Evolution and coexistence of pollination ecotypes in an African Gladiolus (Iridaceae).

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Apr 2010

Anderson Bruce, Alexandersson Ronny, Johnson Steven D

Abstract excerpt

Pollinator-mediated selection has been suggested as a key driver of speciation in plants. We examined the potential role of hawkmoth pollinators in driving allopatric divergence and maintaining sympatric coexistence of morphotypes in the African iris Gladiolus longicollis. Floral tube length in this species varies from 35 mm to 130 mm across its geographic range and reflects the prevailing tongue lengths of local...
