The role of bee diversity in pollination and fruit set of yellow passion fruit (Passiflora edulis forma flavicarpa, Passifloraceae) crop in Central Brazil

Abstract: International audiencePollination is an important ecosystem service, especially to self-sterile crops as passion fruit, which depends on the large solitary bee for fruit set. We estimated the species richness of pollinators of yellow passion fruit in Central Brazil and examined whether there was any association with crop yield. We recorded 27 bee species on passion fruit flowers in commercial orchards in the region, from 2004 to 2007. Some 17 species were classified as pollinators (12 as effective and 5 as occ… Show more

“…The classification was based on passion fruit production data in different locations in Brazil (Sazima and Sazima, 1989;Kavati 1998;Camillo 2003;Oliveira-Filho and Freitas 2003;Bos et al 2007) and in the Triângulo Mineiro region (Yamamoto et al 2012). According to these study results, the average natural pollination percentage of passion fruit is 13.7 ± 8.9 % (Brazil = 15.7 ± 10.3 %; Triângulo Mineiro = 11.1 ± 6.4 %).…”

“…Passion fruit crops exhibit a low density of pollinators because of the reduction of natural vegetation surrounding these crops, which implies a reduction of food and nesting resources (Camillo 2003;Yamamoto et al 2012). The pollinator deficit in these crops has been minimized with the use of manual pollination.…”

“…A tipificação mais estrita é baseada no conceito de síndromes de polinização, conforme Faegri & van der Pijl (1979), que tende a simplificar o fato de que em muitos casos as flores são visitadas e mesmo polinizadas por um espectro maior de animais (McCall & Primack 1992;Herrera 1996;Rozzi et al 1997) (Kinoshita et al 2006). Desta maneira, compreender a distribuição vertical dos sistemas de polinização bióticos no cerrado é um passo importante para subsidiar estratégias de conservação dos polinizadores autóctones (Yamamoto et al 2012) e das próprias fisionomias de vegetação (Martins & Batalha 2007). O presente estudo teve por objetivos conhecer a distribuição dos sistemas de polinização bióticos na estratificação vertical, com ênfase na importância relativa das plantas polinizadas por abelhas (e.g.…”
