Bat pollination is one of the most recent pollination systems to have been discovered. While
recent studies have provided novel insight into bat-flower interactions, there are gaps in …

Fifty years have passed since the first descriptions of the “floral oil syndrome” by Stefan
Vogel. Over those past decades, substantial knowledge was obtained mainly on the …

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Analyses of the influence of temporal variation in abiotic factors
on flowering phenology of tropical dry forest species have not considered the possible …

Based on the conceptual framework of pollination syndromes, pollination networks should
be composed of well‐delimited subgroups formed by plants that diverge in floral phenotypes …

In hot climates, foraging bees risk overheating during food collection. Here, we investigated
influence of ambient temperature on the foraging activity in Melipona subnitida, a stingless …

Nearly half of all terrestrial tropical ecosystems around the globe comprise dry forests,
characterised through elevated temperatures all year round, and short rainy seasons at …

Seasonal variation in precipitation regimes influences species composition and plant–
animal interactions. Such temporal variation is especially relevant in the Brazilian Caatinga …

Interactions between plants and animals are extremely diverse and operate as both
evolutionary and ecological forces for angiosperms, insects, and many groups of …

Although the herbaceous plants concentrate the diversity of vascular plants in the largest dry
forest of South America, the Brazilian Caatinga, their responses to environmental …

Cereus jamacaru is a cactus distributed in Northeastern Brazil, with high symbolic value to
this region. However, the interaction, behavior and the role of pollinators remains poorly …
