Oeceoclades maculata, an alien tropical orchid in a Caribbean rainforest.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Undisturbed forest habitat can be relatively impenetrable to invasive, non-native species. Orchids are not commonly regarded as invasive, but some species have become invasive and these generally depend on habitat disturbance. One of the most aggressive orchids is Oeceoclades maculata, a terrestrial species with remarkable ecological amplitude. Originally from tropical Afric...

متن کاملOrchid bees
protozoa, such as those that cause sleeping sickness, leishmaniasis, and even malaria, predominantly reproduce clonally, which is, of course, of considerable medical significance. In May 1991, Tibayrenc returned to my lab, now at UC Irvine, for 14 months of additional research. We have continued collaborating to the present. Are science and religion compatible?

متن کاملCell-specific expression of plant nutrient transporter genes in orchid mycorrhizae.
Orchid mycorrhizal protocorms and roots are heterogeneous structures composed of different plant cell-types, where cells colonized by intracellular fungal coils (the pelotons) are close to non-colonized plant cells. Moreover, the fungal coils undergo rapid turnover inside the colonized cells, so that plant cells containing coils at different developmental stages can be observed in the same tiss...
متن کاملSpecies distribution modelling for conservation of an endangered endemic orchid
Concerns regarding the long-term viability of threatened and endangered plant species are increasingly warranted given the potential impacts of climate change and habitat fragmentation on unstable and isolated populations. Orchidaceae is the largest and most diverse family of flowering plants, but it is currently facing unprecedented risks of extinction. Despite substantial conservation emphasi...
