“…124 genera and around 1500 species distributed almost exclusively within the American Continent, with major centres of diversity in the arid regions of Mexico, central Andes (Argentina and Bolívia) and Eastern Brazil (Barthlott & Hunt 1993;Hunt et al 2006;Taylor & Zappi 2004). Floral characters, such as colour, size, position of reproductive structures and time of anthesis are very diverse, and the species present a large array of pollination syndromes (see Faegri & Van der Pijl 1979) and several groups of invertebrates and vertebrates have been observed as visitors and pollinators, such as bees Mandujano et al;, beetles (Grant & Connell 1979), hawkmoths (Silva & Sazima 1995;Locatelli & Machado 1999a), birds and bats (Alcorn et al 1961, McGregor et al 1962Locatelli & Machado 1999b;Aona et al 2006;Rocha et al 2007).…”

“…Several studies of columnar cacti pollinated by bats have been published (McGregor et al 1962;Fleming et al 1994;Petit 1995;Valiente-Banuet et al 1996;Rocha et al 2007), and it is possible that this pollination syndrome will prove to be frequent, if not the most common one, within tribes Pachycereeae and Cereeae. Recent studies have increased the list of bat-pollinated cacti in the Neotropics, such as Pachycereus pringlei (Fleming et al 1994), Neobuxbaumia mezcalaensis, Neobuxbaumia macrocephala (Valiente-Banuet et al 1997), Stenocereus griseus, Pilosocereus moritzianus, Pilosocereus lanuginosus, Cereus [Subpilocereus] horrispinus (Nassar et al 1997), Pilosocereus catingicola (Locatelli et al 1997), and Pilosocereus tuberculatus (Rocha et al 2007).…”

“…A taxa de frutificação em condições naturais (55%) foi menor que a registrada para outras cactáceas (Locatelli & Machado 1999a,b;Colaço et al 2006;Rocha et al 2007), sendo o comportamento predatório de Trigona spinipes (veja o tópico visitantes florais), um dos fatores que podem ter influenciado negativamente no sucesso reprodutivo. A ausência de frutos nos experimentos de autopolinização espontânea e manual indica que Arrojadoa rhodantha é alógama e, neste caso, os beija-flores seriam fundamentais para o sucesso reprodutivo dessa cactácea na área de estudo.…”

“…Na literatura (Locatelli & Machado 1999a,b;Rocha et al 2007), é descrita uma diversidade de sistemas de polinização, apontando uma gama de animais como polinizadores. Porsch (1939) estabeleceu cinco biotipos florais para a família, adotando aspectos relacionados ao horá-rio da antese, à morfologia floral e aos visitantes observados (besouros, abelhas, aves, mariposas e morcegos).…”

“…Os cactos constituem um grupo de recursos muito importantes para a fauna local (Rocha e Agra 2002, Rocha et al 2007, Meiado et al 2015b, porém, o manejo e a análise de sementes da maioria das espécies de plantas nativas do Nordeste ainda é insuficiente (Lima et al 2006, Meiado et al 2012.…”
