Abstract: We studied the pollination biology of Canna paniculata (Cannaceae), a plant species common in the Atlantic Rainforest of southeastern Brazil. The species presents specialized ornithophilous flowers, which in our study area are solely pollinated by the hermit hummingbird Phaethornis eurynome. Although C. paniculata is capable of bearing fruit after self-pollination, it requires pollinators for reproduction. We discuss the importance of hermit hummingbirds for the reproduction of specialized ornithophilous plant… Show more

“…The low frequency of legitimate visits recorded at Picinguaba is even more striking when compared to the Santa Virgínia field station, where P. ruber is absent and nectar robbers are very infrequent (Maruyama et al 2015). Using exactly the same sampling procedure, we observed 84 legitimate visits by the Scale-throated Hermit, Phaethornis eurynome at the Santa Virgínia field station (Maruyama et al 2015), compared to only four legitimate visits observed at Picinguaba. Hummingbirds use several cues to avoid less rewarding robbed flowers (Irwin 2000), and the almost complete depletion of nectar by P. ruber combined with the high availability of other flower resources in Picinguaba (Fig.…”

“…At Picinguaba, P. ruber almost completely depleted the nectar of C. paniculata, which most likely explains the few legitimate visits to these flowers (McDade and Kinsman 1980;Justino et al 2011). The low frequency of legitimate visits recorded at Picinguaba is even more striking when compared to the Santa Virgínia field station, where P. ruber is absent and nectar robbers are very infrequent (Maruyama et al 2015). Using exactly the same sampling procedure, we observed 84 legitimate visits by the Scale-throated Hermit, Phaethornis eurynome at the Santa Virgínia field station (Maruyama et al 2015), compared to only four legitimate visits observed at Picinguaba.…”
