Natural pollination of Vanilla species is not well understood. Our research focused on understanding the pollinator attraction mechanism of the Neotropical species Vanilla pompona. We hypothesize that the identified pollinator Eulaema cingulata is attracted through a dual mechanism of floral fragrance rewards and food deception.
Natural pollination of Vanilla species remains poorly understood. Our research aimed at better understanding the pollinator attraction mechanism of the Neotropical species Vanilla pompona. Based on our results, we hypothesize that the identified pollinator Eulaema cingulata is attracted via a dual mechanism combining floral fragrance rewards and food deception. Abstract in Spanish is available with online material.
