Peer Review #1 of "Differences in pollination success between local and foreign flower color phenotypes: a translocation experiment with Gentiana lutea (Gentianaceae) (v0.2)"
Abstract:Background. The adaptive maintenance of flower color variation is frequently attributed to pollinators partly because they preferentially visit certain flower phenotypes. We tested whether Gentiana lutea − which shows a flower color variation (from orange to yellow) in the Cantabrian Mountains range (north of Spain) − is locally adapted to the pollinator community. Methods. We transplanted orange-flowering individuals to a population with yellow-flowering individuals and vice versa, in order to assess whether … Show more
