Geographical variation in the reproductive biology of widespread species often occurs at their
distributional boundaries. We sought to determine whether such variation has occurred in …

In many flowering plants the attraction of pollinators is related to some kind of deception.
Pollination by food-deception occurs in several angiosperm groups and is particularly …

Commonly attributed to orchids, the pollen movement in Vanilla has been associated with
food deception and specific plant–pollinator relationships. This study investigated the role of …

… new insights into the enigmatic seed dispersal in Vanilla (Pansarin, 2021a). Nonetheless, …

The tribe Pogonieae of Vanilloideae (Orchidaceae) consists of six genera, including
Pogoniopsis, a myco-heterotrophic taxon with morphological characteristics distinct from the …

Most flowering plants need biotic vectors for pollen transfer. Consequently, the emergence
and maintenance of floral attributes are driven by selection generated by pollinators. As a …

The genus Vanilla is the most diverse in V anilloideae, with ca 90 species distributed among
tropical regions. Despite their economic importance, studies on pollination of Vanilla are …

The reproductive biology and pollination mechanisms of Govenia utriculata (Sw.) Lindl. were
studied in a mesophytic semideciduous forest at Serra do Japi, south‐eastern Brazil. The …

Floral volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are important signals in plant-pollinator communication
and thus subjected to olfactory-mediated selection. Occasionally, phylogenetically …
