“…In Megaméxico the presence of 1,732 species is reported, which in turn belong to 189 genera, 36 subtribes and 17 tribes (Gutiérrez-Rodríguez et al, 2022). This great diversity has been possible thanks to climatic heterogeneity, topographic complexity, geological history, and the vast diversity of vegetation types in Megaméxico, which are some of the conditions that have favored the diversification and prevalence of many orchid species (Gutiérrez -Rodriguez et al, 2022).…”

“…Megamexico is a biogeographic region that stands out in the world for having an important diversity and endemism of plants (Rzedowski, 1991). Among this diversity, the Orchidaceae family stands out, which turns out to be an important component of the vegetation of this biogeographic region (Ames and Correl, 1985;Hágsater et al, 2005;Gutiérrez-Rodríguez et al, 2022). Orchidaceae is the most diverse family of angiosperms Agro productividad 2022. https://doi.org/10.32854/agrop.v15i12.2469 (Christenhusz and Byng, 2016).…”

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the pollination syndromes of the orchids of Megamexico and the importance of the interactions between the orchids and their respective pollinators for the conservation of both groups. Design/Methodology/Approach: An exhaustive search was carried out on the pollinators of each of the orchids that grow in Megamexico. With the information sources available, a data matrix was prepared that includes orchids and all their pollinators. Subsequently, it was quantified which group of pollinators the orchids interact with the most. Finally, it is described what physiological adaptations and morphologies orchids have developed to attract specific pollinators. Results: Orchids from Megamexico maintain close relationships with specific pollinators. Said interaction is mediated by the shape, size, production of aromas, nectar, and the color of the flower. Thus, four large groups of pollinators are those that interact with the orchids of Megamexico, with the Hymenoptera being the group of pollinators that pollinates the most orchid species in Megamexico and birds to a lesser extent. Study Limitations/Implications: This study describes the importance of pollinators and their interactions with orchids for orchid prevalence. Findings/Conclusions: It is of vital importance to include orchid pollinators in conservation programs to ensure that interactions between orchids and pollinators continue to be effective and thus guarantee the permanence of the two groups.

“…La familia Orchidaceae constituye uno de los grupos de plantas más diversos, con alrededor de 25 000 especies descritas a nivel mundial. En México, se han registrado 1300 especies (6% del total mundial), de las cuales, el 40% son endémicas, la distribución de las orquídeas es amplia, pero son más abundantes y diversas en los bosques húmedos del sur del país (Gutiérrez-Rodriguez et al, 2022;Solano-Gómez et al 2007). Las orquídeas tienen importancia económica y cultural, debido a que son usadas como alimento, medicamento, aromatizante y usos artesanales y ornamentales (Cox-Tamay et al, 2006;Fillat-Ordóñez & Flores, 2022;Solano-Gómez et al 2007).…”

La familia Orchidaceae incluye especies protegidas en México que son comercializadas de manera ilegal. El objetivo de la investigación fue identificar y registrar las orquídeas silvestres comercializadas en el mercado Isabel Díaz de Castilla localizado en Tenango de las Flores, Puebla. Se aplicaron encuestas durante un año a los comerciantes para recolectar los datos de las especies comercializadas. Se registraron 137 especies distribuidas en 60 géneros como Epidendrum, Prostechea y Encyclia. El 85 % de las especies fueron de hábito epífito que provienen mayormente de los estados Chiapas, Oaxaca y Veracruz. Se identificaron especies comercializadas incluidas en la categoría de riesgo en peligro de extinción. Se llevó a cabo un Taller de planeación participativa con comerciantes y sectores representativos para identificar problemáticas y propuestas. Los resultados obtenidos sientan una base para estudios futuros que logren incidir en la comercialización legal y propuestas para el manejo y conservación de las orquídeas. Diversity and conservation of traded orchids in Tenango, Puebla, Mexico Abstract: The Orchidaceae family includes protected species in Mexico that are illegally traded. The aim of the research was to identify, and record commercialized native orchids in the Isabel Díaz de Castilla market located in Tenango de las Flores, Puebla. Surveys were applied to merchants for a year to collect data about the species traded. 137 species were recorded distributed in 60 genera such as Epidendrum, Prostechea and Encyclia. 85% of the species were epiphytic, mostly from the states of Chiapas, Oaxaca, and Veracruz. Traded species that are included in the risk endangered category were identified. A participatory planning workshop was held with merchants and representative sectors to identify challenges and proposals. The results obtained lay a basis for future studies that may influence the legal commercialization and proposals for the management and conservation of orchids.
