Pollen grain evolution in Zornia evidences the homoplastic nature of a stenopalynous genus of Leguminosae
Higor Antonio-Domingues, Cynthia Fernandes Pinto da Luz, Mônica Lanzoni Rossi, Rafael Felipe de Almeida, Adriana Pinheiro Martinelli, Gwilym Peter Lewis, Ana Paula Fortuna-Perez
Plant Ecology and Evolution, 2026
Background and aims – Zornia is the only pantropical genus in the Adesmia clade (Dalbergieae), subdivided into two clades by previous phylogenetic studies. Zornia remains the only genus of the Adesmia clade to be palynologically understudied. We present a comprehensive palynological study for this genus, testing the systematic relevance of pollen morphology in a phylogenetic context. Materials and Methods – Standard acetolysis was performed on all pollen grains of the Zornia species, alongside advanced microscopic techniques (LM, SEM, and TEM). Additionally, a principal components analysis was performed to elucidate patterns of variation in quantitative data among species. Using the most recent phylogenetic framework existing for the taxa, we scored and coded 13 micromorphological characters to test for secondary homologies. Key results – A comprehensive pollen characterisation enabled a complete description of Zornia as stenopalynous, with some differences in pollen grain size and ultrastructure of the operculum, margo, and sexine. The thickness of the pollen nexine (&gt; 0.5 μm) is considered a synapomorphy for the genus Zornia , as shown by our character reconstruction analysis. Conclusions – The presence of colpate apertures is a unifying pollen character of the genus Zornia . In addition, the thickness of the pollen nexine (&gt; 0.5 μm) was recovered as a synapomorphy for the genus, while Zornia Clade A was supported by two homoplasies correlated with ultrasculpture of the apocolpium (psilate-perforate) and sexine thickness (&lt; 0.5 μm) and Zornia Clade B by the exoaperture width (5–10 μm). The stenopalynous nature of Zornia pollen grains is corroborated here by the large number of homoplasies recovered.

Characterizing pollen profiles in honey from Melipona quadrifasciata anthidioides: a melissopalynological study
Natalia Sêneda Martarello, Adriana de Oliveira Fidalgo, Cynthia Fernandes Pinto da Luz
Palynology, 2025
The botanical origin of honey, as determined through melissopalynological analysis, provides indirect indication of the nectariferous and polleniferous plant species exploited by foraging bees. This study aims to identify the pollen types present in the honey of Melipona quadrifasciata anthidioides bees. The colonies were located in Parque Estadual das Fontes do Ipiranga (PEFI). Monthly honey collection took place in two colonies between January and September 2018, and from October to December 2019. Palinological preparation followed the Classic European Method, without acetolysis. In addition to foraging on Eucalyptus (an exotic species), which indicates its abundance in the PEFI areas, the bees also collected nectar from several native species, mainly Alchornea, Anadenanthera, Andira/Dalbergia/Machaerium, Arrabidaea/Lundia, Baccharis, Distimake macrocalyx, Piptadenia gonoacantha, Scoparia, Serjania, Sloanea, Vernonia and Zornia. These plant species are part of the nectar diet of the bees studied.

In the present work, the pollen grains of three species belonging to the family Simaroubaceae (currently Picramniaceae) (Picramnia ciliata Mart., Picramnia glazioviana Engl., Picramnia parvifolia Engl.), occurring in the "Reserva do Parque Estadual das Fontes do Ipiranga", were studied. Descriptions, illustrations, and pollen key for species are provided.

Journal of Insect Conservation, 2024
Orchid bee species are important pollinators in the Neotropics. While male orchid bees are known to have a close interaction with odor-rewarding flowers, orchid bee females are often pollen generalists. In the current study, we investigated differences in the pollen diet diversity of orchid bees in various vegetation types and across sites with varying levels of forest cover by means of an analysis of the frass pellets of the orchid bee, Euglossa cordata (Linnaeus, 1758), and multiple species based on a literature review. The pollen grains found in the inner part of brood cells were used to assess the plant composition making up the diet of E. cordata in various areas of the state of São Paulo in Brazil. We found that this plant composition differed among vegetation types, and that diet specialization was lower in forested areas. Forest cover appeared to be the factor mostly associated with pollen richness in nests of E. cordata. Number of brood cells per nest were also associated with forest cover. The model used to assess the effect of forest cover on plant richness as part of brood diet of E. cordata was tested with the inclusion of published data and a newly generated data for E. annectans. This new data set allowed to understand the influence of forest in the pollen diet of multiple species in a more extensive geographic scale. Forest cover appeared to be important for a diversified pollen diet in several orchid bee species. Implications for insect conservation Since a diversified pollen diet offered to larva bees is associated with bee survival and health, our results indicate that orchid bees relying on areas with higher forest cover have a more resilient population. Such findings emphasize the importance of conservation of forests, especially in the Neotropical region where many pollinator species are adapted to continuous forest environments.
