ABSTRACT

The extraordinary taxonomic and morphological diversity of orchids is accompanied by a remarkable range ofpollinators and pollination systems. Sexually deceptive orchids are adapted to attract specific male insects that are fooledinto attempting to mate with orchid flowers and inadvertently acting as pollinators. This review summarises currentknowledge, explores new hypotheses in the literature, and introduces some new approaches to understanding sexualdeception from the perspective of the duped pollinator. Four main topics are addressed: (1) global patterns in sexualdeception, (2) pollinator identities, mating systems and behaviours, (3) pollinator perception of orchid deceptive signals,and (4) the evolutionary implications of pollinator responses to orchid deception, including potential costs imposed onpollinators by orchids. A global list of known and putative sexually deceptive orchids and their pollinators is providedand methods for incorporating pollinator perspectives into sexual deception research are provided and reviewed.

At present, almost all known sexually deceptive orchid taxa are from Australia or Europe. A few sexually deceptivespecies and genera are reported for New Zealand and South Africa. In Central and Southern America, Asia, and thePacific many more species are likely to be identified in the future. Despite the great diversity of sexually deceptive orchidgenera in Australia, pollination rates reported in the literature are similar between Australian and European species.The typical pollinator of a sexually deceptive orchid is a male insect of a species that is polygynous, monandrous,haplodiploid, and solitary rather than social. Insect behaviours involved in the pollination of sexually deceptive orchidsinclude pre-copulatory gripping of flowers, brief entrapment, mating, and very rarely, ejaculation. Pollinator behaviourvaries within and among pollinator species.

Deception involving orchid mimicry of insect scent signals is becoming well understood for some species, butvisual and tactile signals such as colour, shape, and texture remain neglected. Experimental manipulations that testfor function, multi-signal interactions, and pollinator perception of these signals are required. Furthermore, otherforms of deception such as exploitation of pollinator sensory biases or mating preferences merit more comprehensiveinvestigation. Application of molecular techniques adapted from model plants and animals is likely to deliver newinsights into orchid signalling, and pollinator perception and behaviour.

There is little current evidence that sexual deception drives any species-level selection on pollinators. Pollinators dolearn to avoid deceptive orchids and their locations, but this is not necessarily a response specific to orchids. Even insystems where evidence suggests that orchids do interfere with pollinator mating opportunities, considerable furtherresearch is required to determine whether this is sufficient to impose selection on pollinators or generate antagonisticcoevolution or an arms race between orchids and their pollinators.

Botanists, taxonomists and chemical ecologists have made remarkable progress in the study of deceptive orchidpollination. Further complementary investigations from entomology and behavioural ecology perspectives shouldprove fascinating and engender a more complete understanding of the evolution and maintenance of such enigmaticplant-animal interactions.

Key words: orchid, pollinator behaviour, mating behaviour, insects, floral scent, colour and shape, mimicry, sensorybiases, learning, evolution.

I. INTRODUCTION

Sexual deception is an extreme form of pollinator specialisa-tion in which an orchid lures its pollinator with fraudulent sexsignals. Male insects fooled into sexual behaviour with orchidflowers inadvertently collect or deliver the pollinia and donot receive floral rewards such as nectar or pollen (Schiestl,2005; Jersakova, Johnson & Kindlmann, 2006a). In spe-cialist pollination systems, flowers are unconstrained by thestabilising selection that limits generalist pollination systemsto floral forms suiting several pollinators (Cresswell, 1998;2000). Instead, specialist flowers can evolve specific fitness-enhancing adaptations to their pollinator, e.g. corollas thatmatch pollinator tonguelength (Alexandersson & Johnson,2002; Rodríguez-Girones & Santamaría, 2007; Muchhala& Thomson, 2009). Sexually deceptive orchids are highlyspecialised and typically pollinator-specific, thus pollinatorpreferences and pollinator-driven selection are likely to bestrongly directional and influence orchid floral features anddiversity (Peakall & Handel, 1993; Cozzolino & Widmer,2005; Mant, Peakall & Schiestl, 2005d; Schiestl & Schluter,2009). Investigation of how pollinators and their behavioursmight affect the evolution and maintenance of sexual decep-tion by orchids provides new insights into this intriguingsubject.

Sexual deception relies on the pollinator’s sexual ratherthan foraging behaviour, suggesting insect sexual behaviouris crucial in driving the evolution of orchid features. Analysisof the sexual behaviours stimulated by orchids and the nat-ural mating systems of pollinators in the absence of orchidscould reveal which types of insects and behaviours permit and

maintain deception. Furthermore, as sexual deception reliesupon exploiting pollinator sensory ecology, insect perceptionof signals is fundamental for selection on orchid features.Insects are capable of sophisticated learning, memory, andcognition (Dukas, 2008), which are also likely to affect orchidsignals and the evolution of deception.

Recent reviews discuss the mechanisms of orchiddeception and the selective pressures on orchids influencingthe evolution of deception (Schiestl, 2005; Jersakova et al.,2006a; Schaefer & Ruxton, 2009; Vereecken, 2009), and howorchid ecology, pollination biology, genetics, mycorrhizalassociations, and environmental factors affect orchidspeciation (Tremblay, 1992; Vasquez, Ibisch & Gerkmann,2003; Gravendeel et al., 2004; Cozzolino & Widmer, 2005;Tremblay et al., 2005; Peakall, 2007; Schluter & Schiestl,2008; Waterman & Bidartondo, 2008; Phillips et al., 2009a;Schiestl & Schluter, 2009). Here, however, sexually deceptivepollination is considered from the pollinator perspective.

This review summarises current knowledge, explores newhypotheses in the literature, and introduces some newapproaches as to how pollinators and their mating sys-tems, behaviour, sensory perception and diversity couldinfluence the evolution of sexual deception. Contemporaryand historic data are synthesised and evaluated from bothbroadlyaccessible and lesser-known sources, and from experi-ments, comparative studies, and natural history observations.The first part of this review concerns pollinators and theirbehaviour during pollination. Pollinator identity and naturalmating systems are surveyed and broad patterns in pollinatorsexual behaviours during visits to different types of orchidsare identified. Evidence for sexual deception in the poorly

known Pterostylis complex is evaluated. The second and majorelement of this review discusses orchid signals and the mecha-nisms of deception by considering how orchids mimic femaleinsects and exploit male insects’ sensory biases. Attempts toanalyse pollinator perception of orchid scent and colour sig-nals are reviewed and topics for productive further researchare identified. The third section of this review addressesthe question of whether sexual deception could involveavoidance learning by pollinators, corresponding selectionon pollinators by orchids, and consequently coevolutionbetween orchids and pollinators. I evaluate whether orchidscould impose costs on their pollinators at the individual,population, or species level. Finally, I propose some futuredirections promoting research into pollinator perspectives.

Reflecting current knowledge, this review focuses pri-marily on European and Australian orchid species. Speciesfrom Central and Southern America, South Africa and NewZealand have been the subjects of fewer studies and conse-quently, they are covered in less detail here. The taxonomyof Australasian orchids is undergoing considerable revision(see Hopper, 2009). I use the most commonly recognisedgenera and species names, with reference to the AustralianPlant Names Index (Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research,2008). Table 1 also provides the newer names for generafrom revisions by Jones (2006). European orchids are namedaccording to the International Plant Names Index (2008) andDelforge (2005). European pollinator names are accordingto Fauna Europaea (2004).

