    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 ...

  • 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 ...
