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

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

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