Floral characteristics support nocturnal pollination and pollination syndrome in Barringtonia racemosa

open access: yesEnvironmental and Experimental Biology, 2022
To test for pollination syndrome and to complement records of foraging visitors of an associate mangrove, Barringtonia racemosa (L.) Spreng., aspects of its floral biology were investigated. Phenology and floral rewards (pollen viability, pollen histochemistry and nectar sugar concentration) were focused on owing to their role in plant-pollinator ...

Variation in plant-animal interactions along an elevational gradient of moist forest in a semiarid area of Brazil

open access: yesActa Botânica Brasílica, 2016
Pollination and dispersal are critical ecological processes that directly affect the reproductive success of plants and are important for understanding the structure of plant communities.

Nectary structure is not related to pollination system in Trichocereeae cactus from Northwest Argentina

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021
Floral nectaries are essential for plant reproduction but little is known about the relationship between these secretory structures and pollination system in cacti.

Vascular flora in dry-shrub and wet grassland Cerrado seven years after a fire, Federal District, Brazil [PDF]

open access: yesCheck List, 2013
Studies of temporal dynamics for grassland sites report that fire suppression plays a crucial role in floristic changes. The objective of this study was to verify whether after seven years without fire, communities showed variations in terms of ...

Multifunctional Bracts in the Dove Tree Davidia involucrata (Nyssaceae:Cornales) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Although there has been much experimental work on floral traits that are under selection from mutualists and antagonists, selection by abiotic environmental factors on flowers has been largely ignored.

Effective pollinators of Asian sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera): contemporary pollinators may not reflect the historical pollination syndrome [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Botany, 2009
If stabilizing selection by pollinators is a prerequisite for pollinator-mediated floral evolution, spatiotemporal variation in the pollinator assemblage may confuse the plant-pollinator interaction in a given species. Here, effective pollinators in a living fossil plant Nelumbo nucifera (Nelumbonaceae) were examined to test whether beetles are major ...

Size and isolation of naturally isolated habitats do not affect plant-bee interactions: A case study of ferruginous outcrops within the eastern Amazon forest.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Pollination may be severely affected by the decreasing size and increasing isolation of habitat patches. However, most studies that have considered the effects of these two variables on plant-pollinator interactions have been carried out in areas that ...

Reproductive Biology and Breeding Systems of Two Opisthopappus Endemic and Endangered Species on the Taihang Mountains

open access: yesPlants, 2023
Opisthopappus is a perennial, endemic herb of the Taihang Mountains in China. Two species of this genus (O. longilobus and O. taihangensis) are important wild genetic resources for Asteraceae; however, their reproductive biology has been lacking until ...
