    Abstract Croton has ca. 1200 species and a pantropical distribution, representing the second largest genus in Euphorbiaceae. In this work, we aim to characterize morphologically the pollen grains of 105 species of Croton, besides other representatives of tribe Crotoneae, to provide palynological data sustaining its current delimitation and classification and understand how pollen grains evolved in the tribe. Floral buds were obtained from specimens and then acetolyzed, measured and described under light and scanning electronic microscopy. Pollen grains analyzed are medium to large, spherical, apolar, inaperturate and have the sexine thicker than the nexine. The Croton pattern is composed of pila or spine as ornamentation subunits, whose surface may be psilate, plicate or striate. Data on type, disposition, and distribution of sexine elements in the lumen of the rosettes are important to distinguish species. The spine Croton pattern has a single origin in Croton and is derived from the pilum type. Our study corroborates the stenopalynous status of Crotoneae since palynological features are highly conserved in the tribe. On the other hand, we point to the potential of the configuration of ornamentation units associated with the diameter of pollen grains to understand pollen evolution in the tribe.

    Abstract The pollen contents of honeys from 22 different municipalities of the Brazilian state of Sergipe were analysed. A total of 90 pollen types distributed in 32 plant families were identified. Fabaceae had the highest representation in number of pollen types (29 types), followed by Asteraceae (eight types), Rubiaceae (seven types), Anacardiaceae and Malvaceae (four each) and Euphorbiaceae and Myrtaceae (three each). The presence of dominant pollen was detected in 14 samples, with the dominant types Mimosa pudica in five samples, Alternanthera in two samples, Angelonia , Cocos nucifera , Mimosa arenosa , Mimosa tenuiflora , Myrcia , Prosopis juliflora , Protium and Schinus in one sample each. Eleven pollen types were recorded as accessory pollen: Borreria verticillata , Mimosa pudica , Tapira in three samples, Mitracarpus hirtus in two samples, Angelonia , Baccharis , Cocos nucifera , Melastomataceae, Protium , Salvia and Senna macranthera in one sample each. Pollen types from the genus Mimosa were prominent in the samples indicating the important contribution of species with palynological affinities with the pollen types found in this genus in the apicultural production of the region. Pollen types from species endemic to the Caatinga were found in the pollen spectrum for Sergipe: Mimosa adenophylla , Mimosa ophthalmocentrica , Mimosa setuligera and Mimosa xiquexiquensis from Fabaceae, and Ziziphus joazeiro from Rhaminaceae.

    Abstract Eremitis, Pariana, and Parianella are herbaceous bamboos (tribe Olyreae) included in the subtribe Parianinae, which is characterized by the presence of fimbriae at the apex of the leaf sheaths and exclusively spiciform synflorescences. We analyzed 43 samples of herbaceous and woody bamboos in order to infer relationships within the Parianinae, based on combined data from the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and plastid DNA (rpl32-trnL and trnD-trnT spacers). Bayesian inference, maximum likelihood, and maximum parsimony methods were applied, and macro- and micromorphological aspects were also analyzed, including the ectexine patterns of pollen grains. Parianinae is represented by three well-supported lineages in our analyses: (1) Parianella, endemic to southern Bahia, Brazil; (2) Pariana sensu stricto with a broad distribution in southern Central America and northern South America, especially in the Amazon region; and (3) Eremitis, endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, from the states of Pernambuco to Rio de Janeiro, including one species previously described as a member of Pariana. Our molecular phylogeny showed that Pariana, as historically circumscribed, is not monophyletic, by recovering Pariana sensu stricto as strongly supported and sister to Eremitis + Pariana multiflora, with Parianella sister to the Pariana-Eremitis clade. Morphological features of their synflorescences and differences in ectexine patterns characterize each lineage. Based on all these characters and the phylogenetic results, Pariana multiflora, endemic to the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil, is transferred to Eremitis.

    Abstract The wood anatomy of Huberia consimilis, Miconia amoena, M. mirabilis, M. rimalis and Tibouchina francavillana (Melastomataceae) is described and compared with other species from the same genera. All taxa share vestured pits, absent or inconspicuous growth rings, septate fibres, parenchyma-like tangential bands, and fibres shorter than 900 μm which is characteristic of the family Melastomataceae. Each species exhibited a set of wood anatomical characteristics that enabled its identification. Some traits were more relevant in distinguishing genera, such as composition of parenchyma-like tangential bands, vessel-ray pits, ray width, rays per millimetre and fibre length. Parenchyma-like tangential bands are described in great detail, and we propose a more specific nomenclature for their anatomical classification.

    Abstract Pollen sources used by Centris trigonoides bees were identifıed in an area of the Caatinga vegetation by analysing the pollen residues encountered in their nests. Twenty-eight pollen types were identifıed, and the most frequently found were Chamaecrista ramosa (46.45%; Leguminosae-Caesalpinioideae), Solanum paniculatum (16.65%; Solanaceae) and Zornia echinocarpa (10.27%; Leguminosae-Papilionoideae). The identifıcation of the pollen types and information about the resources offered by the plants indicated that many species were visited as nectar sources rather than as pollen or oil sources by Centris trigonoides.

