Cactaceae has many vertebrate-pollinated species, and in the subtribe Cereinae, several
genera are indicated as being pollinated by bats. In this subtribe, we observed phenotypic …

We analysed scientific production related to melissopalynology in Brazil and surveyed the
pollen types described in publications, producing a melissopalynological database. We …

The demand for insect-pollinated crops is increasing. Conventional agricultural
intensification heavily relies on increased input of fertilizers, which can have negative effects …

Hybrid systems represent 'new ecological opportunities', as the changes in their vegetative
and reproductive traits may facilitate colonization of new niches. The Cactaceae species …

The present work aimed to study floral biology, pollination requirements and the behavior of
floral visitors in two species of pitaya, Hylocereus undatus and H. polyrhizus, in Northeastern …

Mangroves are unique ecosystems supported by very small plant assemblages. Those few
plants tend to be insect-pollinated and make generalized interactions, which leads to …

Urbanization is one of the most intense forms of landscape change, and it is likely to
increase in the coming years. Although there is a consensus that urbanization has drastic …

Um levantamento dos estudos melissopalinológicos realizados no Rio Grande do Sul é
aqui apresentado. O intuito é contribuir para o conhecimento nessa área e identificar as …

Pollen dispersal in tropical seed plants is established mainly by biotic vectors, both in intact
and fragmented environments. In urban landscapes, the segregation of natural remnants by …

Usually considered anemophilous, grasses (Poaceae) have been the subject of few studies
that recorded insects visiting their flowers. Such visitors, with wind, could act as pollen …
