The waiting room hypothesis revisited by orchids: were orchid mycorrhizal fungi recruited among root endophytes?
Background As in most land plants, the roots of orchids (Orchidaceae) associate with soil
fungi. Recent studies have highlighted the diversity of the fungal partners involved, mostly …

Interactions among mycorrhizal fungi enhance the early development of a Mediterranean orchid
Orchids depend on mycorrhizal fungi to germinate from seed. While multiple orchid
mycorrhizal (OrM) taxa are often found associated with adult orchids, the relative …

Increasing pollen production at high latitudes across animal‐pollinated flowering plants
Aim Plant reliance on animal mutualists is expected to decrease with latitude owing to
increasing environmental instability. As a consequence, more erratic animal pollination in …

Similarity in mycorrhizal communities associating with two widespread terrestrial orchids decays with distance
Aim Interactions with mycorrhizal fungi are increasingly recognized as an important factor
underlying the distribution and abundance of orchid species. However, the geographical …

Range Size and Niche Breadth as Predictors of Climate-Induced Habitat Change in Epipactis (Orchidaceae)
While there is mounting evidence that ongoing changes in the climate system are shifting
species ranges poleward and to higher altitudes, responses to climate change vary …
