Do sun orchids mimic buzz‐pollinated plants? An experimental test of the adaptive significance of false anthers
1 INTRODUCTION Mimicry provides a multitude of fascinating examples of adaptation by natural selection, spanning the tree of life (Dalziell & Welbergen, 2016; De Jager & Anderson, 2019; Jamie, 2017; Joron & Mallet, 1998). In plants, some of the most well-known cases include rewardless plants that attract pollinating insects by resembling co-flowering rewarding species (Johnson & Schiestl, 2016; Renner, 2006). This is known as Batesian floral mimicry and occurs in 32 plant families (Renner, 2006).
Does Climate Change Pose a Threat to the Guild Mimicry System of Australian Orchids?
1 Introduction Global warming is one of the most ubiquitous threats to global biodiversity (Urban, 2015) causing numerous abiotic (salinity, drought and UV-B radiation (Puja and Arup Kumar 2023)) and biotic alterations (e.g., competition and facilitation, herbivory and pollination, mycorrhiza, parasitism, mutualism) (Blois et al. 2013) which can further accelerate biodiversity crisis. These include climatic niche shifts (Guisan et al.
Evidence of introduced honeybees (Apis mellifera) as pollen wasters in orchid pollination - Scientific Reports
Abstract Biological invasions threaten global biodiversity, altering landscapes, ecosystems, and mutualistic relationships like pollination. Orchids are one of the most threatened plant families, yet the impact of invasive bees on their reproduction remains poorly understood. We conduct a global literature survey on the incidence of invasive honeybees (Apis mellifera) on orchid pollination, followed by a study case on Australian orchids.
