Lack of floral nectar reduces self-pollination in a fly-pollinated orchid

Oecologia, 2005
One explanation for the widespread absence of floral nectar in many orchids is that it causes pollinators to visit fewer flowers on a plant, and thus reduces self-pollination. This, in turn, could increase fitness by reducing inbreeding depression in progeny and promoting pollen export.

Pollination by Non-Apis Bees and Potential Benefits in Self-Pollinating Crops

Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 2021
The diversity and abundance of native bees (Hymenoptera: Anthophila) are important in providing pollination services to a diverse array of crops. An extensive literature base is available on the contributions of bees as crop pollinators. The focus of the

Rain-triggered self-pollination in Liparis kumokiri, an orchid that blooms during the rainy season.

Ecology, 2019
Orchids are well-known for possessing unsurpassed floral specializations and complex pollination strategies. For example, they are specialists that both reward and deceive their insect pollinators (Nilsson 1992).
