Abstract
Photo 1. Acca sellowiana flower. Notice the fleshy and white petals. Photo credit: Carlos A. Matallana-Puerto. Photo 2. Rattus norvegicus visiting Acca sellowiana flowers during the day to consume its petals. Rats visit several flowers from different individuals and touch both anthers and stigma, probably promoting cross-pollination and fruit set. Photo credit: Carlos A. Matallana-Puerto. These photographs illustrate the article “Ratatouille of flowers! Rats as potential pollinators of a petal-rewarding plant in the urban area” by Carlos A. Matallana-Puerto and João Custódio Fernandes Cardoso published in Ecology, https://doi.org/10.1002/ecy.3778
