Reversibility of sex changes in the plant kingdom: more important than we thought?
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Compared to animals, plants show a wide range of reproductive strategies with different degrees of sex separation (e.g. dioecy, monoecy, hermaphroditism). While sex expression was previously thought to be genetically determined and fixed in plants, accumulating evidence suggests that sex expression can change reversibly even within one ...

Endocarpic trichomes in Vandeae (Orchidaceae)
Flora, 2021 Endocarpic trichomes have been analyzed in fruits of 267 species from 80 genera of the orchid tribe Vandeae, using light and scanning electron microscopy. They have been observed for the first time in 56 genera and confirmed in the rest. The present study describes their microstructure in Vandeae and suggests a standardization for its terminology ...

Predicting evolution in response to climate change: the example of sprouting probability in three dormancy-prone orchid species [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Although many ecological properties of species respond to climate change, their evolutionary responses are poorly understood. Here, we use data from long-term demographic studies to predict evolutionary responses of three herbaceous perennial orchid ...

Pollination and plant reproduction in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Brazilian Cerrado is a continental‐wide biodiversity hotspot and the most species‐rich savanna ecosystem in the world. The main aspect characterising this biodiversity is that the landscape is arranged as an intricate mosaic of different plant formations, including grasslands, savannas, and forests, each harbouring distinct but ...

The role of pollinator attracting scent in the sexually deceptive orchids Ophrys chestermanii, O. normanii and O. tenthredinifera [PDF]
, 2008 Sexual deception of male bees is one of the most remarkable mechanisms of pollination (Ackermann 1986, Proctor & al. 1996). Flowers of the orchid genus Ophrys mimic females of their pollinator species, usually bees and wasps, to attract males, which try ...

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wasps, although less recognised as good pollinators, also feed on nectar and pollinate flowers. Specialised pollination systems, such as orchids that mimic the pheromones of female wasps to attract males, are complex and specific. This interaction occurs with some Thyninnae wasps that also visit flowers to obtain nectar and perform other ...

The unique mouse pollination in an orchid species [PDF]
, 2008 The Chinese orchid, _Cymbidium serratum_, is pollinated by the wild mountain mouse _Rattus fulvescens_. The flowers use both odor and colour as attractants, and provide labellum as food reward for the pollinators.
