  • Descrição: Ant pollination is an uncommon system that has evolved independently in different Angiosperm families (Beattie, 2006). This interaction has been associated with arid environments because plants need produce fell floral resources and ants are ubiquitous in arid environments, even when other pollinators become scarce. Notwithstanding, many interactions between plants and ants in arid environments may shift to the night (e.g. herbivory or consumption of extrafloral nectar), likely due to the influence of climatic factors or in response to resource competition. This nocturnal condition likely extends to ant pollination. In fact, interactions with nocturnal vectors are important pollination strategy in dry environments, since nighttime interactions are not impeded by high temperatures and low humidity. Many Camponotus species present nocturnal activity, which can be explained by self-regulation of the circadian rhythm of the colony itself and the availability of resources.
