- W2176195300 abstract "The pantropical orchid genus Vanilla has a diverse floral morphology and there is alack of knowledge about the pollination biology of its species in all geographicalareas except the American tropics. The present study investigated the pollinationbiology of the endemic Vanilla bosseri Allorge in a dry, deciduous forest nearMorondava at the west coast in Madagascar. The total and flower producingpopulation was estimated. Floral measurements and visitor observations wereconducted and the floral phenology and anthesis were investigated. A breedingexperiment with three treatments, cross-pollination, self-pollination and pollinatorexclusion, suggest that V. bosseri is allogamous but self-compatible, and dependenton pollinators for its reproduction. Natural fruit set was low, 3.96%, less than onetenththan that of hand-pollinated flowers, suggesting the species is pollen limitedpossibly due to low pollinator visitation. Flower morphology clearly indicates that thespecies is bee pollinated. The study shows that the orchid acts by deceit and attractspollinators through generalized food flower deception. The main visitor, theallodopine bee Macrogalea ellioti, is most likely not the effective pollinator, butinstead a pollen thief that occasionally acts as a pollinator. Floral morphology andpollination mechanism indicate that an effective pollinator would have an operativesize similar to that of medium sized bees such as Lithurgus pullatus or Tetraloniellamadecassa, but further studies are needed to reveal the relative impact of accidentaland regular pollinator bee species." @default.
