Pre-pollination isolation by pollinator specificity: settling moth versus hawkmoth pollination in two sympatric Habenaria species (Orchidaceae)
Differences in floral morphology and nectar volume/concentration appear to contribute to segregating members of the pollinator guild of some Habenaria species. These findings offer new insights to our understanding of the partitioning of pollinators between co-blooming congeners in the Orchidaceae.
