A meta-analysis of the agents of selection on floral traits

CM Caruso, KE Eisen, RA Martin, N Sletvold - Evolution, 2019 - academic.oup.com
Floral traits are hypothesized to evolve primarily in response to selection by pollinators.
However, selection can also be mediated by other environmental factors. To understand the …

through collaborative studies between biologists and chemists with common interests in the …

A functional view reveals substantial predictability of pollinator-mediated selection

Ø Opedal - Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2021 - pollinationecology.org

The context dependence of pollinator-mediated selection in natural populations

N Sletvold - International Journal of Plant Sciences, 2019 - journals.uchicago.edu
Pollinator-mediated selection to a large extent shapes angiosperm floral diversity, but clearly
not in isolation. To understand how selection by pollinators interacts with other selective …

Spatial variation in pollinator‐mediated selection on phenology, floral display and spur length in the orchid Gymnadenia conopsea

E Chapurlat, J Ågren, N Sletvold - New Phytologist, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Spatial variation in plant–pollinator interactions may cause variation in pollinator‐mediated
selection on floral traits, but to establish this link conclusively experimental studies are …

Additive effects of pollinators and herbivores result in both conflicting and reinforcing selection on floral traits

N Sletvold, KK Moritz, J Ågren - Ecology, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Mutualists and antagonists are known to respond to similar floral cues, and may thus cause
opposing selection on floral traits. However, we lack a quantitative understanding of their …
