Demographic analysis of dormancy and survival in the terrestrial orchid Cypripedium reginae (2004, background): “It seems typical of many orchid species that once plants have reached the flowering state, they are highly likely to continue flowering and less likely to become dormant in future years (Wells 1967; Mehrhoff 1989; Gregg 1991; Falb & Leopold 1993; Shefferson et al. 2003 ).”
Why do mixotrophic plants stay green? A comparison between green and achlorophyllous orchid individuals in situ (2013, background): “In many natural populations of autotrophic orchids, dormancy correlates with lower survival (e.g., Shefferson et al. 2003, Shefferson and Tali 2007), so that albinos may be shorter lived.”
Size‐dependent flowering and costs of reproduction affect population dynamics in a tuberous perennial woodland orchid (2010, background): “Tipularia discolour; Snow & Whigham 1989), but not in others (e.g. Cypripedium calceolus spp. parviflorum; Shefferson et al. 2003).”
The evolutionary ecology of vegetative dormancy in mature herbaceous perennial plants (2009, background): “In an observational assessment of lifehistory strategies in the orchid Cypripedium parviflorum, flowering appears relatively cheap, with flowering plants more likely to continue flowering in the next year than vegetatively sprouting or dormant individuals (Shefferson et al. 2003).”
The population biology of the early spider orchid Ophrys sphegodes Mill. III. Demography over three decades (2010, background): “…despite the effort invested in the study of orchids, and notwithstanding the contributions of recent publications (e.g. Kéry & Gregg 2003, 2004; Shefferson et al. 2003; Shefferson, Kull & Tali 2005; Gregg & Kéry 2006; Pfeifer et al. 2006; Shefferson 2006; Jacquemyn et al. 2007; Shefferson &…”
