Taxonomy & Evolution

No need for orchids: mycorrhizal fungi do not depend on their hosts in Australia

Several fungi had distributions extending into central and northern parts of the continent, illustrating their tolerance of an extraordinarily wide range of environmental conditions.

The orchid that’s running out of time

Ophrys sphegodes, the early spider-orchid, is a plant with a very short pollination window. The changing climate is closing that window more and more often as the planet warms.

Pollination by sexual deception in Pterostylis

A single species of male gnat (Mycetophilidae) visits and pollinates the rewardless flowers of P. sanguinea. The gnats often show probing copulatory behaviour on the labellum, leading to its triggering and the temporary entrapment of the gnat in the flower.

Nectary evolution in Disa orchids
