Abstract:PremiseIntraspecific variation in flower microbiome composition can mediate pollination and reproduction, and so understanding the community assembly processes driving this variation is critical. Yet the relative importance of trait‐based host filtering and dispersal in shaping among‐species variation in floral microbiomes remains unknown.MethodsWithin two clades of Brassicaceae, we compared diversity and composition of floral microbiomes in natural populations of focal nickel and selenium hyperaccumulator spe… Show more
