Investigation of the relationship between pollinator and plant of the perfume flowers in Peru. Start of a florula project at Panguana in the Ucayali lowland

大国家秘鲁的大片土地仍未被开发。将在以下地区对香兰及其授粉者-采集香水的雄性真舌蜂-的授粉生物学进行研究：马丘比丘保护区、伊基托斯周围地区和Panguana野外站。收集香水的蜜蜂很容易被化学诱饵吸引和诱捕。在慕尼黑植物园种植的兰花的香味成分中发现了新的未经测试的物质，这些物质的诱饵实验将对各自的雄性euglossine蜜蜂的特异性有所了解。从携带兰花花粉囊的蜂翅亚目昆虫研究兰花的传粉和分布是可能的。因此，只有蜜蜂身上的花粉囊才能间接地证实藏在丛林中或生长在无法到达的高度的兰花物种的存在。考察的目的是填补秘鲁植物区系数据的空白，并增进对秘鲁兰花植物群及其传粉者作用的了解。最后，将开始对Panguana实地站进行植物区系评估。这一地区的植物群仍未开发。在为期3周的时间里，将完成对该站植物学调查的第一步。

Large expanses of the big country of Peru remain still unexplored. Studies on the pollination biology of perfume orchids and their pollinators, perfume gathering male euglossine bees, would be carried out in the following areas: the Machu Picchu reserve, the surroundings of Iquitos, and at Panguana field station. Perfume gathering bees are easy to attract and trap with chemical baits. Baiting experiments with new, untested substances, found in the fragrance composition of orchids cultivated in the Botanical Garden Munich will throw some light on the specificity of the respective male euglossine bees. From the hymenoptera carrying orchid pollinaria it is possible to study orchid pollination and distribution without any orchids. Thus, indirectly the presence of the orchid species hidden in the jungle or growing in unreachable heights will be confirmed alone by the pollinaria attached to the bee. The goal of the expedition is to fill gaps in the floristic data of Peru and to enhance the knowledge concerning Peru’s orchid flora and the role of its pollinators. Finally a floristic assessment of the field station Panguana would be initiated. The flora of this area remains still unexplored. Over a period of 3 weeks a first step in the botanical investigation of the station would be achieved.
