The diversity of plant-pollinator relationships is crucial in terrestrial ecosystems. Despite the
extensive literature on pollination, research is still skewed towards temperate regions …

Successful pollination in animal‐pollinated plants depends on the temporal overlap
between flower presentation and pollinator foraging activity. Variation in the temporal …

In flowers with poricidal anthers, pollen is not freely accessible and legitimate access is
restricted to bees capable of vibrating the anthers. Despite the protection of pollen provided …

The evolution of keel flowers within Fabaceae, Polygalaceae and some other clades of
angiosperms is attributed to skilled and strong bees. However, whether this is true or not, is …

Possession of flowers that trap fly pollinators is a conservative trait within the genus
Ceropegia, in which pollination systems can be generalized or highly specialized. However …

Competition is an important biological filter that can define crucial features of species'
natural history, like survival and reproduction success. We evaluated in the Brazilian tropical …

Pollinators can mediate facilitative or competitive relationships between plant species, but
the relative importance of these two conflicting phenomena in shaping community‐wide …

While some studies have shown that ants that visit extrafloral nectaries may defend their
host plants against potential herbivores, recent researches have shown that such ant-plant …

A taxonomic treatment is herein provided for the six primarily Neotropical species of Vigna
subg. Lasiospron. This subgenus is distinguished, in part, by its close relationship with Old …

The present study evaluates and compares the phenology, pollination biology and breeding
systems of Chamaecrista desvauxii (Collad.) Killip. and Clitoria laurifolia Poir. in a coastal …
