• Abstract

  The cerrado is a mega-diverse seasonal tropical vegetation, considered a biodiversity conservation hotspot. Plant communities are structured according to their reproductive strategies, by interacting with local floral visitors and depending on climatic conditions. Climate change is altering flowering patterns in temperate vegetations, affecting interactions and causing ripple effects on p…

• Abstract

  Angiosperms has high diversity and richness of plant species, being the pollination by biotic vectors the main process for the sexual reproduction. To attract floral visitors, plant species need to adapt their morphological traits to the cognitive system of pollinators. Most of flower visitors uses vision to forage and the flower colour is an important signal to attract pollen vectors tha…

• Abstract

  Diabetes mellitus is a heterogeneous clinical syndrome caused by lack of insulin production by pancreatic beta cells or by defective insulin receptors on target cells, resulting in hyperglycemic metabolic disease. When associated with pregnancy, diabetes causes maternal and fetal complications, maternal hyperglycemia stimulates fetal growth (macrosomia), all due to the greater availabilit…

• Abstract

  Flower color is an important trait mediating plant-pollinator interactions. Since the visual system differs among floral visitors, floral signals of attraction need to be adjusted to pollinators' cognitive system. In addition, some environmental conditions, for example, different vegetation structure, light conditions and seasonal climates, can interfere in the flower contrast against the…
