Polinização e dispersão de sementes em Myrtaceae do Brasil

Abstract: -(Pollination and seed dispersal of Brazilian Myrtaceae). Myrtaceae is one of the most important plant families in Brazilian vegetation, especially forests. Its white, hermaphrodite flowers, with numerous stamens, and the fleshy fruits are exploited by a variety of animal species. This revision aimed to summarize the knowledge of the reproductive ecology of Brazilian Myrtaceae, bringing together information about the pollinators and seed dispersers of a great number of species. Data were compiled from the lite… Show more

“…Com relação à frutificação, ressalta-se que em todos os meses do ano apresentaram-se espécies frutificando, sendo que o pico de fornecimento de frutos ocorre nas estações primavera e verão. Essa plasticidade em relação à presença de frutos nas quatro estações possibilita a funcionalidade do sistema, em contínua interação proporcionada pela fauna, assim como observado por Gressler et al (2006).…”

“…Biotic factors (those intrinsic to the biology of the species) seem to play an important role in the distribution of species along environmental gradients. The pollination of Myrtaceae species, for example, is mainly mediated by bees, whereas seed dispersal is more diversified, the agents including birds, monkeys and smaller mammals (Proença & Gibbs 1994;Gressler et al 2006). Eugenia mosenii, for example, seems to depend heavily on large frugivorous birds to disperse its seeds (Pizo 2002;Gressler et al 2006).…”

Eugenia mosenii, for example, seems to depend heavily on large frugivorous birds to disperse its seeds (Pizo 2002;Gressler et al 2006). Studies on seed dispersal of Myrtaceae in Brazil are still scarce but have proved useful in understanding the patterns of geographic distribution of species (Almeida-Neto et al 2008), underscoring the need for further studies involving the agents of dispersal.…”

“…We believe that this fact may be related to the onset of the flowering phenophase of some widely distributed Myrtaceae species, because pollen from plants of this family is usually intensively collected when available (Absy et al 1984;Marques-Souza et al 1993Ramalho et al 1989Ramalho et al , 2007. Moreover, there are many reports of the pollination of Myrtaceae being attributed to the Meliponini (Gressler et al 2006;Cortopassi-Laurino & Ramalho 1988).…”