II. POLLINATION BY SEXUAL DECEPTION

Although an absence of floral rewards occurs at leastintermittently in species from almost all major angiospermgroups, obligatory deception is most common amongstorchids (Schiestl, 2005; Renner, 2006). Many orchid speciesare ‘food-deceptive’ in that they resemble rewarding flowersbut do not provide food rewards, and are pollinated byfemale and male insects attempting to feed from the flowers(Jersakova et al., 2006a). Sexual deception is less commonthan food deception in the orchids, but has nonethelessevolved multiple times in different lineages (Kores et al., 2001;Cozzolino & Widmer, 2005). Currently, there are thoughtto be 11 sexually deceptive genera in Australia: Arthrochilus,Caladenia (including synonyms according to Jones (2006),e.g. Arachnorchis and Jonesiopsis), Caleana, Calochilus, Chiloglottis

( including synonyms Myrmechila and Simpliglottis), Cryptostylis,Drakaea, Leporella, Paracaleana (synonymous with Sullivania),Pterostylis (including synonyms, e.g. Diplodium, Linguella,Oligochaetochilus and Urochilus), and Spiculaea (see Table 1 forspecies with known pollinators; Figs 1 and 2 for images).In New Zealand, several of these genera are representedby endemic species or occasional vagrants from Australia(Caladenia, Caleana, Calochilus, Chiloglottis, Cryptostylis, andPterostylis; St George, 1999). However, conclusive pollinatoridentifications and evidence of sexual deception amongstNew Zealand species is largely absent. Tentative pollinator

identifications for some potentially sexually deceptive NewZealand species are listed in Table 1. The accepted numberof sexually deceptive genera in Australia is likely to change ifreports of sexual deception in Pterostylis cannot be confirmedor if the proposed taxonomic splitting of Caladenia, Chiloglottis

and Pterostylis is upheld (Jones & Clements, 2003; Jones, 2006;Hopper, 2009; see Section IV.3; seeTable 1 for synonyms).

In Europe, there is a diversity of food-deceptive orchidgenera, but sexual deception is restricted to the largeand well-studied genus Ophrys, and a single species of therelated and generally food-deceptive genus Orchis (Table 1;Bino, Dafni & Meeuse, 1982; Widmer, Cozzolino & Dafni,2001). Perhaps surprisingly, only two South African sexuallydeceptive species are known, both from the well-studied andgenerally rewarding or food-deceptive genus Disa (Table 1;Steiner, Whitehead & Johnson, 1994; Johnson, Linder &Steiner, 1998). Although no sexually deceptive orchids areknown for North America, sexual deception is confirmedfor species from eight South and Central American orchidgenera, and more cases are likely to be recognised in thefuture (Table 1; Dodson, 1962; Dod, 1976; Calvo, 1990;van der Cingel, 2001; Singer, 2002; Singer et al., 2004;Blanco & Barboza, 2005; Ciotek et al., 2006). For example,although only two Central American Lepanthes species arelisted in Table 1, this is a diverse and highly regionallyendemic neotropical genus and sexual deception is suspectedfor many species (Vasquez et al., 2003; Blanco & Barboza,2005; Schiestl, 2005). Similarly, there are approximately 15potentially sexually deceptive Cryptostylis species distributedthroughout the Asia-Pacific region, but sexual deceptionis confirmed for only the five species from Australia andNew Zealand (Jones, 2006; Table 1). Subantarctic sexualdeception is also a possibility; Chiloglottis and Pterostylis speciesgrow on New Zealand’s subantarctic islands (Meurk, Foggo& Wilson, 1994; Molloy, 2002).

When data from food- and sexually deceptive orchidsare combined, pollination success is higher in southerntemperate regions (41.4%) than in the tropics (11.5%),North America (19.5%) and Europe (27.7%; Neiland &Wilcock, 1998). However, if the dataset includes onlysexually deceptive orchid species (Table 1), there is nosignificant difference in the pollination rates of flowersfrom southern temperate Australia and from Europe(mean ± S.D; Australia: 18.4 ± 11.4%, N = 21; Europe:18.4 ± 17.4%, N = 8; ANOVA F1,28 = 0.04, P = 0.95).Insufficient data for sexually deceptive species elsewhereprevents comparisons for these regions (see Table 1 for asummary of the pollination rates reported in the literature).

III. POLLINATORS OF SEXUALLY DECEPTIVEORCHIDS

Sexually deceptive orchid species typically exploit one orfew specific pollinator species, (Table 1), and may havedifferent pollinators in different regions (e.g. Chiloglot-

tis species; Bower & Brown, 2009). A single insect

Orchid pollination by sexual deception 59

Fig. 1. Sexually deceptive tongue orchids, Cryptostylis species,are remarkably morphologically disparate, yet share a singlepollinator, males of the parasitoid wasp Lissopimpla excelsa(Ichneumonidae).

species may also pollinate more than one sexually deceptiveorchid species in different regions (see Table 1 for repeatedpollinator species). Avoidance of cross-pollination (pre-pollination or pre-zygotic isolation) is generally achievedvia differences in scent compounds or odour blends (e.g.Mant et al., 2002; Schiestl & Ayasse, 2002). Less commonly,hybridisation is prevented by differences in pollinator flightand flowering times, floral height, or the location of polliniaattachment on the pollinating insect (Schiestl & Peakall, 2005;Paulus, 2006; Bower & Brown, 2009). Sympatric species ofsexually deceptive orchids rarely share a pollinator and corre-spondingly, post-pollination or post-zygotic isolation factorsare weak or uncommon (Scopece et al., 2007; Cozzolino &Scopece, 2008). However, post-pollination isolation factorshave been suggested for two pairs of sympatric Ophrys speciesfrom Sardinia: Ophrys chestermanii and O. normanii are geneti-cally distinct, but similarly scented and share their pollinator,male Bombus vestalis (Gogler et al., 2009), and Ophrys iricolor

and O. incubacea are natural hybrids that are also similarlyscented and share their pollinator, male Andrena morio (Cortis

Fig. 2. In many Australian orchid species, the labellum isattached by a flexible hinge. When a pollinator grips thelabellum, he is flung into the stigma and pollinia. Examples oforchids with hinged labellae are (A) Paracaleana nigrita (B) Drakaeaglyptodon, (C) Caleana major, and (D) Caladenia cairnsiana.

et al., 2009). Post-pollination isolation is also confirmed forfour Australian sexually deceptive Cryptostylis species thatare often sympatric and share their single pollinator (maleLissopimpla excelsa; Ichneumonidae), but do not hybridise innature or when cross-pollinated by hand (Dacy, 1974; Jones,1988; Backhouse & Jeanes, 1995). Cryptostylis species differ inchromosome numbers, a common mechanism of incompat-ibility in food-deceptive orchid species (Dawson, Molloy &Beuzenberg, 2007; Cozzolino & Scopece, 2008).

(1) Pollinator identities

Although some rewarding orchid species are pollinated bybirds (Singer & Sazima, 2000; Johnson & Brown, 2004;Micheneau, Fournel & Pailler, 2006), no other vertebratessuch as rodents or bats are reported as orchid pollinators,and only insects are involved in sexually deceptive pollina-tion (Table 1). The typical pollinator of a sexually deceptiveorchid is male, an insect, and solitary rather than social(Gaskett, Winnick & Herberstein, 2008; see Table 1 forpollinator species, families and orders). The few reportsof female insects visiting orchids in potentially sexually

60 A. C. Gaskett

deceptive pollination systems require further substantiation.For example, early reports of pollination of Pterostylis orchidsby female mosquitoes (Coleman, 1934; Table 1) are drawnfrom a single observation and it is unclear whether pollinationinvolved any sexual behaviour.

Solitary and parasitoid wasps are the most commonpollinators of sexually deceptive orchids (Table 1). Suchspecialised pollination by wasps is rare in almost all othergroups of flowering plants, except figs (Johnson, 2005). Thyn-nine, ichneumonid and scoliid wasps pollinate species frommost Australian sexually deceptive orchid genera, and sphe-cid and pompilid wasps pollinate both South African Disa

species (Table 1). European Ophrys species are predominantlypollinated by solitary bees in the families Andrenidae, Col-letidae, Megachilidae, and Apidae (but see Section III.3, andfamilies of pollinators listed in Table 1).

