• Abstract

  Both severe reductions and increases in rainfall can stress plants and modify floral traits involved in plant-pollinator interactions, such as nectar production. Animal pollination is responsible for most plant species' reproduction including several crops that rely especially on bees for fruit and seed production. Thus, extreme climate events can cause disruptions in pollination mutualis…

• Abstract

  Many flowers are fed on by florivores, but we know little about if and how feeding on flowers affects their visual and chemical advertisement and nectar resource, which could disrupt pollination. Here, we investigated if damages caused by florivores compromise a Neotropical hummingbird-pollination system, by modifying the floral advertisements and the nectar resource. We surveyed natural …

• Abstract

  Pollinators play an essential ecological role in maintaining global plant diversity and global agriculture. They use visual and chemical signals emitted by flowers to locate resources; however this communication route can be affected by abiotic factors that modify floral traits. The most recent IPCC report (AR6) indicates many uncertainties about the impacts and challenges that we will fa…
