Abstract

This article summarizes a study conducted in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest on the pollen carried by Neotropical hawkmoths on their proboscises. The study found that hawkmoths do not show high specificity in their choice of flowers, as individuals with both short and long proboscises visited the same flower species. The most abundant pollen type was Pera from the Peraceae family. The study also emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary research in informing preservation policies for the Atlantic Forest.
