A comparative study on the reproductive success of two rewarding Habenaria species (Orchidaceae) occurring in roadside verge habitats [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2021 Background Most orchid species have been shown to be severely pollination limited, and the factors affecting reproductive success have been widely studied. However, the factors determining the reproductive success vary from species to species.

The ethics of theft: Reevaluating the impacts of floral larceny on plant reproductive success [PDF]
Plant DiversityPlants and their interaction partners offer unparalleled views of evolutionary ecology. Nectar larceny, entailing nectar extraction without pollinating, is thought to be an example of a harmful, antagonistic behavior, but the precise consequences of ...

Allogamy, metaxenia and hybrids in orchids, what do we know about it?
Botanical SciencesOrchids are a diverse group of plants, also manifested in their great diversity of flowers. Despite this, orchids are pollinated either through autogamy or allogamy (geitonogamy and xenogamy). Although there are some autogamous orchids, the majority are

Floral Color Change Mediated by Pollen Input-Output and Its Manipulation of Pollinator Foraging Behavior in Heterostylous Plant <i>Arnebia guttata</i> (Boraginaceae). [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe inducement, functions of flower color change (FCC) and its ecological effects have been studied by controlling pollination, accurate statistics of pollen transfer and visiting behavior in a typical distylous species. The results showed that limiting pollen input–output can delay fading time of spots, adding fake spots to old flowers can improve ...