(2) Pollinator mating systems and traits

The mating systems of solitary wasps and bees have severalfeatures that may facilitate or pre-adapt them to exploita-tion by sexually deceptive orchids. These features couldinclude: male attraction to airborne sex signals (allowingsignal mimicry and long-distance attraction by orchids),intense male searching and vigilance for sex signals (encour-aging rapid response to orchids), vigorous mating behaviour(ensuring pollinia transfer between the orchid and pollina-tor), and polygyny (ensuring a pollinator visits more than oneorchid, permitting both pollinia collection and delivery). Cor-respondingly, male hymenoptera from solitary species aretypically strongly attracted to the airborne sex pheromonesof female conspecifics (Ridley, 1993; Godfray & Cook, 1997).Male bees and wasps are also generally highly vigilant andrespond quickly to female pheromones. Female monandryor first-male sperm precedence imposes strong selection onthese males to secure paternity by rapidly finding and matingwith virgin females (Alcock et al., 1978; Eickwort & Ginsberg,1980; Tengo, Eriksson & Borg-Karlson, 1989; Hardy, 1994;El Agoze, Poirie & Periquet, 1995; Paxton, 2005; Damiens &Boivin, 2006). For example, the solitary bee Colletes cunicular-

ius is the sole or major pollinator for at least six Ophrys species(Table 1) and has many characteristics lending it to orchidexploitation. Colletes cunicularius is relatively common, thefemales are monandrous, attract mates with sex pheromonesand do not exhibit any courtship behaviour, and the malesare polygynous (Larsson, 1991). Consequently, there is con-siderable competition between male Colletes cunicularius todetect virgin female pheromones quickly and to mate firstwith many females (Cane & Tengo, 1988; Mant et al., 2005b).Male thynnine wasps (family Tiphiidae, subfamily Thynni-nae), which are common pollinators of Australian sexuallydeceptive orchids, have many similar mate-searching andmating behaviours (Burrell, 1935; Alcock, 1981). Therefore,orchids that mimic the sex pheromones of females of theseinsect taxa benefit from the males’ rapid response to scentand enthusiastic and somewhat indiscriminate mating.

Haplodiploid insects are surprisingly common pollina-tors of sexually deceptive orchids (Gaskett et al., 2008). Many

diploid insect orders that are diverse, abundant, and commonpollinators for rewarding orchids and other plants are eitherconspicuously absent (Hemiptera, Lepidoptera, Orthoptera)or scarce (Coleoptera, Diptera) in the pollination of sexuallydeceptive orchids (see Tables 1 and 2 for pollinator types).This may reflect current knowledge (for example, in thefuture more dipteran pollinators of sexually deceptive Lep-

anthes species are likely to be discovered), but haplodiploidymay also provide some advantageous features that facilitatethe maintenance of sexual deception. In haplodiploid insectspecies, fertilised eggs become female offspring and unfer-tilised eggs become male offspring (King, 1987; Hardy, 1994;Heimpel & de Boer, 2008). Therefore, female haplodiploidinsects deprived of matings (because male insects are matingwith orchids) can still reproduce, although all their offspringmust be sons. In this manner, haplodiploidy could moder-ate orchid interference in pollinator reproduction, and evengenerate extra males to act as pollinators (Gaskett et al.,2008). A further consequence of haplodiploidy is that selec-tion imposed on male insects by orchids cannot be inheriteddirectly by their sons because any eggs fertilised by a male’ssperm always become daughters. Selection on a male musttherefore always operate indirectly via his daughters andthen on her sons, effectively doubling the intergenerationaldelay in any response to orchid exploitation. However, indi-rect selection in any solitary hymenoptera appears largelyunstudied and research into this topic using the pollina-tors of sexually deceptive orchids would make a significantcontribution to general understanding of haplodiploidy andindirect selection.

(3) Exceptions to the general types of pollinators

Not all pollinators of sexually deceptive orchids are soli-tary, haplodiploid hymenoptera. For example male socialbees pollinate South American Trigonidium obtusum and Mor-

molyca ringens, and European Orchis galilea (Bino et al., 1982;Singer, 2002; Singer et al., 2004). Male social ants pollinateAustralian Leporella fimbriata, however no social interactionsare observed between these males (Peakall, 1989). Diploidflies (Diptera) pollinate Central American genera, and theincidence of fly pollination is almost certain to increase asfurther studies are undertaken on orchids from this region(Calvo, 1990; Christensen, 1994; van der Cingel, 2001;Blanco & Barboza, 2005). A hoverfly (Syrphidae; Diptera)is an occasional pollinator of European Ophrys holoserica, aspecies primarily pollinated by anthophorid bees (Table 1;Paulus, 2006). Many Australian and New Zealand mem-bers of Pterostylis and synonymous genera are also potentiallypollinated by diploid diptera, principally flies and fungusgnats (Christensen, 1994; Table 1). However, the extent ofsexual deception in Pterostylis is unclear (see Section IV.3).Sexual deception of diploid beetle pollinators (Coleoptera)is documented for Ophrys blithopertha, Ophrys fuciflora, andOphrys urteae, and is occasionally observed for Ophrys holoserica

(Delforge, 2005; Paulus, 2006; Tyteca, Rois & Vereecken,2006; Paulus, 2009).

IV. POLLINATOR BEHAVIOURS

(1) Pollinator behaviour and the origins of sexualdeception

Although pollination by sexual deception is confirmed onlyfor orchids, Kullenberg (1961) reported sexual behaviour bya sphecid wasp on flowers of Guiera senegalensis Lam. (Com-bretaceae), and sexual deception is a compelling explanationfor the nectarless and insectiform flowers of Gilliesia graminea

Lindl. (Alliaceae; Rudall et al., 2002). These cases are yetto be confirmed. Despite the prevalence of sexual decep-tion amongst orchids, pollination involving some form ofinsect sexual behaviour may actually precede the evolutionof orchids. Early floral scents that evolved initially to protectplant reproductive organs from insect herbivory are likely tohave resembled the sex pheromones of other insects (Pellmyr& Thien, 1986; Harrewijn, Minks & Mollema, 1994; Gang,2005). Consequently, insects were likely to aggregate andmate on the flowers and coincidentally function as pollina-tors. For many modern insect species, plant and floral scentsstill enhance insect sex pheromone release and attractiveness(for a review, see Reddy & Guerrero, 2004).

In orchids, phylogenetic comparisons suggest that sexualdeception evolved from food deception, which is commonamongst primitive, nectarless orchid groups, although someof these orchids do provide pollen as a reward (Cozzolino& Widmer, 2005). Surveying pollinator behaviour withina genus could indicate how the transition between foodand sexual deception may occur, and whether elements ofboth systems can coexist. For example, different species ofAustralian Donkey orchids (genus Diuris) reward or deceiveforaging insects, and potentially, exploit aspects of pollinatorsexual behaviour. Diuris alba appears to be a rewardingspecies; it provides nectar and has several pollinator species,whereas Diuris aurea is food-deceptive and has severalpollinators (Indsto et al., 2007). Diuris pedunculata providesnectar, but an early report suggests it is pollinated only bymale bees of Halictus lanuginosus, perhaps suggesting some sex-based pollination (Coleman, 1932). Another species, Diuris

maculata, has features associated with sexual deception, it lacksnectar and is pollinated by male bees of Tricholetes venustus

(Indsto et al., 2006). However, detailed observations revealno sexual behaviour with orchid flowers (Indsto et al., 2006).In the case of these last two species, Diuris pedunculata andD. maculata, it seems likely that the orchids act as, or mimic,both a foraging site and a rendezvous site for courtingmales, although the lack of female visitors is inconsistentwith observations of other orchid species thought to mimicrendezvous sites (Nilsson, 1983; Steiner, 1998; Jersakovaet al., 2006a). Other orchids proposed to employ aspectsof both pollinator foraging and sexual behaviour includeEuropean Orchis galilaea (Bino et al., 1982) and AustralianCaladenia patersonii (Stoutamire, 1983), and possibly JapaneseCymbidium pumilum (Sasaki et al., 1991). However, there isscarce empirical evidence that any orchid species employsboth sexual and food deception (Faast et al., 2009). Inthese putative cases, detailed observations are required to

confirm pollinator species and sex, and document any sexualbehaviour.

Phylogenetic analysis of Disa suggests multiple shiftsbetween pollinator types and gains and losses of nectarrewards (Johnson et al., 1998). Similar phylogenetic analysestracing the evolution of sexual deception could be appliedto the Australian genus Caladenia, which has a diversity ofrewarding and food- and sexually deceptive pollination sys-tems and considerable new data now available for analysis(Stoutamire, 1983; Bates, 1984; Peakall & Beattie, 1996;Hopper & Brown, 2004; Salzmann, Brown & Schiestl,2006; Dixon & Tremblay, 2009; Dixon & Hopper, 2009;Phillips et al., 2009a, b). Table 1 provides the known or puta-tive pollinators for many sexually deceptive orchid species.Lists of pollinators for food-deceptive and rewarding Calade-

nia species are available elsewhere (e.g. Brown et al., 1997;Phillips et al., 2009a).

