Three Chemically Distinct Floral Ecotypes in Drakaea livida, an Orchid Pollinated by Sexual Deception of Thynnine Wasps [PDF]
Plants, 2022 Sexually deceptive orchids are unusual among plants in that closely related species typically attract different pollinator species using contrasting blends of floral volatiles.

Genome of the early spider-orchid Ophrys sphegodes provides insights into sexual deception and pollinator adaptation [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsPollinator-driven evolution of floral traits is thought to be a major driver of angiosperm speciation and diversification. Ophrys orchids mimic female insects to lure male pollinators into pseudocopulation.

To Intervene or Not to Intervene: An Experimental Methodology Measuring Actual Bystander Behaviour [PDF]
Behavioral SciencesBystander intervention and sexual assault research typically rely on self-reported intent to intervene. However, predicted behaviour can be considerably different from actual behaviour.

Ecological interactions of the sexually deceptive orchid Orchis galilaea [PDF]
Journal of Plant Interactions, 2018 Plant species dependent on highly specific interactions with pollinators are vulnerable to environmental change. Conservation strategies therefore require a detailed understanding of pollination ecology.

Sexual deception: Coevolution or inescapable exploitation? [PDF]
Environmental Epigenetics, 2014 Abstract Sexual deception involves the mimicry of another species’ sexual signals in order to exploit behavioural routines linked to those signals. Known sexually deceptive systems use visual, acoustic or olfactory mimicry to exploit insects for prédation, cleptoparasitism and pollination.

Machiavellianism and sexual behavior: Motivations, deception and infidelity
Personality and Individual Differences, 2015 Abstract The current study investigated the influence of Machiavellianism, a personality trait characterized by a manipulative interpersonal style and willingness to exploit others (Christie & Geis, 1970), on three areas of sexual behavior. Men (N = 90) and women (N = 192) aged 18–81 years (M = 25.82, SD = 9.85) completed the Mach IV (Christie & Geis,

Pollinator-Driven Speciation in Sexually Deceptive Orchids [PDF]
International Journal of Ecology, 2012 Pollinator-mediated selection has been suggested to play a major role for the origin and maintenance of the species diversity in orchids. Sexually deceptive orchids are one of the prime examples for rapid, pollinator-mediated plant radiations, with many species showing little genetic differentiation, lack of postzygotic barriers, but strong prezygotic ...
