Large clades of angiosperms are often characterized by diverse interactions with pollinators, but how these pollination systems structured phylogenetically and biogeographically is still uncertain for most families. Apocynaceae a clade >5300 species worldwide distribution. A database representing >10 % in the family was used to explore diversity pollinators evolutionary shifts across major regions. The compiled from published unpublished reports. Plants were categorized into broad then...
Mutualistic interactions are powerful drivers of biodiversity on Earth that can be represented as complex interaction networks vary in connection pattern and intensity. One the most fascinating mutualisms is between hummingbirds plants they visit. We conducted an exhaustive search for articles, theses, reports, personal communications with researchers (unpublished data) documenting hummingbird visits to flowers nectar-rewarding plants. Based information gathered from 4532 292 species 1287...
Abstract Coexistence between ecologically similar species can promote competition for resources. Hummingbirds (Aves: Trochilidae ) are nectarivorous birds that usually coexist in sympatry, and visit flowers using different foraging behaviors levels of aggressiveness as a strategy to diminish resource competition. Here, we describe the dynamics territorial dominance hummingbird community inhabiting highland during winter Western Mexico. We explored natural conditions how strategies status...
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...
Hummingbirds represent an avian family restricted to the Americas that feeds mainly on nectar obtained from ornithophilous plants. In North America (Mexico-USA-Canada), 58 species have been reported out of 330 total hummingbird species, all them occurring in Mexico. this work we analyzed distribution hummingbirds relation coverage natural protected area system Mexico using a complementarity analysis assess minimum set areas needed protect species. We focused our search biosphere reserves, as...
Agroforestry systems, such as shade coffee plantations, favor the maintenance of woody vegetation, which promotes presence pollinators hummingbirds. Many plantations in Mesoamerica have been abandoned due to fall prices and undergone succession processes that increase vegetation complexity. Alternatively, they replaced by cattle pastures, negatively affect hummingbird-plant interactions. Here, we describe structure interaction networks three types land use―late-successional forests,...
Land use change is a key catalyst of global biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation. Deforestation conversion natural habitats to agricultural or urban areas can profoundly disrupt plant-flower visitor interactions by altering their abundances distribution. Yet, specific studies analyzing the effects land on structure networks between particular groups flower visitors plants are still scarce. Here, we aimed analyze how converting native affects species composition butterfly communities...