    Abstract Profile of phenolic compounds, melissopalynological, physicochemical analysis and antioxidant activity of Melipona subnitida honeys from Brazil are presented. The constituents in the EtOAc fraction were identified by HPLC-DAD. The melissopalynological analysis showed 19 pollen types from 9 families. Mimosa caesalpiniifolia was the predominant pollen type in 8 of the 9 honey samples. The physicochemical analysis revealed that the samples showed a similar profile. All jandaíra honey samples had similar characteristic profile of phenolic compounds, strong antioxidant activity accompanied by high total polyphenol contents. The flavonoids naringenin, quercetin, and isorhamnetin along with gallic, vanillic, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic, and cumaric acids are common to eight samples and were adequately quantified. The two isomers of abscisic acid (trans–trans and cis–trans) present in major quantity in the sample 9 were isolated and quantified in all samples. The antioxidant activity of the honey samples strongly correlated with their phenolic content.

    Abstract Encounters between flowers and invertebrates are key events for the functioning of tropical forests. Assessing the structure of networks composed of the interactions between those partners leads to a better understanding of ecosystem functioning and the effects of environmental factors on ecological processes. Gathering such data is, however, costly and time-consuming, especially in the highly diverse tropics. We aimed to provide a comprehensive repository of available flower-invertebrate interaction information for the Atlantic Forest, a South American tropical forest domain. Data were obtained from published works and "gray literature," such as theses and dissertations, as well as self-reports by co-authors. The data set has ~18,000 interaction records forming 482 networks, each containing between one and 1061 interaction links. Each network was sampled for about 200 h or less, with few exceptions. A total of 641 plant genera within 136 different families and 39 orders were reported, with the most abundant and rich families being Asteraceae, Fabaceae, and Rubiaceae. Invertebrates interacting with these plants were all arthropods from 10 orders, 129 families, and 581 genera, comprising 2419 morphotypes (including 988 named species). Hymenoptera was the most abundant and diverse order, with at least six times more records than the second-ranked order (Lepidoptera). The complete data set shows Hymenoptera interacting with all plant orders and also shows Diptera, Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, and Hemiptera to be important nodes. Among plants, Asterales and Fabales had the highest number of interactions. The best sampled environment was forest (~8000 records), followed by pastures and crops. Savanna, grasslands, and urban environments (among others) were also reported, indicating a wide range of approaches dedicated to collecting flower-invertebrate interaction data in the Atlantic Forest domain. Nevertheless, most reported data were from forest understory or lower strata, indicating a knowledge gap about flower-invertebrate interactions at the canopy. Also, access to remote regions remains a limitation, generating sampling bias across the geographical range of the Atlantic Forest. Future studies in these continuous and hard-to-access forested areas will yield important new information regarding the interactions between flowers and invertebrates in the Atlantic Forest. There are no copyright restrictions on the data set. Please cite this data paper if the data are used in publications and teaching events.

    Abstract The pollen contents of honeys from 22 different municipalities of the Brazilian state of Sergipe were analysed. A total of 90 pollen types distributed in 32 plant families were identified. Fabaceae had the highest representation in number of pollen types (29 types), followed by Asteraceae (eight types), Rubiaceae (seven types), Anacardiaceae and Malvaceae (four each) and Euphorbiaceae and Myrtaceae (three each). The presence of dominant pollen was detected in 14 samples, with the dominant types Mimosa pudica in five samples, Alternanthera in two samples, Angelonia , Cocos nucifera , Mimosa arenosa , Mimosa tenuiflora , Myrcia , Prosopis juliflora , Protium and Schinus in one sample each. Eleven pollen types were recorded as accessory pollen: Borreria verticillata , Mimosa pudica , Tapira in three samples, Mitracarpus hirtus in two samples, Angelonia , Baccharis , Cocos nucifera , Melastomataceae, Protium , Salvia and Senna macranthera in one sample each. Pollen types from the genus Mimosa were prominent in the samples indicating the important contribution of species with palynological affinities with the pollen types found in this genus in the apicultural production of the region. Pollen types from species endemic to the Caatinga were found in the pollen spectrum for Sergipe: Mimosa adenophylla , Mimosa ophthalmocentrica , Mimosa setuligera and Mimosa xiquexiquensis from Fabaceae, and Ziziphus joazeiro from Rhaminaceae.

Twenty-eight pollen types were identifıed, and the most frequently found were Chamaecrista ramosa (46.45%; Leguminosae-Caesalpinioideae), Solanum paniculatum (16.65%; Solanaceae) and Zornia echinocarpa (10.27%; Leguminosae-Papilionoideae). The identifıcation of the pollen types and information about the resources offered by the plants indicated that many species were visited as nectar sources rather than as pollen or oil sources by Centris trigonoides.
