Cockroach pollination of Clusia aff. sellowiana
Figure 1
Vlasáková et al. (pp. 295–304) report on a new species of Clusia that dominates the vegetation of the Nouragues inselberg in French Guiana. They focus on the pollination biology and on the remarkable relationship of this plant species with Amazonina platystylata, its cockroach pollinator. Most probably this is only the second record of pollination by cockroaches.


Geographic variation in the reproductive ecology of Vigna
Figure 2
Etcheverry et al. (pp. 305–316) describe the patterns of geographic variation in the reproductive ecology of Vigna caracalla, which has the most complex flower among Papilionoideae. The peripheral population (highest site) had the greatest level of self-compatibility and autonomous self-pollination, and the lowest reproductive success and number of pollinators. Self-fertilization may evolve in . . . [Full Text of this Article]
