1. Flowering and pollination ecology of Cleistocactus baumannii (Cactaceae) in the Brazilian Chaco: pollinator dependence and floral larceny
ABSTRACT Cleistocactus baumannii is the only ornithophilous cactus species in the Brazilian Chaco. In addition, this species of Cactaceae invests heavily in flowering in the ecoregion. Such characteristics motivated us to evaluate the temporal availability of flowers in the context of its floral visitors. The reproductive system of C. baumannii, the number o

2. Biting the hand that feeds you: wedge-billed hummingbird is a nectar robber of a sicklebill-adapted Andean bellflower
ABSTRACT I report on nectar robbing behavior of the wedge-billed hummingbird, Schistes geoffroyi (Trochilidae) on the Andean bellflower, Centropogon granulosus (Campanulaceae). Many species of Centropogon are characterized by an abruptly curved corolla tube which is likely specialized for pollination by sicklebill hummingbirds (Eutoxeres), as evident from th

3. Floral and reproductive biology of Alcantarea nahoumii (Bromeliaceae), a vulnerable endemic species of the Atlantic Forest
ABSTRACT Alcantarea nahoumii occurs exclusively in the state of Bahia, Brazil, and is classified as vulnerable due to deforestation and frequent fires in the region. Knowledge of floral and reproductive biology is fundamental to understanding ecological interactions, as well as the reproductive success of plant species. The objective of this study was to eva

4. Exploring the role of auxin in the androgynophore movement in Passiflora
The flowers of the species belonging to the genus Passiflorashow a range of features that are thought to have arisen as adaptations to different pollinators. Some Passiflora species belonging to the subgenus Decaloba sect. Xerogona, show touch-sensitive motile androgynophores. We tested the role of auxin polar transport in the modulation of the androgynophor

5. The rate of visitation by Amazilia fimbriata (Apodiformes: Trochilidae) influences seed production in Tillandsia stricta (Bromeliaceae)
Legitimate flowers visitors pollinate the flower during the visit and thus influence the production of fruits and seeds. We tested whether the visitation rate of potential pollinators is associated with the amount of seeds per fruit produced by the self-compatible bromeliad Tillandsia stricta (Bromeliaceae). We determined whether hummingbirds are legitimate

6. Pollination and breeding system of Canna paniculata(Cannaceae) in a montane Atlantic Rainforest: asymmetric dependence on a hermit hummingbird
We studied the pollination biology of Canna paniculata (Cannaceae), a plant species common in the Atlantic Rainforest of southeastern Brazil. The species presents specialized ornithophilous flowers, which in our study area are solely pollinated by the hermit hummingbird Phaethornis eurynome. Although C. paniculata is capable of bearing fruit after self-polli

7. História natural da erva-de-passarinho Psittacanthus robustus (Loranthaceae) em uma área de campo rupestre do sudeste brasileiro : interações com hospedeiras, dispersores, polinizadores e insetos herbívoros / Natural history of the mistletoe Psittacanthus robustus (Loranthaceae) at a rupestrian filed site in southeastern Brazil : interactions with hosts, seed dispersers, pollinators and insect herbivores
In this study I investigated some aspects of the natural history of the woody mistletoe Psittacanthus robustus Mart. (Loranthaceae) in rocky outcrops in the Serra do Cipó, southeastern Brazil. This species was recorded parasitizing eight host species in Five families, although trees within Vochysiaceae comprise the main hosts. Pattern of distribution was cl

8. Beija-flores (Aves: Trochilidae) e seus recursos florais em uma área de caatinga da Chapada Diamantina, Bahia, Brasil
This study investigated the species of hummingbird occurring in an area of caatinga vegetation, examining their seasonal activities, the assemblages of plants that they used, as well as the floral characteristics and flowering phenology of that vegetation. These surveys were performed in an area of arboreal caatinga in Chapada Diamantina, municipality of Muc

9. Distribuição e disponibilidade de recursos florais e estratégias de forrageamento na interação entre beija-flores e Palicourea rígida (Rubiaceae)
Some pollination mechanisms represent mutualistics interactions, in which the plants offer nectar and pollen and the pollinators carry the pollen grains. The hummingbirds are the more specialized pollinators among the birds, and their high energetic cost to fly, force them to develop feeding strategies to obtain the highest energetic gains with the lowest co

10. Ecologia reprodutiva de Dyckia encholirioides var. encholirioides (GAUD) Mez. (Bromeliaceae) em costões oceânicos em Florianópolis, Santa Catarina
The aim of this study was to describe and characterize the reproductive ecology of Dyckia encholirioides var. (Gaud) Mez. encholirioides, in Florianópolis, SC. The flowering occurs from the end of the winter until spring. The duration of the flowering in a single individual averaged 23 days. The anthesis of the flowers occurred along the day and presented a

11. Fenologia de floração e polinização de espécies ornitófilas na Serra da Bodoquena, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil
Hummingbirds are the major group of vertebrate pollinators in the neotropical region and, at these sites, plants pollinated by these birds can account for 2-15% of angiosperm species. The goals of this study were: (i) to analyze the flowering phenology and pollination of ornitophilous species in two environments (forest gallery and Semi-deciduous forest) of

12. Densidade de recursos florais em múltiplas escalas espaciais: conseqüências para a interação planta-polinizador e demografia de Abutilon rufinerve (Malvaceae) / Floral resource availability in multiple hierarchical spatial scales and its consequences to plant-pollinator interaction and demography of Abutilon rufinerve (Malvaceae)
Heterogeneity is a remarkable characteristic of biological systems. This thesis is about the influence of heterogeneity on plant-pollinator interaction and on demography of a tropical treelet Abutilon rufinerve. With an approach of hierarchical scales of patch structure we: 1. characterized the spatio-temporal variation on the availability of floral resource
