The role of local species abundance in the evolution of pollinator attraction in flowering plants.

The American naturalist - 1 Jan 2006

Sargent Risa D, Otto Sarah P

Abstract excerpt

We present a population genetic model that incorporates aspects of pollinator efficiency and abundance to examine the effect of the local plant community on the evolution of floral trait specialization. Our model predicts that plant species evolve to be pollinator specialists on the most effective and common pollinators when their abundance is low relative to other plant species in the community (i.e.,...
