Sexually deceptive orchids mimic females of their pollinator species to attract male insects
for pollination. Pollination by sexual deception has independently evolved in European …

Intraspecific communication involves the activation of chemoreceptors and subsequent
activation of different central areas that coordinate the responses of the entire organism …

The trillions of bacteria that make up the human microbiome are believed to encode
functions that are important to human health; however, little is known about the specific …

Flowers use olfactory and visual signals to communicate with pollinators. Disentangling the
relative contributions and potential synergies between signals remains a challenge …

Floral mimicry of decaying plant or animal material has evolved in many plant lineages and
exploits, for the purpose of pollination, insects seeking oviposition sites. Existing studies …

Sexually deceptive orchids employ floral volatiles to sexually lure their specific pollinators.
How and why this pollination system has evolved independently on multiple continents …

In my study of natural shapes, more specifically of bamboo, I started using the superellipses
and supercircles of Gabriel Lamé around 1994 to study the shape of certain square …

Positioned within current ecocritical scholarship, this volume is the first book-length study of
the representations of plants in contemporary American, English, and Australian poetry …

Sexually deceptive orchids lure their specific male pollinators using volatile semiochemicals
that mimic female sex pheromones. To date, the semiochemicals known to be involved …

Pollination by sexual deception is arguably one of the most unusual liaisons linking plants
and insects, and perhaps the most illustrative example of extreme floral specialization in …
