Beyond the various contrivances by which orchids are pollinated: global patterns in orchid pollination biology
James D. Ackerman,Ryan D. Phillips,Raymond L. Tremblay,Adam P. Karremans,Noushka Reiter,Craig I. Peter,Diego Bogarín,Oscar Alejandro Pérez-Escobar,Hong Liu +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper , a global database of orchid reproductive biology is presented, which contains more than 2900 species representing all orchid sub-families and 23 of 24 tribes, with information on habit, breeding systems, means of pollinator attraction and the identity of pollinators.

Evolutionary disruption in the pollination system of Vanilla (Orchidaceae)
E R Pansarin,A W C Ferreira +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of flower traits on the reproduction of Vanilla is investigated and the evolution of pollination systems in order to understand the origin of production of flower resources and the diversification of pollinators in this orchid genus.

Sweet as Vanilla hartii: Evidence for a nectar-rewarding pollination mechanism in Vanilla (Orchidaceae) flowers
Charlotte Watteyn,Daniela Scaccabarozzi,Bart Muys,B. Reubens,James D. Ackerman,Mauricio Fernández Otárola,Adam P. Karremans +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors observed orchid bees belonging to the genus Euglossa entering the tube formed by the labellum to search for nectar, indicated by their extended proboscis and prolonged visits, some of which exited the labellar tube with pollen masses attached to their scutellum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vanilla karenchristianae (Orchidaceae): taxonomic notes and first record in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
TL;DR: In this article , the authors report the occurrence of V. karenchristianae in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest and present a morphological description of the newly found population in the state of Bahía, Brazil, and the materials collected in other sites of Brazil and deposited in herbaria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-species-specific pollen transfer and double-reward production in euglossine-pollinated Vanilla.
TL;DR: In this article , the role of the flower rewards and pollinator specificity in the pollen transfer of a widely distributed member to the euglossinophilous Vanilla clade, V. pompona Schiede, was investigated.

TL;DR: An updated inventory of Brazilian seed plants is presented and offers important insights into the country's biodiversity as mentioned in this paper, with the publication of the Plants and Fungi Catalogue, and has been updated since by more than 430 specialists working online.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms and evolution of deceptive pollination in orchids
TL;DR: It is suggested that floral deception is particularly beneficial, because of its promotion of outcrossing, when pollinators are abundant, but that whenpollinators are consistently rare, selection may favour a nectar reward or a shift to autopollination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mimicry and Deception in Pollination
TL;DR: Many flowers produce rewards, usually nectar or pollen or both, but flowers do not always reward pollinators; his observations were on the genus Orchis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Orchid pollination biology.
TL;DR: Recent advances in orchid pollination biology center mainly on floral evolutionary processes, pseudocopulation and other deceptive pollination systems, and flower and fruit production in relation to costs of sexual reproduction.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of bat pollination: a phylogenetic perspective
TL;DR: It is proposed that flower-visiting bats provide two important benefits to plants: they deposit large amounts of pollen and a variety of pollen genotypes on plant stigmas and, compared with many other pollinators, they are long-distance pollen dispersers.
