- Abstract
A particular research area can be significantly improved when information is systematized in explanatory theories able to generate testable hypotheses. In pollination biology, such systematization contributed to several ecological theories and expanded the understanding of the patterns and processes that originated, maintain, or exclude ecological interactions. Here, we compiled a set of 25 ecological ideas that have already received conceptual contribution from pollination biology. These ideas are related to reproduction, morphology, cognition, macroecology and species coexistence. We hope to promote the use of an explicit conceptual and theoretical approach when planning and developing studies in this research field by presenting these main ideas. We conclude that this contribution will boost studies in pollination biology in Brazil and contribute to the advancement and internationalization of such research developed in the country.
