Divergent pollination system and morph-dependent effects of corolla length on inaccuracy of reciprocity and reproductive success of a distylous species of Rubiaceae
Abstract:Intraspecific floral variations may affect the degree of generalization and efficacy of pollinators, with consequences for plant reproductive success. Such effects could be greater for heterostylous plants because morphological variation can alter reciprocity between morphs. We evaluated the frequency, composition, and efficacy of pollinators, and the reciprocity (measured by population inaccuracy) of Psychotria nuda, a distylous species of Rubiaceae, in a montane forest. Moreover, we assessed the effects of c… Show more
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.