(2) Pollinator sexual behaviour with orchids

Sexually deceptive orchids elicit a range of sexual behavioursfrom their pollinators. Pollinators of some orchid species doindeed attempt to mate with the orchid, typically by graspingthe large central petal or labellum (Fig. 1; Kullenberg, 1961;Paulus & Gack, 1990; Table 1). This copulatory behaviouroccurs for European Ophrys and Orchis species, Central Amer-ican Lepanthes glicensteinii, South American Mormolyca ringens

and Geoblasta pennicillata, and Australian Calochilus campestris,

Leporella fimbriata, and Cryptostylis species (Coleman, 1928a,1929, 1930; Fordham, 1946; Bino et al., 1982; Peakall, 1989;Bower & Branwhite, 1993; Singer et al., 2004; Blanco &Barboza, 2005; Ciotek et al., 2006). Pollination of AustralianCryptostylis species even involves pollinator ejaculation. Thiswas first suspected by Coleman (1927, 1928a, b) whilstobserving pollinator behaviour on Cryptostylis leptochila, andwas recently confirmed using microscopy and sperm-stainingdye (Gaskett et al., 2008). Ejaculation during orchid pollina-tion is also likely in Lepanthes glicenstenii because scanningelectron microscopy of flowers after pollinator visits revealedputative spermatophores (Blanco & Barboza, 2005). Thereis currently little evidence of pollinator ejaculation for anyother orchid species, but future studies are likely to generatefurther examples, especially amongst lesser-known Lepanthes

and Cryptostylis species.For most Australian sexually deceptive orchid species, suc-

cessful pollination requires only pre-copulatory rather thancopulatory behaviour from the pollinator. When a maleinsect grips or lifts the orchid labellum as if it was a femaleinsect, the labellum bends on a flexible hinge and presses theduped insect into contact with the orchid stigma and pollinia(Bower, 2001e; see Fig. 1D for orchid flower parts). This iscommon for orchids from the diverse genera Caladenia andChiloglottis, the less speciose Arthrochilus, Caleana, Drakaea andParacaleana genera, and the single species from the genus Spic-

ulaea (Fig. 2; Cady, 1965; Stoutamire, 1983; Peakall, 1990;Peakall & Beattie, 1996; Alcock, 2000; Bower, 2001a, b, c,e, f ; Jones et al., 2001; Hopper & Brown, 2006, 2007). Insome species, the sexual behaviour of the pollinator on the

orchid may trigger a floral trap. For example, pollinatorsattempting copulation with Australian Duck orchids, e.g.Caleana major (Fig. 2C) become briefly pinned upside-downbetween an orchid’s hinged labellum and the column, whichbears the stigma and pollinia (Bower, 2001c). Male bees ofPlebeia droryana (Meliponinae) visiting South American Trigo-

nidium obtusum (Maxillariinae) are also briefly trapped afterthey attempt copulation with the sepals or petals and slipon a waxy surface into a floral cavity (Singer, 2002). Thepollinator soon escapes via a hinged floral lip after brushingpast the stigma and pollinia.

(3) Sexual deception by Pterostylis

Pterostylis and synonomous genera comprise a taxonomicallycontentious complex of Australian and New Zealand ter-restrial species (for proposed revisions and various namessee Table 1; Jones & Clements, 2003; Jones, 2006; Hopper,2009). Many species in this group have a floral trap, althoughentrapment does not appear to require copulatory behaviourfrom the pollinator, unlike the traps described above forCaleana and Trigonidium orchid species. When the potentialpollinator touches the sensitive labellum he is catapultedinto a curved hood formed by the dorsal sepal, and canescape only via a narrow passage that forces contact withthe pollinia and stigma (Fig. 2E; Cheeseman, 1872; Sargent,1909; Coleman, 1934; Christensen, 1994; Bernhardt, 1995).Experiments suggest that labellae can be triggered up to threetimes, and regain their position and sensitivity within 3h, orlonger in cool conditions (Sargent, 1909; Bernhardt, 1995).

It is important to note that the occurrence of sexualdeception in Pterostylis spp. is largely based on unpublished oranecdotal evidence (often of considerable antiquity), and pol-linator behaviour for most species in the group is completelyunstudied (Cheeseman, 1872; Thomson, 1878; Darwin,

1885; Sargent, 1909; Jones, 2001; Jones & Clements, 2003;Lehnebach, Robertson & Hedderley, 2005). Although almostall reported pollinators for Pterostylis spp. are male (Table 1),confirming pollinator identity or sexual behaviour is chal-lenging because pollination is rarely observed (see Table 1 forpollination rates). There is some suggestion that the fungusgnat pollinating Pterostylis gibbosa does attempt to mate withthe orchid labellum (National Parks and Wildlife Service,2002), but much remains to be discovered about these enig-matic dipteran-orchid pollination relationships before sexualdeception can be substantiated.

(4) Within-species variation in pollinator behaviour

Within a pollinator species, not all individuals that encounteran orchid are fooled into actual pollination. Some individ-uals approach the orchid but then fly away without landingor attempting sexual behaviour (Table 3). This variationamong individuals could be due to genetic differences inlearning ability (Dukas, 2008), or differing previous expe-rience with orchids (Ayasse et al., 2000). However, priorlearning is not necessary to provoke this variability. Whenorchids are experimentally moved within their pollinator’srange to areas where they do not normally grow, pollinatorresponses still vary even though all the insects attracted musthave no previous experience with sexually deceptive orchids(Bower, 1996). There is probably individual variation ininsect sensory sensitivity or perception of orchid signals, andin the quality or attractiveness of each orchid (Peakall, 1990).Responses are also likely to be affected by spatial variation intemperature and air currents, influencing the local dispersalof orchid scent.

Data extracted from the literature suggest that the per-centage of pollinators attracted and then actually fooled intopollinating an orchid varies consistently among orchid species

depending on the extent of pollinator sexual behaviourelicited by each orchid (Table 3). If orchids are classifiedaccording to the sexual behaviour stimulated from their polli-nators, orchids causing more extreme behaviour have higherpollination success (Gaskett et al., 2008). Analysis of datapresented in Tables 1 and 3 shows there is also a significantcorrelation between the extent of pollinator sexual behaviourand the percentage of attracted insects that are fooled intopollination (partial correlation: 0.84, d.f. = 11, P < 0.001,controlling for the number of pollinator visits observed).Orchids stimulating the most extreme sexual behaviour arethe most likely to fool pollinators into making contact withthe orchid (Fig. 3), suggesting a strong fitness benefit fororchids with persuasive mimicry and deceptive signalling. Itis worth noting that the data available in the literature mayoverestimate pollinator response because it is impossible todetermine the number of insects that did detect an orchid,but did not fly close enough to be counted by an observer.

V. POLLINATOR ABUNDANCE AND DIVERSITY

Insect abundance and diversity could be important factorsinfluencing the reproduction and fitness of sexually deceptiveorchids. Orchid pollination success can vary considerablyamong years and determining lifetime success is difficultgiven the potential longevity of individual plants and thelikelihood of vegetative or clonal reproduction (Neiland &Wilcock, 1998; Tremblay et al., 2005). Although there aresome long-term demographic studies of sexually deceptiveorchids, actual pollination or seed set rates are not neces-sarily reported (e.g. Hutchings, 1987), and most long-term

studies focus on food-deceptive or rewarding orchid species(e.g. Pfeifer, Heinrich & Jetschke, 2006; Zotz & Schmidt,2006). When data for food and sexually deceptive orchidsare combined, the global averages calculated for the ratesof pollination or fruit set per flower are typically low andapproximately half that of rewarding or nectariferous species:25% versus 52.9% (Neiland & Wilcock, 1998) or 20.7% ver-

sus 37.1% (Tremblay et al., 2005), respectively. In Australia,sexually deceptive orchids have lower fruit-set per flowerthan food-deceptive orchids (14% versus 36%; Phillips et al.,2009a). Globally, the literature surveyed for Table 1 showsthat for sexually deceptive orchids, an average of 20.5 ±14.7% of all flowers (mean ± S.D., N = 35 species), oralternatively, 37.5 ± 20.9% of plants (N = 11 species), hadpollinia collected and deposited, or set fruit.

