“…Mathematically, genetic (co)variance matrix (G-matrix) and phenotypic selection (β) are the two parameters for predicting the evolutionary changes (Δz) of a suite of traits by using multivariate breeder’s equation Δz = G* β (Lande, 1979; Lande & Arnold, 1983). A great number of empirical studies have documented significant heritability and genetic (co)variance of diverse floral traits (Ashman & Majetic, 2006; Kaczorowski et al , 2008; Zu et al , 2016; Zu & Schiestl, 2017), as well as phenotypic selection acting on them (Gómez, 2003; Irwin & Strauss, 2005; Sandring & Ågren, 2009; Sletvold & Ågren, 2010; Hopkins & Rausher, 2012; Parachnowitsch et al , 2012; Ågren et al , 2013; Gross et al , 2016; Gervasi & Schiestl, 2017). Among those traits, floral scents have rarely been considered.…”
