2. Aspects of the reproductive biology of Zingiber spectabile (Zingiberaceae)
ABSTRACT Ginger (Zingiber spectabile) is cultivated worldwide as a floriculture and landscaping species. Studies on the biology and floral morphology of this species are important for its improvement; however, they are scarce. We investigated the reproductive biology and floral morphology of gingers grown in a germplasm bank. Floral development was monitored

3. Assembleia de beija-flores (Aves: Trochilidae) utilizando recursos da árvore exótica tulipa africana, Spathodea campanulata (Bignoniaceae) em um ambiente Neotropical alterado, sudeste do Brasil
Resumo A tulipa africana, Spathodea campanulata (P. Beauv), é uma árvore não nativa amplamente distribuída em ambientes Neotropicais alterados, onde os beija-flores são importantes polinizadores. Investigamos a assembleia de beija-flores que se alimentam do néctar e descrevemos seus comportamentos para compreender possíveis influências da árvore ex�

4. Ácaros Foréticos (Rhinoseius spp.) em Apodiformes dos Biomas Cerrado e Pantanal no Centro-Oeste do Brasil
Resumo Os ácaros nasais são comumente encontrados em beija-flores (Apodiformes). Na maioria dos casos, os ácaros foram relatados como endoparasitas, parasitando o sistema respiratório, particularmente as câmaras nasais anteriores, a laringe, a traqueia, os pulmões e os sacos aéreos e conjuntivais. No entanto, alguns ácaros são transportados apenas p

5. A Simple Approach to Analyze Sugar Nectar Composition in Flowers Using Capillary Electrophoresis and Enzymatic Assays
Despite the obvious importance of nectar, the composition of this solution remains surprisingly understudied to most of the flowers. Here we describe a simple, low-cost, and reliable methodology to analyze the three main sugars present in 210 nectar samples of Christmas Bellflowers using capillary electrophoresis (CE) and enzymatic assays. CE separation (-16

6. Honey sample collection methods influence pollen composition in determining true nectar-foraging bee plants
ABSTRACT This study investigated the suitability of honey sample collection methods for determining the botanical origin of honey through palynological analysis. We used three methods to collect honey samples in three different modes viz. extracted honey using a honey extractor, squeezed honey and pipetted honey (collected by micropipette/dropper from honey

7. Analytical study of the physicochemical characteristics from Melipona subnitida D. honey in adequation to Brazilian law
Abstract Honey has different physical and chemical properties because it is produced from the nectar of plants. The present work had the objective of analyzing laboratory tests on honey bee Melipona subnitida D. from Ceará, in comparing them with other honeys from the Northeast Region, making it possible to know better the standards of these honeys, in orde

8. 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

9. Pollination biology of the endangered columnar cactus Cipocereus crassisepalus: a case of close relationship between plant and pollinator
ABSTRACT The family Cactaceae possesses considerable floral diversity and is exclusively zoophilic. Cipocereus crassisepalus is an endangered species of columnar cactus, whose floral characteristics fit the chiropterophily syndrome. This study aimed to assess the correspondence between floral traits and pollinators and whether the pollination system of C. cr

10. ORIGEM PALINOLÓGICA, CONTEÚDO FENÓLICO E PROPRIEDADES ANTIOXIDANTES DE GEOPROPOLIS COLETADAS POR MANDAÇAIA (MELIPONA MANDACAIA) STINGLESS
RESUMO A abelha sem ferrão Melipona mandacaia (Smith 1863) (mandaçaia) é encontrada apenas na região da Caatinga, Nordeste do Brasil, nos estados da Bahia e Pernambuco, próximo ao rio São Francisco. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi determinar a origem botânica e avaliar o conteúdo fenólico e as propriedades antioxidantes (sistema β-caroteno / á

11. A new oligolectic bee species of the genus Rhophitulus Ducke (Hymenoptera, Andrenidae) from South Brazil
ABSTRACT The genus RhophitulusDucke, 1907 is a large and complex group of bees of the tribe Protandrenini comprising small, slender, mostly black ground-nesting species that are restricted to South America. We describe a new species of Rhophitulus from Parque Nacional São Joaquim, Urubici, state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. Rophitulus ater sp. nov. is distinc

12. Floral Diversity in Different Types of Honey
Abstract Many different types of honey are available in the Brazilian market. They vary in color, flavor, smell, thereby increasing interest in honey characterization relating to botanical origin. A total of 155 honey samples belonging to Brazilian flora were examined on the pollen analysis; sampling is made in a span of one year. The preparation followed me