The poor pollination success of sexually deceptive orchidsis generally attributed to a lack of pollinators or pollinatorvisits, rather than any limitation in resources such as wateror nutrients (Peakall, 1989; Calvo, 1993; Neiland & Wilcock,1998; Schiestl, 2005; Tremblay et al., 2005; Zotz & Schmidt,2006; Vandewoestijne et al., 2009). Pollinator limitation maybe a consequence of extreme specialisation to a single or veryfew pollinator species. Specialist orchids may be vulnerable tomismatches in pollinator emergence and flowering seasons,which is likely to worsen due to climate change (Memmottet al., 2007). Pollinator limitation may also be particularlysevere in sexually deceptive systems because of the likelihoodthat insects attracted to an orchid will not make contactor effect pollination, the variation in individual pollinatorresponses, or the possibility of fooled pollinators avoidingorchids or orchid locations after previous visits (see SectionsIV.2, IV.4 and VII). Thus, even if abundant pollinators areavailable, they may not necessarily be coerced into orchidvisits.

Sexual deception typically involves a species-specific pol-linator (Table 1), so the potential for speciation in sexuallydeceptive orchids may be constrained by the diversity ofinsects available to act as pollinators, and the potential forspeciation in an existing pollinator species. For example, theradiations of the relatively diverse sexually deceptive generaChiloglottis and Caladenia are both accompanied by frequentpollinator switching between closely related thynnine wasps(Mant et al., 2002; Mant, Brown & Weston, 2005c; Bower& Brown, 2009; Phillips et al., 2009a). Australian thynninewasps are diverse, and many of the 715 named species areendemic (Naumann, 2000). Table 1 shows that at least 70Australian thynnine species from 12 genera pollinate at least150 sexually deceptive orchid species from seven genera, withmany more thynnines yet to be formally identified (Table 1).This availability of diverse thynnines may have contributed tothe extraordinary diversification of the major (and largely sex-ually deceptive) subclades of Caladeniinae and Drakaeinae.Caladeniinae includes the large genus Caladenia, of which thesexually deceptive species are almost exclusively thynnine-pollinated, and Drakaeinae comprises a diverse radiation ofclosely related thynnine-pollinated genera including Caleana,Chiloglottis, Drakaea, and Paracaleana (Kores et al., 2001).

By contrast, all five Australian and New Zealand speciesof Cryptostylis (subclade Cryptostylidinae) share a single pol-linator, male Lissopimpla excelsa (family Ichneumonidae, sub-family Pimplinae; Coleman, 1928a, b, 1938; Graham, 1983;Schiestl, Peakall & Mant, 2004; Gaskett et al., 2008). Australiahas only four Lissopimpla species and a relatively small ich-neumonid fauna (Naumann, 2000). Therefore, any novel,mutated, or hybrid forms of Cryptostylis that arise may beunlikely to attract a new pollinator because so few Lissopimpla

species or Pimplinae are available in the environment. Inter-estingly, although Australia has several solitary bee speciesfrom the families that are major pollinators for Ophrys speciesin Europe, they are not involved in any sexually deceptivepollination in Australia (Colletidae, Halictidae, Megachilidaeand Anthophoridae; Table 1; Naumann, 2000).

VI. ORCHID SIGNALS AND POLLINATORPERCEPTION

Although understanding of orchid scent and pheromonemimicry is advancing rapidly, there is only meagreinformation about other signals or cues involved in pollinatordeception. Scent is undoubtedly vital for long-rangepollinator attraction, but once a pollinator is nearby, visualsignals such as colour or shape must indicate the specificsource of the scent, and, crucially, coerce him into makingcontact (Peakall & Beattie, 1996; Streinzer, Paulus & Spaethe,2009). This would be particularly important for species thatoccur in dense aggregations that generate a large scent plumewith multiple, indeterminate origins. It is often assumed orspeculated that shape and colour play a role in sexualdeception by orchids (e.g. Dodson et al., 1969; Bergstrom,1978; Ayasse et al., 1997; Ascensao et al., 2005; Jersakovaet al., 2006a; Paulus, 2006; Salzmann et al., 2006; Schluter &Schiestl, 2008). However, experimental tests for shape andcolour mimicry and manipulations of these signals requireconsiderably more attention before this can be confirmed.

(1) Scent

Early researchers swiftly recognised the importance of orchidscent for attracting pollinators and stimulating pollinatorsexual behaviour (Coleman, 1928b, 1929; Kullenberg, 1956;1961). In the field, pollinators approach orchid flowers with acharacteristic zig-zag flight path associated with chemorecep-tion (Wallace, 1978; Stoutamire, 1979, 1983; Peakall, Beattie& James, 1987; Peakall, 1989, 1990; Peakall & Beattie, 1996;Paulus, 2006). Behavioural tests offering pollinators dissectedorchid flowers can be useful for determining where scent isreleased in the flower (typically from the sepals, petals, and/orlabellum; Peakall, 1989; Peakall & Beattie, 1996).

Initially, behavioural studies confirmed that pollinatorscould be attracted with extracts of sexually deceptive orchidsor synthetic mixtures of common compounds (Kullenberg,1956, 1961). Subsequent chemical analyses tested for simi-larities in extracts or volatiles collected from orchids and the

females of their pollinator species using gas chromatographyand gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC, GC-MS;Bergstrom, 1978; Borg-Karlson, 1987, 1990; Schiestl et al.,1999; Flach et al., 2006). The most powerful studies combinebehavioural observations and assays with chemical analysesand tests for pollinator perception of scents (Fig. 4). Pollinatorperception of orchid scent can be tested with calcium imag-ing of antennal lobe activity in the pollinator brain duringexposure to floral scents (Galizia et al., 2005), or much morecommonly, gas chromatography-electroantennography orgas chromatography-electroantennal detection (GC-EAG orGC-EAD; Schiestl, 2005). GC-EAD allows scent compoundsto be individually tested for their capacity to stimulate a polli-nator’s antennal chemoreceptors. Whole live antennae of thepollinator species have been tested with synthetic versionsof compounds identified in orchids (Agren & Borg-Karlson,1984; Schiestl et al., 1999), or more commonly, with extractsof orchid labellae and/or females of the pollinator species(Schiestl et al., 1999, 2000; Schiestl & Ayasse, 2002; Ayasseet al., 2003; Mant et al., 2005b, d; Schiestl & Peakall, 2005;Stokl et al., 2005, 2007; Vereecken & Schiestl, 2008; Gogleret al., 2009). Not every electrophysiologically active com-pound necessarily elicits a behavioural response from thepollinator, so behavioural assays must be performed (Schiestl& Marion-Poll, 2002; Leal, 2005). The model example ofthis procedure is the elegant and methodical identification,synthesis, and field testing of the single novel compoundattracting pollinators to Chiloglottis trapeziformis, and the use ofthis compound and analogs in further investigations of otherChiloglottis species (Schiestl et al., 2003; Schiestl & Peakall,2005; Poldy, Peakall & Barrow, 2008; Franke et al., 2009;Fig. 4).

Application of GC-EAD could be enhanced by moredetailed reporting. Few studies reveal the total number oftrials performed, including those in which antennae failed tomake any response at all. It is also rare to report the mag-nitude or number of antennal responses required before acompound can be considered ‘electrophysiologically active’.For example, compounds could be considered electrophys-iologically active when they provoke antennal responses inat least half of the runs performed (Schiestl & Ayasse, 2002;Stokl et al., 2007; Gogler et al., 2009). Ideally, studies shouldreport the number of trials performed, the proportion inwhich antennae failed to respond, and the number andmagnitude of antennal responses obtained for each elec-trophysiologically active compound. The latter could beaddressed when publishing Tables of electrophysiologicallyactive compounds by adding a column that provides thenumber of antennae responding to each compound andthe mean magnitude of the response. Since most statisticaltests assume independence of data, it is also important todeclare and control for antennae used in more than onetrial (e.g. Mant et al., 2005b) and when using both antennaefrom one insect. Interestingly, the sensitivity and respon-siveness of insect antennae (or conversely, the strength ofthe orchid signal) may vary consistently with some biologi-cally relevant factor such as the extent of pollinator sexual

behaviour, or between major and minor pollinators for anorchid species, suggesting interesting additional analyses thatwould maximise the value of EAD-based research.

