Contradistinctive floral attributes, pollination guilds and their consequence on the outcrossing rate in two elevational morphs of Rhododendron arboreum Sm. [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Infraspecific floral trait variations may appear in response to elevational differences in alpine plant species. There is enormous information on the selection of such morphs mediated by biotic and/or abiotic variables.

Combining blood meal analysis and parasite detection yields a more comprehensive understanding of insect host feeding patterns [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background Traditionally, blood meal analysis has been the primary method used to assess feeding patterns of insects. In contrast, parasite detection is commonly applied to monitor parasite circulation and prevalence in vectors, but rarely to study host ...

Entomophily, ornithophily and anemochory in the self-incompatible Boswellia ovalifoliolata Bal. & Henry (Burseraceae), an endemic and endangered medicinally important tree species

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2012
Boswellia ovalifoliolata (Burseraceae) is a narrow endemic and endangered deciduous tree species. Its flowering, fruiting and seed dispersal events occur in a leafless state during the dry season.

Domiciliação de triatomíneos ou pré-adaptação à antropofilia e à ornitofilia? Domiciliary adaptation of triatomine or pre-adaptation to anthropophily and ornithophily?

Revista de Saúde Pública, 1983
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

Phylogenomics reveals the evolution of floral traits associated with pollinators and pollinator-prey conflict within the carnivorous Pinguicula subgenus Temnoceras. [PDF]

Am J Bot
Abstract Premise The carnivorous plant genus Pinguicula (Lentibulariaceae) exhibits remarkable floral diversity associated with pollination, particularly in the largest subgenus Temnoceras, which spans Mexico and Central America. Despite this diversity, the relationships between species and the evolution of key floral traits remain unresolved. Here, we

Testing macroevolutionary predictions of the Grant-Stebbins model in the origin of Aeschynanthus acuminatus. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary The Grant‐Stebbins model predicts that a plant species encountering different pollinators across its range may undergo local adaptation and, subsequently, ecological speciation. We tested whether this could explain the origin of Aeschynanthus acuminatus (Gesneriaceae), a species phylogenetically derived from sunbird specialist ancestors.

Climate Change, Air Quality, and Pollen Allergies-State of the Art and Recommendations for Research and Public Health. [PDF]

Allergy
ABSTRACT Allergies are one of the major health challenges of our time, associated with a high individual burden of disease and high costs for the healthcare system. Given their prevalence, allergies are also highly relevant from a public health perspective. The development of allergic diseases is multifactorial. In addition to individual factors (e.g.,

Floral Integration and Phenotypic Selection on Floral Traits of <i>Ipomoea cavalcantei</i> (Convolvulaceae), a Rare, Endemic, and Endangered Species to the Amazon Ironstone Outcrops. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This paper analyzed the evolutionary potential of Ipomoea cavalcantei (an endemic species from the Amazon) by using floral integration and phenotypic selection analysis. The analyzed population presented floral integration in style length, probably due to selective pressures from pollinators on floral traits related to pollen deposition.

Untangling biodiversity interactions: A meta network on pollination in Earth's most diverse tropical savanna. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We addressed how pollination meta network with vertebrate and invertebrate species is assembled in the world's most diverse savanna and identified potential biogeographical bias within the region. We found a generalization of interactions at the meta network level but a high degree of specialization within the modules, where bees are the module ...
