinator ...

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.Integrating data from plastid genomes, nrDNA, and 353 low‐copy nuclear genes, this study establishes a robust phylogenetic framework for Hylodesmum. This framework supports a taxonomic revision recognizing 18 species and reveals a complex pattern of bidirectional EA–ENA dispersal, with mammals as a plausible dispersal agent. ABSTRACT Phylogenomics with

Notes on floral visitors in Seemannia sylvatica (Kunth) Hanstein (Gesneriaceae)
Revista Peruana de Biología, 2012 Pollination in Gesneriaceae commonly is associated with syndromes of ornithophily or melittophily, and usually others visitors are robbers of nectar. We present a note about the fauna that visit the flowers of Seemannia sylvatica in Cusco, where hummingbirds and insects were recorded visiting the flowers. Based on floral characteristics and behavior of

The impacts of biological invasions
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

How Consumers Contest Legitimacy: Skepticism Toward Corporate Social Responsibility
Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Consumer skepticism toward Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives operates not only as an individual‐level response but also as a societal governance mechanism that disciplines firms and reshapes organizational legitimacy. Drawing on in‐depth interviews with consumers in an emerging Latin American economy, this study advances an ...

The scaling of seed‐dispersal specialization in interaction networks across levels of organization
Ecography, EarlyView.Natural ecosystems are characterized by a specialization pattern where few species are common while many others are rare. In ecological networks involving biotic interactions, specialization operates as a continuum at individual, species, and community levels. Theory predicts that ecological and evolutionary factors can primarily explain specialization.
