Abstract

In a community with different plant species co-occurring in the space, and whose flowering periods overlap, occurrence in aggregates can be negative, due to potential competition for the abiotic resources necessary for seed production or pollinator services. Therefore, in order to evaluate how heterospecific aggregation affects reproductive success (i.e. the number of fruits viable formed and their weight) we studied two self-incompatible species in the Pantanal South. Data collection was carried out at the Pantanal Study Base (BEP-UFMS) in Corumbá, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, where we established 60 plots, 30 for each focal species (Richardia grandiflora and Ludwigia lagunae), with 15 plots in monospecific spots and 15 in heterospecific. We evaluate pollen load deposited on the stigmas by floral visitors and also the formation of fruits and seeds. Our results showed that L. lagunae has greater richness and abundance of pollen load on the stigmas when in heterospecific patches, and in this condition there was a significant reduction in fruit weight. In Richardia grandiflora also greater richness and abundance of pollen load was detected in patches heterospecific, with a greater number of viable fruits being formed (i.e. with more seeds) in monospecific patches. Therefore, we conclude that for both species, individuals in monospecific plots showed greater success reproductive, as they managed to produce fruits of greater weight; or greater quantity of viable fruits, which can guarantee greater reproductive success.
