Recent phylogenomic analyses based on the maternally inherited plastid organelle have
enlightened evolutionary relationships between the subfamilies of Orchidaceae and most of …

Perfume flowers (sensu Vogel 1) produce intense scents that function both as attractants
and as the sole rewards for pollinators. The scent is collected exclusively by male …

Isolation between species, or taxa sharing a common lineage, depends primarily on the

Abstract Background and Aims: Visitation and fragrance collection in fruits of the genus
Vanilla by Euglossine bees (Eulaema spp.) have previously been documented. However, in …

Olfactory cues constitute one of the most important plant-pollinator communication channels.
Specific chemical components can be associated with specific pollinator functional groups …

Nursery pollination involves pollinators that lay eggs on the flowers they pollinate and have
their brood fed on flower parts or developing ovules [1–4]. Active pollination, a ritualistic …

Abstract n the Neotropics, the focus of apomictic studies predominantly centres on trees

and feeding on different plants have been determined. The Headspace Solid‐Phase …

Clowesia is a relatively small Neotropical genus of Orchidaceae sister to the much larger
Catasetum. A hypothesis of internal relationships was proposed in the 1990s, based solely …

Interactions between plant and pollinators are associated with the origin and maintenance of
species diversity, as well as ecosystem functioning. The potential of pollination as an …
