Pollination research in India: Current status, future vision and conservation implications 印度的传粉研究现状、愿景与保护启示

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 330-341, December 2024.
Despite the availability of data on plants and their pollinators from the Indian sub‐continent, detailed investigations that explain the intricacy of the mutualistic interaction at both population and community levels have largely been limited. This review explores the current status of pollination ecology research in India and suggests future ...

Ratio changes in blood‐feeding and voltinism in black flies (Diptera: Simuliidae) over a latitudinal gradient in North America north of Mexico

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 566-572, December 2024.
Female simuliid species traits of voltinism and feeding produce 5 two‐trait states: non‐feeding/univoltine, ornithophilic/univoltine, mammalophilic/univoltine, ornithophilic/multivoltine, mammalophilic/multivoltine. We examined latitudinal variation in each two‐trait state using three large databases.

Ornithophily in the genus Salvia L. (Lamiaceae)

open access: yes, 2007
This dissertation presents for the first time a survey of bird pollinated (ornithophilous) Salvia species. Within the approximately 1000 species of the worldwide distributed genus roughly 20% (186 spp.) are bird pollinated. Excepting four species in the Old World (South Africa and Madagascar), ornithophilous species are restricted to the New World ...

Floral Visitors and Florivory in Tacinga inamoena (Cactaceae) in the Ex Situ Collection of the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden

open access: yesJournal of Zoological and Botanical Gardens
Tacinga inamoena (K. Schum.) N.P. Taylor & Stuppy (Cactaceae, Opuntioideae) is a native Brazilian species found in the Caatinga phytogeographic domain. Although its flowers are adapted for bird pollination (ornithophily), few birds visit these plants in ...

Bird‐flower colour on islands supports the bee‐avoidance hypothesis

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 600-611, March 2024.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Many insular plant species inhabiting different archipelagos worldwide present typical ornithophilous floral traits (e.g. copious nectar, red‐orange colours), but most of them are visited by insectivorous/granivorous birds and lizards, which act as generalist ...

Drivers of sunbird‐plant interactions on Mount Cameroon: Between neutrality and niche‐based processes

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 56, Issue 1, Page 136-148, January 2024.
Sunbird‐plant interactions on MountCameroon are driven by both neutral and niche‐based processes. The importance of niche‐based processes increases during the rainy season, due to the phenology of specialized of ornithophilous flowers. Moreover, we can confirm the importance of the correlation between tube and bill length.