(2) Colour

Analyses of orchid colour from a human perspective arelargely redundant given the differences between human andinsect visual systems (Kelber, Vorobyev & Osorio, 2003).Early studies by Kullenberg (1961) attempted to quantifythe colour of Ophrys species with spectral measurements andcomparisons with standard colour hues. Recently, studiesof food-deceptive pollination systems compare the spec-tral reflectance of food-deceptive orchids and co-occurringrewarding species (Table 2). Some studies take the next stepand consider pollinator perception of colour by mappingspectral reflectances of food-deceptive orchids into pollina-tor visual systems (Gumbert & Kunze, 2001; Galizia et al.,2005; Indsto et al., 2006). Similar analyses for sexually decep-tive species show that despite colour differences seen byhumans (Fig. 1), four Australian Cryptostylis orchid speciesare all perceptually identical in colour to their pollinator’sfemale conspecific when modelled into a hymenopteranvisual system (Gaskett & Herberstein, 2010). Analysis fromthe pollinator’s visual perspective is crucial for understanding

pollinator-driven selection on orchid colour, but is hinderedby the lack of specific information about the visual systems ofmost orchid pollinator species and disagreement about mod-elling methods (Chittka, 1992; Vorobyev & Brandt, 1997;Kelber et al., 2003; Chittka & Kevan, 2005). Nonetheless,any studies modelling orchids from the visual perspective ofthe pollinator would be a significant contribution (Fig. 4).

A major difficulty when studying colour mimicry byorchids is the potential to conflate mimicry and conver-gent evolution (see Johnson, Alexandersson & Linder, 2003;Grim, 2005). If food-deceptive orchids (the putative mimic)are compared with co-occurring rewarding flower species(the models), it is likely their shared environmental condi-tions and pollinators would exert similar selective pressureon many features including colour. This problem can beavoided by investigating mimicry in sexually deceptive,rather than food-deceptive, pollination systems. Sexuallydeceptive orchids, the mimics, have an entirely differentecology and physiology to their models, female insects. Con-sequently, similarities between the orchid and the femaleinsect can be more confidently attributed to mimicry ratherthan to convergence in sexually deceptive systems.

Sexually deceptive orchids may also exploit pollinator sen-sory biases or perceptual weaknesses. Sensory biases evolvewhen sensitivity to certain signals or cues provides fitness

benefits, e.g. quick detection of colours associated with foodor mates, or a preference for larger body size in matechoice (Schaefer & Ruxton, 2009). Orchids that exploitinsect sensory biases can take advantage of their pollinator’sinnate attraction to certain signals such as wavelengths orshapes (see also Section VI.3). The ornaments of sexuallydeceptive Ophrys heldreichii orchids were thought to exploitinnate pollinator visual biases for pink wavelengths becausepollinators preferred flowers with intact natural pink orna-ments (Spaethe, Moser & Paulus, 2007). However, a laterstudy established that pollinators found the orchid morerapidly when researchers attached various coloured orna-ments as long as they contrasted with the background,suggesting a sensory bias for contrast rather than specificcolours (Streinzer et al., 2009). Yellow and ultraviolet (UV)wavelengths may be more likely candidates for exploita-tion of innate insect preferences. Many insects are stronglyattracted to yellow or UV (Jonsson, Lindkvist & Anderson,2005; Goulson et al., 2007; Lunau, 2007) and orchids oftenhave bright yellow pollinia visible to the pollinator or yellowsepals or petals (e.g. Cryptostylis, Fig. 1; Gaskett & Herberstein,2010; see Delforge (2005) for pictures of Ophyrs spp.). Brightyellow spots on the labellum are known to attract pollinatorsin the food-deceptive slipper orchid Paphiopedilum barbigerum

(Shi et al., 2009) and similar pollinator behaviour is reportedin other Paphiopedilum species (Banziger, 1996). Exploitationof insect attraction to UV is also plausible (Paulus, 2006;Gaskett & Herberstein, 2010). For example, bumps on thelabellae of Cryptostylis subulata and C. ovata reflect UV, identicalto the wings of their pollinator’s female conspecific (Gaskett& Herberstein, 2010). However, UV-reflection is relativelyuncommon in rewarding flowers (Chittka et al., 1994), and iscorrespondingly rare in food-deceptive orchids (e.g. Johnson,2000; Johnson et al., 2003).

Intriguingly, many sexually deceptive orchids are pre-dominantly green, red, or white, which are colours not easilyseen by hymenoptera (Gaskett & Herberstein, 2010; Figs 1and 2; further images of Australian, European, and Southand Central American species see Blanco & Barboza, 2005;Delforge, 2005; Jones, 2006; Singer et al., 2006). Green flow-ers may be difficult to distinguish from surrounding greenleaves, perhaps resembling background leaves or plants andthus obscuring parts of the flower that may hinder mimicryof female insect body shapes. Although white flowers appearobvious to humans, they can be difficult for hymenopterato distinguish from the background (Chittka et al., 1994).This is because white flowers, like background foliage, soiland stones, cause approximately equal excitation of theBlue, Green and UV receptors typical of most hymenoptera(Chittka et al., 1994). Red floral colouration may act asa cognitive sensory trap (Schaefer & Ruxton, 2009). Redwavelengths are beyond the peak sensitivities of the Blue,Green and UV receptors, and are therefore difficult forhymenoptera to detect or differentiate between (Chittkaet al., 1994) and distinguish from the background (Spaethe,Tautz & Chittka, 2001). Better modelling of pollinator per-ception of orchid colours requires characterisation of the

peak sensitivities of the visual receptors of common sexuallydeceptive orchid pollinators such as Colletes cunicularius orthynnines (e.g. Peitsch et al., 1992). More studies investigat-ing and testing for exploitation of sensory biases and sensorytraps in sexual deception would be fascinating.

Finally, although within-species colour polymorphismoccurs in several food-deceptive orchid species (Gigord,Macnair & Smithson, 2001; Koivisto, Vallius & Salonen,2002; Salzmann & Schiestl, 2007), it is rare for sexuallydeceptive species, exceptions include Caladenia behrii (Dickson& Petit, 2006) and Ophrys arachnitiformis (Vereecken & Schiestl,2009). The role of colour polymorphism is unclear. Moststudies with food-deceptive orchid species find no evidenceof frequency-dependent selection or pollinator preferencesfor rare colour morphs (Koivisto et al., 2002; Aragon &Ackerman, 2004; Pellegrino, Bellusci & Musacchio, 2005;Dickson & Petit, 2006; Smithson et al., 2007; Tremblay& Ackerman, 2007; Vereecken & Schiestl, 2009, but seeGigord et al., 2001). Thus future studies of colour polymor-phism in either sexual or food deception should considerhow colour morphs differ in several factors such as fitness,post-pollination barriers, or seed viability, rather than justpollinator preferences (e.g. Pellegrino et al., 2005; Jersakova,Kindlmann & Renner, 2006b).

(3) Shape

The shape of an orchid is also likely to be an important visualsignal for sexual deception. After a pollinator has landed onan orchid, he must be persuaded into attempting copulation.This could be accomplished by close-range mimicry of thedimensions and tactile qualities of the body of his femaleconspecific. Comparison of the distribution and dimensionsof hairs on the surface of Ophrys spp. labellae and the spe-cific female bees they mimic indicated considerable texturalcongruence (Agren, Kullenberg & Sensenbaugh, 1984). Sev-eral orchids feature notably insectiform labellae that mightmimic female insects, e.g. Drakaea, Paracaleana and Lepanthes

species and Geoblasta pennicillata, but others, including Cryp-

tostylis erecta, Trigonidium obtusum and Pterostylis species do notappear insect-like to the human viewer (Figs 1 and 2; Singer,2002; Blanco & Barboza, 2005; Ciotek et al., 2006).

