| contents | NOCTUID MOTHS AS POTENTIAL HYBRIDIZATION AGENTS FOR PLATANTHERA ORCHIDS Fabiana Esposito Thomas Merckx Daniel Tyteca Biología macro moths light traps Platanthera pollination Zoophilous flowering plants communicate with pollinators to ensure pollen transfer. Pin-pointing which species are effective pollinators is not only essential to better understand plant-pollinator networks, but equally so to better understand the potential of hybridization in plant systems, such as in orchids. As a case study, we studied two sympatric populations of the congeneric orchids Platanthera bifolia and P. chlorantha in order to assess their nocturnal pollinators by checking which moth species carried pollinaria, and of which orchid species. Moths carrying Platanthera pollinaria were photographed and identified. The carried pollinaria were identified and counted, and their attachment position on the moth’s head was scored. Based on these observations we show that three species of noctuid moths visited the Platanthera inflorescences. Although Noctua pronuba visited P. chlorantha, only Cucullia umbratica and Autographa gamma turned out to be potential pollinators for both orchid species. As such, we here demonstrate that the latter two noctuids have high potential to facilitate hybridization among these two orchid species, especially so in sympatric populations. 2017 artículo científico 1409-3871 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=44355365002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/443/44355365002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/443/44355365002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/443/44355365002/44355365002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/443/44355365002/movil 10.15517/lank.v17i3.31576 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=443 Lankesteriana International Journal on Orchidology application/pdf Universidad de Costa Rica Lankesteriana International Journal on Orchidology (Costa Rica) Num.3 Vol.17 |
