Floral Handedness in Mormodes Orchids: Revisiting Charles Darwin's Observations

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.
In this study, we scrutinized floral enantiostyly in Mormodes orchids, a unique trait within Orchidaceae first observed by Charles Darwin. We hypothesize how intricate column twisting drives strategic pollinarium placement onto opposite sides of the thorax of male euglossine bees, enhancing cross‐pollination.

Tropical Land‐Use Change Disrupts Zeta‐Diversity Across Taxa

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 5, May 2025.
We studied birds, dung beetles, and orchids across natural and human‐transformed habitats in the Colombian Andes to understand how land‐use change affects biodiversity. We found that deforestation simplifies ecological communities and reduces both rare and widespread species, especially orchids.
