Armament imbalances: match and mismatch in plant-pollinator traits of highly specialized long-spurred orchids.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Some species of long-spurred orchids achieve pollination by a close association with long-tongued hawkmoths. Among them, several Habenaria species present specialized mechanisms, where pollination success depends on the attachment of pollinaria onto the heads of hawkmoths with very lo...