Close-range tactile cues may also determine pollinatororientation on the orchid, which is imperative for effectivepollinia collection and transferral (Kullenberg, 1961;Wallace, 1978). The surface cells on the labellae of Ophrys fusca

and O. lutea bear long trichomes that point towards the stigmaand these are likely to direct the pollinator’s genital clasperstowards the stigma and adjacent pollinia (Ascensao et al.,2005). The hypothesis that trichomes function in pollinatororientation could be tested by experimentally removingtrichomes or manipulating their arrangement and observingpollinator orientation behaviour. In field experiments,pollination and fruit-set would be expected to be lowerfor orchids with experimentally removed trichomes than forcontrol orchids that had received a similar level of shamdamage, e.g. small cuts made on the reverse of the labellum.

Shape may also exploit pollinator sensory biases involvedin male mate-choice behaviour. Morphological comparisonsof flower size show that the labellae of Chiloglottis trapeziformis

orchids are consistently larger than the female insects theymimic (Schiestl, 2004). These large flowers could representan irresistible super-stimulus that exploits the common maleinsect preference for large female body size (Bonduriansky,2001; Schiestl, 2004). However, in tests with model femaleinsects, the pollinator of Chiloglottis trapeziformis preferredintermediate over both small and large models, indicating alimit to male preference for large female body size (Schiestl,2004). However, measurements were taken of the wholelabellum, rather than just the insectiform black, glossy callion the labellum of the orchid, which may be more relevantfor comparison (for drawings, see Bower, 1996; Mant et al.,2005a; Mant, Peakall & Weston, 2005e). A comprehensivemulti-species study of the possible tactile function of thesecalli in Chiloglottis species, the insectiform labellae of Drakaea

or Caleana species, or the whole labellae of Ophrys species,would help clarify the role (if any) of shape mimicry in sexualdeception.

The literature suggests two alternative and as yet unstudiedhypotheses for the function of varying floral shape in sexualdeception. Firstly, variation in shape could impair pollina-tor learned avoidance in the same way that scent variationhinders this process in Ophrys sphegodes and other unreward-ing flowers (Ayasse et al., 2000; Raguso, 2004). Experimentstesting pollinator behaviour and learning using manipulatedfloral shapes are required. Secondly, floral shape is undoubt-edly important in the function of floral traps. Morphology islikely to control both the location and duration of pollinatorcontact, with strong consequences for pollinia transfer andthus fitness. For example, when a pollinator grips the looselyhinged labellum of Arthrochilus species, he is swiftly swung intoa pair of flanges that control his position against the stigmaand pollinia, then a second pair of curved flanges traps hiswings and prevents his escape until after pollinia transferralhas occurred (Bower, 2001a). Research into the evolution oftrap mechanisms could commence by testing how variationin some morphological aspect of a floral trap interacts withpollination success.

(4) Multimodal signalling

In his thesis, Kullenberg (1961) addressed the possibilityof multiple olfactory, visual and tactile stimuli in sexualdeception, but there are few contemporary tests in whichpollinators are offered models with simultaneous variationsin scent and colour and shape to determine signal functionsand the extent of signal duplication (Fig. 4; e.g. Vereecken &Schiestl, 2009). Sexually deceptive orchids exploit their pol-linators’ mate search and mate-choice signals. Mate choiceoften involves assessment of multicomponent or multimodalsignals (Candolin, 2003; Papke, Kemp & Rutowski, 2007).Therefore, orchids that produce multiple deceptive sex sig-nals in chemical, visual and tactile modes could be extremelycompelling for their mate-searching potential pollinators.Since the attractiveness of an orchid appears to provide

fitness benefits in terms of increased pollination success(Fig. 3; Gaskett et al., 2008), there should be strong selectionfor multimodal signalling.

Multicomponent signals can enhance detection in signal-noisy environments, or assist in species and mate recognition(Partan & Marler, 1999; Candolin, 2003). Furthermore, eachsignal mode could convey different information about theemitter (Candolin, 2003). For orchids, scent and colour mightadvertise the orchid’s location, whilst the size of the orchidmight suggest a female of high fecundity and mate quality.Alternatively, each mode could elicit a different part of thereceiver’s response (Kullenberg, 1961). For orchids, scentmight attract over long distance, while shape and texturecause precise orientation on the orchid, and stimulate copu-lation. A third explanation, the backup hypothesis, suggeststhat each component reiterates or reinforces the same mes-sage (Partan & Marler, 1999; Candolin, 2003; Papke et al.,2007). However, behavioural tests with Ophrys arachnitiformis

show that for this species, scent alone is sufficient for polli-nator attraction, and that there is no signal reinforcementbetween the scent and the natural green or white floral orna-ments (Vereecken & Schiestl, 2009). Other candidates formulti-signal manipulation are colourful and morphologicallyornate species for which the attractive scents are well studied,e.g. Ophrys exaltata (Mant et al., 2005b; Vereecken & Schiestl,2008), Ophrys fusca (Ascensao et al., 2005; Stokl et al., 2005),Ophrys iricolor (Stokl et al., 2007), and Ophrys sphegodes (Schiestlet al., 1999; Ayasse et al., 2000).

The functions and evolution of multiple signals can also bestudied by applying molecular data from model systems suchas Arabidopsis and Antirrhinum to orchids (Schluter & Schiestl,2008; Mondragon-Palomino & Theißen, 2009). The pollina-tor perspective could be incorporated by applying moleculardata on the expression of insect sexual behaviour, odor-ant receptor genes, the functions and pathways of olfactoryreceptor neurons, and signal processing in the brain (e.g.Fitzpatrick et al., 2005; Rutzler & Zwiebel, 2005; Bargmann,2006; Hallem, Dahanukar & Carlson, 2006). There is alsoconsiderable existing data on the molecular basis of insectcolour perception (e.g. the genes coding for visual pigmentssuch as opsin) which could be applied to the study of decep-tive orchid colouration (Briscoe & Chittka, 2001; Kelberet al., 2003; Spaethe & Briscoe, 2004).

VII. POLLINATOR LEARNING

In insects, learning and memory are common in all aspects oflife including sexual behaviour (Dukas, 2008). In the past, sex-ual deception was thought to activate only innate behaviourwith no scope for learning (Kullenberg & Bergstrom, 1976a;Dafni, 1987). It is now widely accepted that deception stim-ulates pollinator learning and memory, and consequently,changes in individual behaviour (Wong & Schiestl, 2002;Schiestl, 2005; Jersakova et al., 2006a; Paulus, 2006; Spaetheet al., 2007). After visiting a sexually deceptive orchid, a pol-linator appears to become aversive to the location of the

deception. Unlike the pollinators of rewarding, nectariferousflowers (Chittka, Thomson & Waser, 1999), sexually deceivedpollinators generally depart quickly and rarely visit multi-ple neighbouring orchids (Peakall, 1990; Peakall & Beattie,1996; Peakall & Schiestl, 2004; but see Jones & Gray, 1974).Fieldworkers frequently report that when an orchid flower isartificially introduced into an area, pollinators arrive swiftly,even within a minute for some species, but the rate of insectattraction soon wanes, even when fresh orchids or real femaleinsects are subsequently placed in the same location (Peakall,1990; Bower, 1996; Bower & Brown, 1997; Alcock, 2000;Ayasse et al., 2000; Wong & Schiestl, 2002; Wong, Salzmann& Schiestl, 2004). This is not because pollinator chemore-ceptors have become desensitised or habituated to the orchidscent because if the orchids are moved a few metres, theytypically attract pollinators again (Bates, 1977; Stoutamire,1983; Peakall, 1990; Bower, 1996; Ayasse et al., 2000). In onestudy, the pollinators of Ophrys sphegodes quickly learnt orchidlocations and the scents of individual flowers, and avoidedthem when tested a few minutes later (Ayasse et al., 2000).

