Do rewardless orchids show a positive relationship between phenotypic diversity and reproductive success?

Ecology - 1 Feb 2007

Smithson Ann, Juillet Nicolas, Macnair Mark R, Gigord Luc D B

Abstract excerpt

Among rewardless orchids, pollinator sampling behavior has been suggested to drive a positive relationship between population phenotypic variability and absolute reproductive success, and hence population fitness. We tested this hypothesis by constructing experimental arrays using the rewardless orchid Dactylorhiza sambucina, which is dimorphic for corolla color. We found no evidence that polymorphic arrays had...
