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...
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...
1. The reproduction of specialised endophagous insects relies on a fine temporal synchronization between the insect and its host plant phenology. 2. Since spatial distribution local prevalence depend both environmental conditions biotic interactions, in this study, we assessed whether life cycle predispersal seed feeding weevil, Hemicolpus abdominalis (Curculionidae), is synchronised with reproductive phenology plant, Tocoyena formosa (Rubiaceae) Brazilian Cerrado. Following an ecological...
