Flowering Phenology and the Influence of Seasonality in Flower Conspicuousness for Bees
(2021-02-16)
Flowering patterns are crucial to understand the dynamics of plant reproduction and resource availability for pollinators. Seasonal climate constrains flower and leaf phenology, where leaf and flower colors likely differ ...
Nectar Replaced by Volatile Secretion: A Potential New Role for Nectarless Flowers in a Bee-Pollinated Plant Species
(Frontiers Media Sa, 2018-09-05)
The presence of nectarless flowers in nectariferous plants is a widespread phenomenon in angiosperms. However, the frequency and distribution of nectarless flowers in natural populations, and the transition from nectariferous ...
Flower reshaping in the transition to hummingbird pollination in Loasaceae subfam. Loasoideae despite absence of corolla tubes or spurs
(Springer, 2016-03)
Many angiosperm lineages present transitions from bee to hummingbird pollination. The flower design in most of these lineages includes either corolla tubes or nectar spurs, structures that commonly experienced an elongation ...
A competição de abelhas noturnas, abelhas do mel e abelhas sem ferrão pelo pólen de plantas de floração maciça
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisBrasilICB - DEPARTAMENTO DE BOTÂNICAPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Biologia VegetalUFMG, 2021-11-30)
Mass flowering species, whose flowers open in large amount at the same time for a short period, are known as exceptional sources of pollen for bees. In the mass flowering species with flowers that open at night, during ...
Color signals of bee-pollinated flowers: the significance of natural leaf background
(2021-05-01)
Premise: Flower color is a primary pollinator attractant and generally adjusted to the cognitive system of the pollinators. The perception of flower color depends on the visual system of pollinators and also on environmental ...
Pollination of Anemopaegma album (Bignoniaceae) with focus on floral nectar as the mediator of interactions with mutualistic and antagonistic bees
(2015)
We focused our study on the pollination of Anemopaegma album, a Bignoniaceae species from and on the features of primary attractive, the nectar, which mediate the interaction with mutualists and antagonists bees. We ...
Nonadditive effects of flower damage and hummingbird pollination on the fecundity of Mimulus luteus
(SPRINGER, 2006-10)
Flower herbivory and pollination have been described as interactive processes that influence each other in their effects on plant reproductive success. Few studies, however, have so far examined their joint effects in ...
