Abstract excerpt
• Nonrewarding animal-pollinated plants commonly experience severe pollen limitation, which should result in strong selection on traits affecting the success of pollination. However, the importance of pollinators as selective agents on floral traits in deceptive species has not been quantified experimentally. • Here, we quantified pollinator-mediated selection (Δβ(poll)) on floral morphology and start of...
