Ramirez and Brito (1992)
General information
This study
was conducted in the central plains of Guarico State, Venezuela.
Field observations were made in the years 1983, 1984 and 1989. This
paper characterizes the floral biology and pollination spectrum
of the "morichal" community, and tests whether pollination
systems and unspecialized pollen transpotation are in accord with
the high proportion of self-compatibility found in the "morichal."
(The "morichal" is a tropical swamp community dominated
by Mauritia flexuosa.)
Data type
The authors
recorded the identities of flower visitor and plant species and
their interactions. Data are presented as a binary interaction matrix,
in which cells with a "1" indicate an interaction between
a pair of species, and a "0" indicates no interaction.
