Effect of nectar secretion rate on pollination success of Passiflora coccinea (Passifloraceae) in the Central Amazon [PDF]
The pollination of Passiflora coccinea by the hummingbird Phaethornis superciliosus was studied in Central Amazon, Brazil. We hypothesized that a greater nectar secretion rate (NSR) increases the pollination success of single flowers through Ph ...

Harnessing genomic resources for passion fruit improvement: Progress and prospects. [PDF]
Abstract Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) is a highly nutritious horticultural crop cultivated widely across tropical and subtropical regions. Despite decades of breeding efforts that have led to the release of a few high‐yielding cultivars, on‐farm productivity remains suboptimal, and several existing cultivars are showing signs of declining vigor ...

Evolution of larval gregariousness is associated with host plant specialisation, but not host morphology, in Heliconiini butterflies. [PDF]
Heliconiini larvae are likely to be in an evolutionary arms race with their Passifloraceae host plants. By analysing larval social behaviour we investigate whether host habitat, leaf defences and leaf size are important drivers of, or constraints on, the evolution of larval gregariousness.
