Terrestrial orchid life-cycles are complex and dependent on pollinators and mycorrhizal
associates. Worldwide, orchid populations are declining because of urbanization …

Animal pollinators mediate gene flow among plant populations, but in contrast to well‐
studied topographic and (Pleistocene) environmental isolating barriers, their impact on …

Premise Animal pollinators play an important role in pollen dispersal. Here, we assessed
differences in pollen and seed dispersal and the role of pollinator functional groups with …

Pantropical Bulbophyllum, with∼ 2,200 species, is one of the largest genera in
Orchidaceae. Although phylogenetics and taxonomy of the∼ 60 American species in the …

Mycorrhizal symbiosis has been related to the coexistence and community assembly of
coexisting orchids in few studies despite their obligate dependence on mycorrhizal partners …

Symbiotic interactions are common in nature. In dynamic or degraded environments, the
ability to associate with multiple partners (ie broad specificity) may enable species to persist …

Despite the fact that invasive species are of great evolutionary interest because of their
success in colonizing and spreading into new areas, the factors underlying this success …

Accelerating climate change is expected to cause range shifts of numerous taxa worldwide.
While climatic projections and predicted consequences typically focus on the future (2050 or …

To date, little is known about the past evolutionary trajectories of rare and endangered
orchids native to mainland China, Japan, and Korea (the CJK region). In this study, we focus …

Orchids differ from other plants in their extremely small and partly air‐filled seeds that can be
transported long distances by wind. Seed dispersal in orchids is expected to contribute …
