Abstract

In this comment on the article by Bradshaw et al., we first challenge their views on the nature of Ophrys–pollinator interactions. Second, we review pollinator-attracting signals based on the available evidence. Finally, we discuss reproductive isolation in Ophrys and its evolutionary consequences, because this issue has been central to our research during the past decade.
