Recent studies have revealed remarkable complexity and diversity in
orchid-pollinator relationships. These studies comprise a vast
literature currently scattered in numerous, often obscure, journals
and books. The Pollination Biology of North American Orchids brings
together, for the first time, a comprehensive treatment of this
information for all native and introduced North American orchids
found north of Mexico and Florida. It provides detailed information
on genetic compatibility, breeding systems, pollinators,
pollination mechanisms, fruiting success, and limiting factors for
each species. Distribution, habitat, and floral morphology are also
summarized. In addition, detailed line drawings emphasize orchid
reproductive organs and their adaptation to known pollinators.
This, the second of two volumes, treats the subfamily Orchidoideae
with the tribe Cranichideae. This is followed by examination of the
seven North American tribes of subfamily Epidendroideae and the
single North American tribe of subfamily Vanilloideae. The
Pollination Biology of North American Orchids will be of interest
to both regional and international audiences including: Researchers
and students in this field of study who are currently required to
search through the scattered literature to obtain the information
gathered here. Researchers and students in related fields with an
interest in the co-evolution of plants and insects. Conservation
specialists who need to understand both the details of orchid
reproduction and the identity of primary pollinators in order to
properly manage the land for both. Orchid breeders who require
accurate and current information on orchid breeding systems.
General readers with an interest in orchid biology. Charles Argue,
Ph.D., is a plant biologist at the University of Minnesota
specializing in the study of pollen grains. His articles have
appeared in numerous journals including the American Journal of
Botany, International Journal of Plant Sciences (formerly Botanical
Gazette), Botany (formerly Canadian Journal of Botany), Grana,
Pollen et Spores, North American Native Orchid Journal, The Native
Orchid Conference Journal, Fremontia, and as chapters in a number
of books. .
