Abstract:Explosive pollination includes a rapid release of floral sexual elements that are enclosed in modified petals, and a subsequent contact with pollinators' body. It requires specific groups of visitors in order to assure plant reproduction, thus reproductive success is threatened in species with explosive pollination mechanisms, especially when pollinator activity is uncertain. Autogamy can alleviate such a problem by improving plant reproductive output. Here we investigated the mating strategies of Marsypianthe… Show more
