Pepitilla (Zea mays)

Identidad taxonómica

Scientific name: Zea mays mays Pepitilla
Canonical name: The scientific name without its authorship or date, for example Zea mays instead of Zea mays L.: Zea mays mays Pepitilla
Name provenance: Not recorded in the catalog
Genus: Rank that groups closely related species. Its name is the first word of a species' scientific name and starts with a capital letter, for example Zea in Zea mays.: Zea
Specific epithet: The second word of a species' scientific name. On its own it does not name the species: it always goes with the genus, for example mays in Zea mays.: mays
Infraspecific epithet: The word that follows the species name to name a unit below the species, such as a subspecies or a variety, for example mexicana in Zea mays subsp. mexicana.: Pepitilla
What this record represents: An operational category Biolítica uses to group the native varieties of a crop that share traits and origin, for example Mexico's maize races such as Tuxpeño. It is not a taxonomic rank: no nomenclature code recognizes it and external catalogs assign it no identifier. In cultivated-plant nomenclature its closest equivalent is the Group (Zea mays subsp. mays Tuxpeño Group).: landrace
Reference species: Zea mays

Photos and conservation status

This record is not a species with its own taxon, so it shows neither photos nor a Red List category, not even those of its reference species.

Interacciones documentadas

GloBI says it is documented somewhere in the world. Biolitica answers whether it could happen here.

A documented interaction means it was recorded somewhere in the world. It does not mean it occurs here.

Pollination

is pollinated by 25 organisms

This term declares that the organism benefits this species. «Visits the flowers of» is a different term and a different block: a visitor is not a pollinator, and merging the two is the measured defect that turned ~88 shared «pollinators» into birds and primates.

Interaction data from Global Biotic Interactions (GloBI), GloBI 0.11. Each row keeps the citation its own study published.

Interactions are published at species level: they are not resolved by variety or race.

Each block is headed by the source's own term, read from this species' end — not by a category of ours. Two similar terms are not merged.

«Documented here» means the interaction was observed in this territory. It is not evidence that the species is here, and it does not enter the niche model.

Documented uses and recommendations

Uses and recommendations that a source documents for this species beside a crop, each in its own context. They are the source's statements, not traits of the species and not Biolítica's recommendations, and none of them is a relation between two species.

Among the sources you can read, none documents a use or recommendation of this species beside a crop.
