Drs. Williams and Dressler at the University of Florida and             their colleagues in Ecuador will study the interaction between                  Gongora orchid species and their native pollinators, bees of the                euglossine group.  The study will include analysis by gas-                      chromatography and mass-spectrometry of the chemistry of floral                 fragrances emitted by the orchids, which serve as attracting cues               for pollinators.  Field experiments in the tropics are designed                 to test whether orchid species produce diagnostic floral                        fragrances that attract only particular pollinating bees, or                    whether floral odors serve a "generalist" function, attracting                  many different pollinators.  The results will be important in                   understanding the evolution of reproductive isolating barriers                  among orchid species and in determining the range of chemical                   cues that orient insect behaviors.
