Evidence of introduced honeybees (Apis mellifera) as pollen wasters in orchid pollination
Biological invasions threaten global biodiversity, altering landscapes, ecosystems, and
mutualistic relationships like pollination. Orchids are one of the most threatened plant …

Beyond the various contrivances by which orchids are pollinated: global patterns in orchid pollination biology
Orchidaceae show remarkable diversity in pollination strategies, but how these strategies
vary globally is not entirely clear. To identify regions and taxa that are data-rich and lend …

Ecological factors driving pollination success in an orchid that mimics a range of Fabaceae
Rewarding plants can enhance the pollination success of co-occurring plants pollinated by
food mimicry. However, it is not always possible to readily discern between the effect of …

Mimicking orchids lure bees from afar with exaggerated ultraviolet signals
Flowers have many traits to appeal to pollinators, including ultraviolet (UV) absorbing
markings, which are well‐known for attracting bees at close proximity (eg,< 1 m). While …
