“…Ants also use cantharidin as a feeding deterrent in some species (Carrel & Eisner 1974), and they are an important pollinator in several plant species (Beattie 2006;de Vega et al 2014). In the three ant genera recorded in this study, Nylanderia are known as pollinators of the plants Petrosavia sakuraii (Petrosaviaceae) (Takahashi et al 1993), Balanophora tobiracola (Balanophoraceae) (Kawakita & Kato 2002) and Jatropha curcas (Euphorbiaceae) (Luo et al 2012). Monomorium are known as pollinators of the orchid Microtis parviflora (Orchidaceae) (Peakall & Beattie 1989) and Pristomyrmex are visitors to extrafloral nectaries of the plant Bletilla striata (Orchidaceae) (Sugiura 1995) and Terminalia catappa (Combretaceae) (Sugiura 2010).…”

Cantharidin world on islands: Species diversity of canthariphilous arthropods in the Izu–Ogasawara Arc

Cantharidin is a defense chemical produced by only two beetle families, Meloidae and Oedemeridae. This compound also functions as an attractant for certain groups of arthropods (canthariphilous arthropods). Cantharidin-producing beetles and canthariphilous arthropods build a cantharidin-mediated community, called cantharidin world. In this study, to clarify the canthariphilous arthropod community formed on small islands, the arthropods were collected by cantharidin-baited traps and compared among the mainland, peninsula and 11 small islands of the Izu-Ogasawara Arc, Japan. Control traps without cantharidin were also used to collect non-canthariphilous arthropods. Cantharidin-producing beetles were distributed across the study area, but the number of species was reduced on islands. We identified 10 species of five families as canthariphilous arthropods in this study area: two species of Anthicidae and Pyrochroidae (Coleoptera), four species of Ceratopogonidae (Diptera), three species of Formicidae (Hymenoptera) and one species of Podoctidae (Opiliones). The number of canthariphilous species was not correlated with island size (area) but was negatively correlated with the distance of island from the mainland. These tendencies were also seen in non-canthariphilous fauna. The canthariphilous arthropods increased with the number of cantharidin-producing beetle species, but the noncanthariphilous fauna did not. Thus, the cantharidin world on islands seems to be affected not only by the geographic characteristics of islands, particularly the degree of isolation from the mainland, but also by the diversity of cantharidin-producing members within it.

The family Petrosaviaceae is represented by two species in Vietnam, viz. Petrosavia sakuraii restricted to the northern part of the country and P. stellaris distributed in its southern part. The latter species is shown to possess a wide range of distribution in Vietnam, though it was previously believed to be an exclusively Malesian species. The inclusion of P. sinii in P. sakuraii is confirmed. Details on distribution, illustrations and an identification key for these species are provided.

“…The pollination syndrome of mycoheterotrophs would be expected to be affected by resource limitations as they have to depend on other organisms for nutrition; obligate autogamy is a highly economical form of sexual reproduction since it does not require extensive resource allocation for the production of pollen and attractions such as nectar and the perianth (Takahashi, Nishio & Hayashi, 1993). Mycoheterotrophic plants are often regarded as being short-lived; several authors have suggested that plants with short life histories favour inbreeding (Levin, 1972;Bawa, 1974;Solbrig, 1976;Wyatt, 1983).…”

Reproductive biology of a mycoheterotrophic species, Burmannia wallichii (Burmanniaceae)

Received Jub 1999; acceptcdfor publtkation ~t c m b e r I999The breeding system of a mycoheterotrophic species, Bumannia wullkhii (Miers) Hook. f.(Burmanniaceae), is assessed using field observations, floral anatomy, pollen histochemistry and isozyme electrophoresis. The structure of the flower effectively prevents pollinators from accessing the stamens, and no pollinators were observed visiting natural populations in Hong Kong. The pollen is starch-rich but lipid-poor. Analysis of isozyme variation revealed a small proportion of polymorphic loci, a low level of total heterozygosity (HT=0.1972), and a very high overall hation index of populations (&=0.6602). These results strongly suggest that B. walluhii is predominantly self-pollinated. The coefficient of gene differentiation (GsT) is low (0.05), although it is suggested that this is due to genetic homogenization of populations consonant with the formation of numerous tiny 'diaspora' seeds that are wind dispersed.
