Convergent evolution of floral signals underlies the success of Neotropical orchids. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2013 The great majority of plant species in the tropics require animals to achieve pollination, but the exact role of floral signals in attraction of animal pollinators is often debated.

From flower to fruit: The origin of the trilocular ovary and fruit development in Phragmipedium longifolium (Warsz. & Rchb.f.) Rolfe (Orchidaceae: Cypripedioideae). [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)Phragmipedium longifolium has a trilocular ovary with a post‐genital septum, and during fruit development, lignification plays a crucial role in facilitating dehiscence and seed dispersal. Abstract While carpels in Orchidaceae are predominantly unilocular, trilocular carpels can also occur, mainly in branches separated during the early diversification ...

Recent origin and rapid speciation of Neotropical orchids in the world's richest plant biodiversity hotspot. [PDF]
New Phytol, 2017 Summary The Andean mountains of South America are the most species‐rich biodiversity hotspot worldwide with c. 15% of the world's plant species, in only 1% of the world's land surface. Orchids are a key element of the Andean flora, and one of the most prominent components of the Neotropical epiphyte diversity, yet very little is known about their ...
