Where do all the Epipactis orchids come from?
Botanists use the orchid genus Epipactis as a model for speciation, but unravelling its family tree has been difficult.
RAD-seq and morphology clarify evolutionary relationships in Eurasian bee orchids
Eurasian bee orchids (Ophrys, Orchidaceae) have become the most popular model system for studying reproduction via insect-mediated pseudo-copulation and for exploring the consequent, putatively adaptive, evolutionary...
