POLLINATION SUCCESS IN A DECEPTIVE ORCHID IS ENHANCED BY CO-OCCURRING REWARDING MAGNET PLANTS
TLDR
Results provide support for the existence of a facilitative magnet species effect in the interaction between certain nectar plants and A. morio at a site in Sweden.

The evolution of flowers with deep corolla tubes
TLDR
It was found that insects do indeed insert their probosces no further than necessary to obtain nectar; that an experimental reduction in flower depth reduces both the male and female components of fitness; and that in natural populations there is a correlation between flower depth and female fitness measured by fruit set.

Processes of isolation and introgressive interplay between Platanthera bifolia (L.) Rich and P. chlorantha (Custer) Reichb. (Orchidaceae)
TLDR
Platanthera bifolia and P. chlorantha are highly specialized for pollination by crepuscular and nocturnal Lepidoptera and are largely sympatric, have overlapping flowering-times, and are completely interfertile.

POLLEN CARRYOVER, GEITONOGAMY, AND THE EVOLUTION OF DECEPTIVE POLLINATION SYSTEMS IN ORCHIDS
TLDR
The data indicated that the evolution of nectar production in deceptive Orchis species would result in moderate to high levels of geitonogamy, as a consequence of the greater number of flowers probed and longer visit duration by pollinators, however, the estimated levels were less than expected.

Anthecology of Orchis mascula (Orchidaceae)
TLDR
Floral morphology indicates that the plant's anthecological specialisation to bees as a group implies a graded unspecialisation to each species of bee in the legitimate pollinator group.

Mimesis of bellflower (Campanula) by the red helleborine orchid Cephalanthera rubra
TLDR
C. rubra mimics the floral coloration of Campanula in the bee visual system and thereby receives pollination service by the Chelostoma males, phenologically matching and efficiently exploiting the male bee population.

Floral scents in butterfly-pollinated plants: possible convergence in chemical composition
TLDR
The study explores whether or not there are convergent patterns in floral scent composition among plant species that completely or partially rely on butterflies for pollination, and identifies certain compounds emitted exclusively by the flowers of many of the investigated species in major amounts.
