Plant ecology: Vanilla lures both insects and mammals to disperse its seeds and fruits
Current biology : CB(2023)
摘要
A new study shows that Vanilla species are unique among orchids for having evolved a multimodal mechanism of seed and fruit dispersal. Bees inadvertently transport seeds externally while collecting fragrance or nest material from dehiscent fruits. Rodents and marsupials consume and disperse aromatic fleshy fruits and the crustose seeds within.
