phenotypes to visitors. Single visitation experiments showed that native flowers received more pollen, and set more seeds per visit, than introduced phenotypes. This suggests that the degree of mechanical fit between the flowers and the visitors determines the effectiveness of visits. We provide strong evidence that floral divergence among plant populations occurs when populations shift from one visitor community to another functionally different visitor community.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
