Pollination of hemiparasites (Loranthaceae) by spider hunters (Nectariniidae) in the canopy of a Bornean tropical rain forest [PDF]
We observed pollination process of three hemiparasites, Loranthaceae, Amylotheca duthieana (King) Danser, Trithecanthera sparsa Barlow and T. xiphostachys Tiegh. Flowers of these three species were cylindrical with different corolla lengths. Flowers of A.

“Hummingbird” floral traits interact synergistically to discourage visitation by bumble bee foragers [PDF]
Pollination syndromes are suites of floral traits presumed to reflect adaptations to attract and utilize a “primary” type of animal pollinator. However, syndrome traits may also function to deter “secondary” flower visitors that reduce plant fitness ...

Domiciliary adaptation of triatomine or pre-adaptation to anthropophily and ornithophily?
Nas áreas onde se considera que os triatomíneos não se adaptaram aos domicílios, tem sido encontradas colônias, desses insetos, em casas habitadas por mamíferos silvestres ou sinantrópicos. As determinações de sangue feitas em triatomíneos, coletados nos domicílios ou seus anexos, apresentam concordância com os dados obtidos em exemplares capturados em
