| flowering phenology and pollination of ornithophilous species in two habitats of serra da bodoquena, mato grosso do sul, brazil. | the aim of this study is to describe interactions between hummingbirds and ornithophilous species at serra da bodoquena in midwest brazil, with focus on flowering phenology and pollination of these plant species. in two habitats, gallery forest and semi-deciduous forest, data on flowering phenology of ornithophilous species were collected monthly over 14 months. in addition, data on morphology and floral biology, as well as visitor frequency and hummingbird behavior, were recorded. the studied c ... | 2010 | 21152758 |
| the hummingbird community and their floral resources in an urban forest remnant in brazil. | the temporal and spatial resource use among hummingbirds was studied over 13 months in an urban forest remnant (prosa state park: psp) in campo grande, mato grosso do sul, brazil. hummingbird visitation was recorded at three ornithophilous and eleven non-ornithophilous species. flower density was roughly constant during the study period, with the density of non-ornithophilous flowers being higher than that of ornithophilous ones. mean values of nectar volume and concentration were similar betwee ... | 2011 | 21881784 |
