Resumo Os visitantes florais são animais que buscam, nas flores, recursos para si ou sua prole. Às vezes uma mesma planta pode receber um espectro grande de visitantes, como é o caso espécies cujas flores oferecem muito néctar. Porém, nem todo visitante floral realiza a polinização. Para ser polinizador efetivo necessário cumprir alguns requisitos, como: contato com antera e estigma, frequência visita suficiente, fidelidade realização rota adequada visitação. Em muitos trabalhos sobre...
The foraging success of a bee species is limited to an environmental window, combination optimal ambient temperatures and resource availability. Mismatches between flowering temperature may lead reduction colony's food intake and, eventually, brood production. In the present study, we evaluated pollen activity two native Brazilian meliponine Melipona quadrifasciata M. subnitida at campus University Sao Paulo Ribeirao Preto (March, 2010 – January, 2011). Whereas naturally occurs in study...
Floral scent is an important component of the trait repertoire flowering plants, which used to attract and manipulate pollinators. Despite advances during last decades about chemicals released by flowers, there still a large gap in our understanding chemical communication between plants their We analyzed floral scents guarana (Paullinia cupana, Sapindaceae), economically plant Amazon, using analytical approaches, determined attractiveness its nocturnal bee pollinators behavioral assays...
Abstract Orchid bee species are important pollinators in the Neotropics. While male orchid bees known to have a close interaction with odor-rewarding flowers, females often pollen generalists. In current study, we investigated differences diet diversity of various vegetation types and across sites varying levels forest cover by means an analysis frass pellets bee, Euglossa cordata (Linnaeus, 1758), multiple based on literature review. The grains found inner part brood cells were used assess...
In spite of playing an important ecological role as pollinators tropical ecosystems, orchid bees are still poorly known regarding their floral resources. Aiming at a better comprehension the importance different plants visited by Euglossini and, consequently, in maintenance and reproduction plant species this study aimed identifying flowers those two areas Atlantic Forest northern coast state São Paulo, Brazil. Sampling was carried out from August 2007 to July 2009 coastal ecosystems...
The floral sources used by bees can be identified analyzing pollen grains obtained from their bodies, feces, brood cells, or storage pots in the nests. In addition to data on resource availability, this information enables investigation selection of food bees. We assessed foraging patterns Scaptotrigona aff. depilis an urbanized area with seasonal availability resources. species visited a percentage 36.60% available flora, suggesting that these are selective at spatiotemporal scale. When...
Cities provide resources for animal species that live within them or inhabit their surroundings. This has motivated an increase in ecological studies of urban areas, including the interactions between plants and pollinators. From March 2010 to February 2011, flowering present study area, located at Universidade de São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto, were sampled evaluate how floral sources distributed throughout year. Concurrently, worker bees with pollen loads collected from four colonies...
Alguns fatores podem influenciar a distribuição dos recursos florais e sistemas de polinização bióticos nos ecossistemas, como por exemplo, o clima, altitude, região geográfica, fragmentação áreas naturais as diferenças na composição florística estratificação vertical. Este estudo teve objetivo avaliar vertical em fragmentos cerrado sentido restrito no Triângulo Mineiro. Não houve diferença significativa (χ²0,05,9 =14,17; p = 0,12) riqueza geral entre os fragmentos, nem quando comparada...
Tecoma stans (L.) Kunth is an exotic plant in Brazil, commonly distributed urban areas, which considered invasive species crop and pasture areas. In this study, the floral biology behavior of bees flowers T. from three areas southeastern Brazil were investigated. all study sites, was important food resource to Apoidea 48 bees. Centris tarsata Smith Exomalopsis fulvofasciata (Hymenoptera: Apidae) effective pollinators more abundant, while Scaptotrigona depilis Moure frequent robber species....
