Community involvment in orchid conservation

Lankesteriana, 2015
In 2000 the Australasian Native Orchid Society, Victorian Group Inc. (ANOS Vic) made the decision to become proactive in orchid conservation. It was appar- ent that government organisations were over stretched when it came to devoting the resources needed to protect our native orchids and that as a society we could assist in many ways.

A dual pollination strategy combining perfume attraction and food deception in Galeandra blanchetii E.S. Rand (Orchidaceae)

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Galeandra blanchetii exhibits a dual‐attraction strategy: male euglossine bees are lured by floral scents as a resource, while both sexes are deceived by non‐existent nectar. Pollination only occurs when bees enter the spur to search for nectar, highlighting an evolutionary transition towards the perfume flower syndrome in Catasetinae.

The status of orchid conservation in China

Lankesteriana, 2015
Orchids are a flag group in plant conservation. China has not a rich orchid flora, with only about 1200 specie in about 170 genera, but it is distin- guished by having a wider range of broad ecosystem types. On orchid vegetative morphology, a feature reflecting environmental conditions, China has equal numbers of terrestrial and epiphytic (including ...

Lipidomics of orchid seeds: from development to storage

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The study tracked lipid changes from pollination to storage in two orchid species. Although both were desiccation‐tolerant and storable, differences in saturated and unsaturated fatty acid proportions during development led to different moisture contents and germination capacities.

Sharing of 4‐hydroxy‐3‐(methylthio)benzaldehyde as a pollination semiochemical among distantly related sexually deceptive orchids

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that Spiculaea ciliata attracts male Thynnoturneria abspiculus through a single semiochemical, identified as 4‐hydroxy‐3‐(methylthio)benzaldehyde, emitted from its labellum. This compound alone elicited sexual behaviours in male wasps comparable to those elicited by whole floral extracts and attracted wasps when presented on a synthetic ...

No need to seed: restoring species‐rich grassland on former arable fields by natural regeneration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Over the last century, agricultural intensification has caused substantial losses of semi‐natural species‐rich grasslands. One means of restoring grassland habitat is to abandon farmed land, followed by mowing and/or grazing of the established vegetation to facilitate meadow diversification. Objectives This study investigated post‐
