Pollination by sexual deception — it takes chemistry to work
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2016 Semiochemicals are of paramount importance in sexually deceptive plants. These plants sexually lure specific male insects as pollinators by chemical and physical mimicry of the female of the pollinator. The strategy has evolved repeatedly in orchids, with a wide diversity of insect groups exploited.

The Genetic Basis of Pollinator Adaptation in a Sexually Deceptive Orchid
PLoS Genetics, 2012 In plants, pollinator adaptation is considered to be a major driving force for floral diversification and speciation.

An experimental evaluation of traits that influence the sexual behaviour of pollinators in sexually deceptive orchids [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2018 AbstractPollination by sexual deception of male insects is perhaps one of the most remarkable cases of mimicry in the plant kingdom. However, understanding the influence of floral traits on pollinator behaviour in sexually deceptive plants is challenging, due to the risk of confounding changes in floral odour when manipulating morphology.
