Geographic structure of pollinator communities, reproductive assurance, and the evolution of self-pollination.

Ecology - 1 Jun 2006

Moeller David A

Abstract excerpt

Reproductive assurance is often invoked as an explanation for the evolution of self-fertilization in plants. However, key aspects of this hypothesis have received little empirical support. In this study, I use geographic surveys of pollinator communities along with functional studies of floral trait variation to examine the role of pollination ecology in mating system differentiation among populations and...
