Abstract: To describe plant phenological patterns and correlate functioning for the quantity and quality of resources available for the pollinator, it is crucial to understand the temporal dynamics of biological communities. In this way, the pollination syndromes of 46 species with different growth habits (trees, shrubs, herbs, and vines) were examined in an area of Caatinga vegetation, northeastern Brazil (7° 28' 45″ S and 36° 54' 18″ W), during two years. Flowering was monitored monthly in all the species, over two ye… Show more

“…We reported certain species whose syndromes were not good predictors of pollinator attraction and visitation. The species Bauhinia cheilantha , classified as chiropterophilous (Quirino & Machado, 2014), has a potential mixed‐pollination system as it interacted with bats and hawkmoths with similar intensities. The same occurs for the hypergeneralist Pilosocereus gounellei , whose syndrome is a contentious subject as different authors have reported different pollinator activity.…”

“…Pilosocereus gounellei , specifically, seems to act as a keystone species for nocturnal communities of floral visitors in the Caatinga. Its year‐round flowering phase (Quirino & Machado, 2014), and consequently the overlap with the phenophases of both pollinator groups, may have also been a key factor in homogenizing its interaction frequencies among guilds.…”

“…Due to their high energy requirements, bats and hummingbirds need to visit several flowers, and, therefore, can show mixed pollen load ( Murcia and Feinsinger 1996 ; Muchhala and Jarrin-V 2002 ). During part of the flowering season of Ipomoea taxa, other chiropterophilous and ornithophilous plants were also in blossom ( Quirino and Machado 2014 ). Those plants deposit pollen on the same sites of the pollinator's bodies where both Ipomoea did.…”

“…The Caatinga is a mosaic of different forest types, characterized by trees and shrubs adapted to the periodic drought, such as deciduous species and succulent plants (Prado 2003;Moro et al 2014). Blooming of the vast majority of trees, shrubs and herbaceous species, occurs during the very short, irregular, and unpredictable rainy season (Reis et al 2006;Santos et al 2013;Quirino and Machado 2014). Thus, the foraging activity of flower visitors, which depend to a high degree on floral resources, is tightly synchronized to the annual flowering cycle of plants (Zanella & Martins 2003;Maia-Silva et al 2015;Maia-Silva et al 2018).…”
