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 …

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 …

Pollinators cause stronger selection than herbivores on floral traits in Lobelia cardinalis (Lobeliaceae)

MP Bartkowska, MO Johnston - New Phytologist, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Measures of selection on floral traits in flowering plants are often motivated by the
assumption that pollinators cause selection. Flowering plants experience selection from …

Pollination system and the effect of inflorescence size on fruit set in the deceptive orchid Cephalanthera falcata

K Suetsugu, RS Naito, S Fukushima, A Kawakita… - Journal of Plant …, 2015 - Springer
Larger inflorescences in reward-producing plants can benefit plants by increasing both
pollinator attraction and the duration of visits by individual pollinators. However, ultimately …

Antiherbivore defenses alter natural selection on plant reproductive traits

KA Thompson, MTJ Johnson - Evolution, 2016 - academic.oup.com
While many studies demonstrate that herbivores alter selection on plant reproductive traits,
little is known about whether antiherbivore defenses affect selection on these traits. We …

Separating selection by diurnal and nocturnal pollinators on floral display and spur length in Gymnadenia conopsea

N Sletvold, J Trunschke, C Wimmergren, J Ågren - Ecology, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Most plants attract multiple flower visitors that may vary widely in their effectiveness as
pollinators. Floral evolution is expected to reflect interactions with the most important …

Distribution, status and conservation of a Critically Endangered, extremely narrow endemic: Lamyropsis microcephala (Asteraceae) in Sardinia

G Fenu, E Mattana, G Bacchetta - Oryx, 2011 - cambridge.org
The aims of this work were to verify the distribution and population size of Lamyropsis
microcephala (Asteraceae), characterize its habitat, assess its conservation status and …

[HTML][HTML] Vertical stratification of plant–pollinator interactions in a temperate grassland

J Klecka, J Hadrava, P Koloušková - PeerJ, 2018 - peerj.com
Visitation of plants by different pollinators depends on individual plant traits, spatial context,
and other factors. A neglected aspect of small-scale variation of plant–pollinator interactions …

Life history variation in Arabidopsis lyrata across its range: effects of climate, population size and herbivory

P Vergeer, WE Kunin - Oikos, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
For plants with wide distributional areas, covering a wide range of ecologically distinct
habitats, evolutionary divergence can lead to substantial phenotypic variation across a …

Selection on plant optical traits and floral scent: Effects via seed development and antagonistic interactions

J Ehrlén, AK Borg-Karlson, A Kolb - Basic and Applied Ecology, 2012 - Elsevier
Evolutionary explanations of plant reproductive traits have usually emphasized optical
characteristics of plants and selection mediated by pollinators. In recent years, studies have …
