Pollination ecology of Caryocar brasiliense (Caryocaraceae) in Central Brazil cerrado vegetation

The floral biology, breeding system and pollination of Caryocar brasiliense were studied in the cerrado vegetation of Central Brazil. The large, yellowish-cream, brush-like flowers are pollinated mainly by glossophagine bats (Glossophaga soricina and Anoura geoffroyi). Three non-glos-sophagine bats...
