Summary The diversity of plant–pollinator interactions is grounded in floral resources, with nectar considered one the main rewards plants produce for pollinators. However, a global evaluation number animal‐pollinated nectar‐producing angiosperms and their distribution world‐wide remains elusive. We compiled thorough database encompassing 7621 plant species from 322 families to estimate proportion reliant on animal pollination. Through extensive sampling communities, we also explored...
Urbanization has reshaped the distribution of biodiversity on Earth, but we are only beginning to understand its effects ecological communities. While urbanization may have homogenization strong enough blur large-scale patterns in interaction networks, urban community still be associated with climate gradients reflecting biogeographical processes. Using 103 hummingbird-plant mutualistic networks across continental Americas, including 176 hummingbird and 1,180 plant species, asked how affects...

Abstract Nectar is the most common floral resource that mediates plant–pollinator interactions, and its spatiotemporal distribution related to pollinator attraction can influence activity through time. Therefore, assessing patterns of phenology nectar‐producing plants help better understand assemblage's temporal dynamics. We used an area afforested Brazilian Cerrado covered with a high‐density plantation Inga vera , mass‐flowering tree, investigate whether intra‐seasonal daily variations in...
Abstract Plant–animal interactions are pervasive in terrestrial ecosystems. They hold relevant ecological information for guiding biodiversity conservation and restoration practices. Despite plant–animal being particularly sensitive to disturbance, the knowledge about how fire, a remarkable driver of changes ecosystem structure functioning, affects these relationships is still limited. In this sense, assessment studies investigate fire effects on through systematic review proves be guide...
1. Plant–animal mutualisms are key processes that influence community structure, dynamics, and function. They reflect several neutral niche‐based mechanisms related to plant–animal interactions. 2. However, the strength with which these structure depends on functional traits interactions between mutualistic partners. In involving plants ants, nectar is most common reward, such as quantity quality can affect ant species' responses by influencing their recruitment rates aggressiveness. 3. this...
Tropical forest restoration is needed to mitigate the negative consequences of anthropogenic disturbances and climate change. One main limitations for establishment tropical forests competition with invasive species decreasing survival growth native trees. Invasion management should affect soil microorganisms, which play essential roles in nutrient cycling, plant nutrition on ecosystem functioning. Although chemical nonchemical methods are applied worldwide herbaceous invasion management,...
Keystone plant species are commonly used for restoring degraded terrestrial sites because, despite being encountered in low abundances natural communities, they interact with multiple across niche dimensions. Nevertheless, the demographic characteristics of these “great interactors” often disregarded restoration planning, which may bring unintended consequences trajectories once outcome relationships interplays between positive and negative effects depending on density interacting species....
Resumo As interações planta‐animal são ubíquas nos ecossistemas terrestres. Elas contêm informações ecológicas relevantes para orientar a conservação da biodiversidade e as práticas de restauração. Embora sejam particularmente sensíveis distúrbios, o conhecimento sobre como fogo, um impulsionador significativo mudanças na estrutura no funcionamento do ecossistema, afeta essas relações ainda é limitado. Nesse sentido, avaliação os estudos investigam efeitos fogo por meio uma revisão...

We investigated whether highly available organic residues in Brazil can be used as substrates for the production of oyster mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus, instead conventional cultivation using eucalyptus sawdust substrate. assessed yield on 13 substrates, which 12 were formulated with different concentrations and one pure sawdust, verified raw material substrate formula concentration such alternative influenced their biological efficiencies. Substrates containing bark resulted higher than...
