Pollination by nitidulid beetles in the hemi-epiphytic aroid Monstera lentii (Araceae: Monsteroideae)
(2017)
Among aroids (Araceae family) with bisexual flowers, the reproductive biology of the neotropical genus Monstera (Subfamily Monsteroideae) is misunderstood. Nothing is known about the reproductive phenology and the sparse ...
Are native bees and Apis mellifera equally efficient pollinators of the rupestrian grassland daisy Aspilia jolyana (Asteraceae)?
(Soc Botanica Brasil, 2018-07-01)
Most angiosperms rely on animals for pollination, and insects, especially bees, are the most frequent pollinators. Many native Neotropical plants are frequently visited by the invasive honeybee (Apis mellifera), but its ...
Non-Euglossine bees also function as pollinators of Sinningia species (Gesneriaceae) in southeastern Brazil

The costs and benefits of pollinator dependence: empirically based simulations predict raspberry fruit quality
(Ecological Society of America, 2018-07-24)
Globally, agriculture increasingly depends on pollinators to produce many seed and fruit crops. However, what constitutes optimal pollination service for pollinator-dependent crops remains unanswered. We developed a ...
Differences between the quality of strawberries (Fragaria x ananassa) pollinated by the stingless bees Scaptotrigona aff. depilis and Nannotrigona testaceicornis
(FUNPEC-EDITORA, 2009)
We investigated the success of two stingless bee species in pollinating strawberries in greenhouses. Three greenhouses and one open field area were used; one greenhouse had only strawberry plants (control), another (G1) ...
Geographic variation in flower color: spectral composition versus perception of pollinators
(2013)
Geographic variation of flower color can be the result of selective processes mediated by pollinators. Changes in flower color can steer visual attention of pollinators in different ways, thus influencing enhancing plants ...
Do floral syndromes predict specialisation in plant pollination systems? Assessment of diurnal and nocturnal pollination of escallonia myrtoidea
(2006)
Pollination syndromes lead to questions concerning the role of different suites of pollinators on the pollination success of plants. Escallonia myrtoidea exhibits floral traits associated with pollination by diurnal ...
Flower morphology and pollination mechanism in three sympatric goodyerinae orchids from southeastern Brazil
