The long and the short of it: a global analysis of hawkmoth pollination niches and interaction networks
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-01)
Proboscis length has been proposed as a key dimension of plant pollination niches, but this niche space has not previously been explored at regional and global scales for any pollination system. Hawkmoths are ideal organisms ...
Possible tobacco progenitors share long-tongued hawkmoths as pollen vectors
(Springer Wien, 2003-10)
The putative ancestors of the allopolyploid hybrid Nicotiana tabacum have distinct flower features, apparently suited either for hawkmoth or bat pollination. This suggests that progenitors were reproductively isolated by ...
Short flowers for long tongues: Functional specialization in a nocturnal pollination network of an asclepiad in long-tongued hawkmoths
(2022-01-01)
Since Darwin, very long and narrow floral tubes have been known to represent the main floral morphological feature for specialized long-tongued hawkmoth pollination. However, specialization may be driven by other contrivances ...
Are the New World hummingbird-hawkmoths functional equivalents of hummingbirds?
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020-09-08)
Diversity patterns and chronobiology of hawkmoths (Lepidoptera, Sphingidae) in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest
(Springer, 2016-08-01)
As biodiversity loss rapidly increases through habitat degradation in the Amazon rainforest, the need to characterize and understand the species diversity becomes even more important. In this study we used empirical and ...
Low abundance of long-tongued pollinators leads to pollen limitation in four specialized hawkmoth-pollinated plants in the Atlantic Rain forest, Brazil
(Springer, 2014-11-01)
Long-tubed hawkmoth-pollinated species present some of the most remarkable examples of floral specialization depending exclusively on long-tongued hawkmoths for sexual reproduction. Nonetheless, long-tongued hawkmoths do ...
PLANT-POLLINATOR INTERACTIONS FROM FLOWER TO LANDSCAPE The long and the short of it: a global analysis of hawkmoth pollination niches and interaction networks
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2017-01-01)
1. Proboscis length has been proposed as a key dimension of plant pollination niches, but this niche space has not previously been explored at regional and global scales for any pollination system. Hawkmoths are ideal ...
A comunidade de esfingídeos (Lepidoptera, Sphingidae) e plantas esfingófilas numa área de cerrado no sudeste do Brasil: biogeografia e associações mutualísticasThe hawkmoth (Lepidoptera, Sphingidae) and hawkmoth-flower plant community in a Cerrado area of southeastern Brazil: biogeography and mutualistic associations

Generalized pollination system: are floral traits adapted to different pollinators?
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2014)
Flowers that are pollinated both during the day and at night could exhibit two different groups of pollinators and produce two different sets of attractants and rewards. We explored the patterns of emission of flower scents ...
Pollination and fitness of a hawkmoth-pollinated plant are related to light pollution and tree cover
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-09)
Urbanization results in biodiversity-damaging land use change since it is normally associated with reduced vegetation cover and installation of artificial lights. Light pollution raises illumination levels of night skies ...