Post-deception aversion to orchids appears to involve twoforms of learning: spatial configuration, and recognition ofsignals or sensory information (Dukas, 2008). It is unknownhow long these memories are retained and whether variationin one or more of the signal modes impairs or assists inmemory acquisition. Another unknown component is theinfluence of positive and negative reinforcement, i.e. if priormatings with real female insects or orchids make a maleinsect more or less likely to mate with a female insect or visitan orchid in the future. Capacity for learning and memoryare heritable (Dukas, 2008), and this suggests several inter-esting hypotheses: is learned avoidance a specific response toorchid deception, or a regular behavioural response to anynegative experience, such as attempting to mate with a deador heterospecific female? Does learned avoidance improvepollinator fitness, and is this sufficient to drive selection at apopulation or species level? Are naıve insects outside orchidranges more likely to be fooled by an orchid than naıve insectsin populations in long-term contact with orchids? Experi-mental assays involving pollinator learning require naıve orcaptive-bred male insects to ensure no previous experiencewith orchids or real females. Almost all studies of sexualdeception employ wild-caught male insects, but Gogler et al.(2009) used commercial colonies of Bombus terrestris to lure andestablish laboratory colonies of parasitic Bombus vestalis (thepollinator of Sardinian Ophrys normanii and O. chestermanii) anda similar technique could be used for other parasitoids that actas pollinators for sexually deceptive orchids. There are fewexperimental tests of learning in sexually deceived pollinatorsso this is likely to be a very productive field for future research.

VIII. COSTS OF DECEPTION ANDORCHID-POLLINATOR COEVOLUTION

Sexually deceptive orchids generally exert little influence onthe evolution of their pollinators (Schiestl, 2005; Jersakova

et al., 2006a). Pollinators of sexually deceptive orchids receiveno benefits from orchid visits and in most cases orchids arealso unlikely to impose any costs on their pollinator species.Costs to the pollinator species are unlikely because not allinsects that encounter an orchid are fooled into acting aspollinators (Table 3) and orchids are often rare or flowersporadically, and do not grow in all areas in which their pol-linating species is found (Kindlemann & Balounova, 2001;Peakall et al., 2002; Bower & Brown, 2009). Therefore manyinsects from a pollinating species may never or only rarelyencounter a sexually deceptive orchid. In this situation, atspecies level the fitness benefits of responding swiftly to sexualsignals and securing many matings with real females may out-weigh the disadvantages of occasional matings with orchids.

However, mating with orchids may have negative impactsfor individual pollinators. Pollinators can prefer orchids toreal females, prematurely end a copulation with a real femaleto visit an orchid, or be unable to find real female matesamong false orchid signals (Coate, 1965; Wong & Schiestl,2002; Schiestl, 2004; Vereecken & Schiestl, 2008). If sexualdeception involves pollinator ejaculation and sperm wastage,it may even affect a male’s future mating opportunities.Sperm production can be costly in many insect species,limiting lifetime sperm production (Wedell, Gage & Parker,2002). Even if sperm production is not costly, a male couldbecome temporarily sperm depleted during an orchid visit. Ifhe then soon encounters a real female, he may not be able tocopulate, or may transfer only seminal fluid without sperm,as occurs in many solitary wasp species (King, 1987; Damiens& Boivin, 2006). Although currently considered extremelyrare and proposed only for Cryptostylis and Lepanthes species(Blanco & Barboza, 2005; Gaskett et al., 2008), pollinatorejaculation has been studied in so few species that it may bemore common than currently believed.

Learned avoidance by pollinators after visiting sexuallydeceptive orchids is well documented and could be anevolved response to the costs imposed by the deception(Peakall, 1990; Bower, 1996; Bower & Brown, 1997; Alcock,2000; Ayasse et al., 2000; Wong & Schiestl, 2002; Wong et al.,2004). If the costs of deception are strong enough to selectfor pollinator avoidance of orchids, this in turn could selectfor increasingly sophisticated and persuasive orchid signals,ie. antagonistic coevolution or an arms race (Wong & Schi-estl, 2002; Gaskett et al., 2008). However, there are currentlyno data indicating whether these costs actually do impedepollinator fitness sufficiently to drive coevolution and a largestudy addressing pollinator mating behaviour and sperm useand exploring the potential for individual and populationcosts of exploitation by orchids is required.

At present, it is apparent that pollinators and theirbehaviours, mating systems, diversity, and sensory percep-tion could exert considerable selection on sexually deceptiveorchids and their signals. If sexual deception does negativelyimpact the mating opportunities of individual pollinators,there is no experimental evidence to show this is adequate toimpose selection on pollinators at the level of population or

species. Thus, antagonistic coevolution remains a tantalisinghypothesis for future research.

IX. FUTURE DIRECTIONS

(a) Fundamental natural history observations of pollinatoridentity and sexual behaviour with poorly knownorchids are crucial for conservation and knowledge.This is especially so for highly endemic and diverseorchid regions such as Australia and Central and SouthAmerica, contentious taxa (e.g. Cymbidium pumilum andPterostylis), and species that may combine aspects ofboth sexual and food deception (e.g. Orchis galilaea andCaladenia patersonii).

(b) Investigating pollinator mating systems and theconsequences of haplodiploidy and indirect selectionoffers new frameworks for researching sexualdeception, and more generally, hymenopteranevolution and behavioural ecology.

(c) Future studies involving gas chromatography-electroantennography (GC-EAG or GC-EAD) can beenhanced by reporting factors such as the numberof trials, number of unresponsive antennae, and themagnitude of responses observed, and consideringwhether these factors vary consistently with pollinatormating systems or behaviours.

(d) Although more studies of colour mimicry insexual deception are desirable, investigating howorchids exploit pollinator visual biases and employsensory traps would make a more widely applicablecontribution to the field of deceptive signalling.

(e) Investigation of floral shape provides many new orunder-studied opportunities for research: mimicry,exploitation of sensory biases, the effect of shapevariation on pollinator learning, and the evolutionof floral trap morphology.

(f) Current molecular studies of orchid signal expressioncould be accompanied by research into the geneticfactors influencing pollinator perception of signals (e.g.olfactory receptors and visual pigments) and pollinatorlearning and memory.

(g) Future topics to address in pollinator learning includethe temporal longevity of memory, the functions ofmultiple signal modes, and the influence of positiveand negative reinforcement.

(h) Costs imposed on pollinators by deception remainunquantified and evidence for antagonistic coevolutionbetween orchids and their deceived pollinators meritsconsiderable attention.

X. CONCLUSIONS

(1) At present, sexually deceptive orchid genera havebeen identified in Australia and New Zealand

(Arthrochilus, Caladenia, Caleana, Calochilus, Chiloglottis,Cryptostylis, Drakaea, Leporella, Paracaleana, Spiculaea andpotentially Pterostylis), Europe (Ophrys, Orchis), SouthAfrica (Disa), Central and South America (Geoblasta,Lepanthes, Mormolyca, Stellilabium, Telipogon, Trichoceros,Trigonidium and potentially Tolumnia), and potentiallyJapan (Cymbidium pumilum).

(2) Sexually deceptive orchids are pollinated only bymale insects, which are typically from species thatare solitary rather than social and are haplodiploid,monandrous, and polygynous.

(3) There is considerable diversity in the behaviour ofsexually deceived pollinators among different orchidspecies, and among different individuals of the pollina-tor species. Generally, pollination involves copulationor simple gripping of the orchid. Ejaculation is rare.In some cases, pollinators are trapped briefly.

(4) Orchid speciation may be facilitated by high insectdiversity if this fuels pollinator shifts and provides newpollinators for hybrids and mutants.

(5) A literature survey reveals that for sexually deceptiveorchids, an average of 20.5 ± 14.7% of all flowers(mean ± S.D.; N = 35 species), or alternatively, 37.5± 20.9% of plants (N = 11 species) had pollinia col-lected and deposited, or set fruit. Pollination rates perflower are similar in Europe (18.4% ± 17.4, N = 8)and temperate Australia (18.4 ± 11.4%, N = 21).

(6) Although scent mimicry is increasingly well studied,visual and tactile mimicry require further atten-tion, with emphasis on pollinator perception andexperimental manipulations involving multiple sen-sory modes. Alternative deceptive interactions such asexploitation of pollinator sensory biases are also likely.

(7) Observations suggest that pollinators commonlyexhibit learned avoidance of orchids or orchid loca-tions.

(8) Generally, even if orchids impose minor costs onindividual pollinators, these may be insufficient todrive selection at a population or species level. Rareexamples of sexual deception provoking pollinatorejaculation may exert considerable costs on the polli-nator, but this is yet to be demonstrated empirically.
