Pollinators and Visitors of Aroid Inflorescences: an addendum
By Marc Gibernau     (Buy)

ABSTRACT:

Data on aroid pollinators or inflorescence visitors were reviewed lately by Gibernau (2003), documenting the pollinators of 49 genera and about 125 species. This addendum adds information on 35 genera, of which 9 are newly documented, and about 60 species. In summary, we have some information on pollinators or inflorescence visitors on 58 genera and about 165 species. Such numbers are very low in comparison of the family diversity (more than 110 genera and about 4,000 species). The pollination of entire groups of Araceae is still unknown. The knowledge on the pollination of each tribe is discussed.
