Covariance of floral and vegetative traits in four species of Ranunculaceae: a comparison between specialized and generalized pollination systems.

Journal of integrative plant biology - 1 Sept 2008

Meng Jin-Liu, Zhou Xian-Hui, Zhao Zhi-Gang, Du Guo-Zhen

Abstract excerpt

Theory predicts that tighter correlation between floral traits and weaker relationship between floral and vegetative traits more likely occur in specialized flowers than generalized flowers, favoring by precise fit with pollinators. However, traits and trait correlations frequently vary under different environments. Through detecting spatiotemporal variation in phenotypic traits (floral organ size and vegetative...
