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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Evolutionary explanations of plant reproductive traits have usually emphasized optical
characteristics of plants and selection mediated by pollinators. In recent years, studies have …
