Implications of the Floral Herbivory on Malpighiacea Plant Fitness: Visual Aspect of the Flower affects the attractiveness to Pollinators
The Malpighiaceae family is species-rich and is abundant in Brazil. Malpighiaceae flowers provide oil and pollen to pollinating bees and serve as food for herbivorous insects, which damage the floral structures. Although common in the Cerrado, florivory is still poorly studied. In the present study...
