Gonzaga D. R., Tortorelli R. M., Almeida T. M. H. D., Peixoto A. L., Floral Visitors and Florivory in Tacinga inamoena (Cactaceae) in the Ex Situ Collection of the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden, Journal of Zoological and Botanical Gardens, 2025, 6(1):6, doi: 10.3390/jzbg6010006
Flower phenology, visitor composition and flower herbivory in Tacinga inamoena in a collection in Rio de Janeiro. The authors followed 79 flowers, visits by bees and a hummingbird, and damage caused by Tropidurus torquatus. They distinguish the initial setting of 72 fruits from the later ripening of 61 fruits. The small sample of enclosed flowers raises a question about autogamy.
