Drivers of ecological niche breadth in partially mycoheterotrophic orchids and implications for future distributions KU Leuven
Many orchid species are dependent on mycorrhizal fungi as well as pollinators for reproduction and seed germination. Adaptation to different mycorrhizal species and habitat conditions may contribute to speciation in orchids through reproductive isolation; however, the role of mycorrhizal communities in promoting divergence in orchid taxa is not yet clearly defined. This research investigates whether adaptation to different mycorrhizal species ...
