Automatic acoustic recognition of pollinating bee species can be highly improved by deep learning models accompanied by pre-training and strong data augmentation
Siqueira Ferreira, Alef Iury; Felipe da Silva, Nádia Felix; Neiva Mesquita, Fernanda; Couto Rosa, Thierson; Monzón-Godoy, Víctor; Mesquita-Neto, José N. (2023)Introduction: Bees capable of performing floral sonication (or buzz-pollination) are among the most effective pollinators of blueberries. However, the quality of pollination provided varies greatly among species visiting ...

Avocado crops as a floral resource for native bees of Chile
Monzón-Godoy, Víctor; Avendaño, Patricio; Araujo-Oliveira, Rodrigo; Garrido, Rubén; Mesquita-Neto, José N. (2020)Background: Chile is the second largest avocado producer in the world. However, there have been few studies on interactions between native bees and avocado pollination in a Chilean environment. The flowering period of ...

Comment on “No wild bees? Don't worry! Non-bee flower visitors are still hard at work: The edge effect, landscape, and local characteristics determine taxonomic and functional diversity in apple orchards” [Agric. Ecosyst. Environ. 345 (2023) 108554]"
Mesquita-Neto, José N.; Monzón-Godoy, Víctor; Araujo, Rodrigo de O; Pinheiro-Costa, Bruna K.; Cortés- Rivas, Benito; Pérez-Giraldo, Laura C.; Escanilla-Jaramillo, Catalina; Rodríguez, Sharon (2024)The study by Barahona-Segovia et al. (2023) examines the influence of edge effect, landscape composition, and local characteristics on non-bee flower visitors in apple orchards. While their article improves our understanding ...

Discovering new floral visitors of four Chilean endemic orchids
Monzón-Godoy, Víctor; Araujo-Oliveira, Rodrigo; Avendaño, Patricio; Garrido, Rubén; Mesquita-Neto, José N. (2019)Orchidaceae es un grupo diverso, amenazado en todo el mundo. Debido a su situación de peligro, el conocimiento sobre su biología reproductiva es necesario para planificar estrategias de conservación. Hemos realizado un ...

Importance of biotic pollination varies across common bean cultivars
Franceschinelli, Edivani V.; Ribeiro, Paula L. M.; Mesquita-Neto, José N.; Bergamini, Leonardo L.; Madureira de Assis, Igor; Elias, Marcos A. S.; Fernandes, Paulo M.; Carvalheiro, Luísa G. (2022)Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) flowers are morphologically adapted to biotic pollination, although it is partially autogamous. We evaluated the effect of pollinator visits on pod and seed production of 14 local creole ...

Minimum size threshold of visiting bees of a buzz-pollinated plant species: consequences for pollination efficiency
Mesquita-Neto, José N.; Vieira, Ana Luisa C.; Schlindwein, Clemens (2021)Premise: Flowering plants with poricidal anthers are commonly visited by buzzing bees, which vibrate flowers to extract pollen. However, not all flower visitors are in fact pollinators, and features such as body size and ...

Native bee fauna of tomato crops: a comparison of active sampling and pan trapping methods
Franceschinelli, Edivani V.; Bergamini, Leonardo L.; Silva-Neto, Carlos M.; Elias, Marcos A. S.; Moreira, Giselle L.; Morais, Joicy M.; Mesquita-Neto, José N. (2019)The tomato is widely cultivated throughout the world and requires pollination by wild or managed bees to realize its full-potential fruit production. Two different sampling methods (pan trapping and active sampling) were ...

Nectar secretion of floral buds of tococa guianensis mediates interactions with generalist ants that reduce florivory
Mesquita-Neto, José N.; Sousa-Paiva, Elder A.; Galetto, Leonardo; Schlindwein, Clemens (2020)The specialised mutualism between Tococa guianensis and ants housed in its leaf domatia is a well-known example of myrmecophily. A pollination study on this species revealed that flowers in the bud stage exude a sugary ...

Pollen flow and pollinator sharing among synchronopatric species of Psychotria (Rubiaceae)
Mesquita-Neto, José N.; Borges, João P. R.; Sá, Túlio F. F. de; Oliveira Teixeira, Tamara P. de; Ferreira, Indiara N. M.; Furtado, Marco T. R.; Consolaro, Hélder; Franceschinelli, Edivani V. (2018)Sympatric plant species that flower at the same time in highly seasonal environments are subject to competitive interference. Many species of the genus Psychotria (Rubiaceae) are sympatric and have an aggregated flowering ...

Pollination by native bees achieves high fruit quantity and quality of highbush blueberry: a sustainable alternative to managed pollinators
Cortés-Rivas, Benito; Monzón-Godoy, Víctor; Ordones Rego, Juliana; Mesquita-Neto, José N. (2023)Introduction: Blueberry is one of the most relevant buzz-pollinated crops worldwide, and Chile is the most important global producer of fresh blueberries during wintertime in the Northern Hemisphere. Non-buzzing bees, ...

Trade off between quantity and size of pollen grains in the heterandrous flowers of Senna pendula (Fabaceae)
Pinheiro-Costa, Bruna K.; Mesquita-Neto, José N.; Ordones Rego, Juliana; Schlindwein, Clemens (2018)Heteranthery, the presence of different types of stamens in a flower, may reduce the conflict between pollinators and plants by ensuring the resource for the pollinator without drastically affecting the availability of ...
