Produção de néctar e visitas por abelhas em duas espécies cultivadas de Passiflora L. (Passifloraceae) Nectar production and bee visits in two cultivated species of Passiflora L. (Passifloraceae)

open access: yesActa Botânica Brasílica, 2012
A atividade dos polinizadores é afetada pela disponibilidade de recursos. Flores que produzem mais néctar podem ser mais visitadas e assim apresentar maior produção de frutos.

Floral resource diversity drives spatiotemporal variation in plant–pollinator network structure

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Mechanisms underlying community assembly, including those related to species interactions, vary across space and time. Plant–pollinator networks exemplify these dynamics, where link rewiring and turnover mediate adaptations to environmental changes. Bees rely on diverse floral resources (e.g.

Uncovering the Arabidopsis thaliana nectary transcriptome: investigation of differential gene expression in floral nectariferous tissues

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2009
Background Many flowering plants attract pollinators by offering a reward of floral nectar. Remarkably, the molecular events involved in the development of nectaries, the organs that produce nectar, as well as the synthesis and secretion of nectar itself,

Great Diversity of Insect Floral Associates May Partially Explain Ecological Success of Poison Ivy (\u3ci\u3eToxicodendron Radicans\u3c/i\u3e Subsp. \u3ci\u3eNegundo\u3c/i\u3e [Greene] Gillis, Anacardiaceae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Little is known about insect floral associates of poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans, Anacardiaceae), despite the species’ ubiquity and importance in nature and society.

Quantitative synthesis of the effects of drought on community composition and species interactions in terrestrial ecosystems

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Droughts, increasingly frequent under human‐driven climate change, are expected to intensify globally. Both pulsed and prolonged droughts can strongly affect organismal survival and population dynamics, potentially altering terrestrial communities and ecosystems.

Area‐restricted search under realistic constraints

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Abstract Area‐restricted search (ARS) is one of the most influential and widely used concepts in foraging theory, capturing a simple rule by which animals intensify local search following a resource encounter. Because ARS performs well in many spatially structured environments, it serves as a basic model for interpreting movement patterns across taxa ...

Flowering out of sync: Climate change alters the reproductive phenology of Terminalia paniculata in the Western Ghats of India

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how climate change impacts the plant life cycle is critical for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services. Our findings suggest that Terminalia paniculata Roth, a common tropical deciduous tree species in the Western Ghats, is now flowering and fruiting at more scattered times than it used to in the past.

Effects of Climate Change Scenarios on Growth, Flowering Characteristics, and Honey Production Potential of Pseudolysimachion rotundum var. subintegrum

open access: yesPlants
Climate change significantly influences plants’ physiology, flowering phenology, and nectar production, affecting pollinator interactions and apicultural sustainability. This study examines the physiological responses of Pseudolysimachion rotundum (Nakai)
