Pollinators cause stronger selection than herbivores on floral traits in Lobelia cardinalis (Lobeliaceae).

Abstract excerpt

Measures of selection on floral traits in flowering plants are often motivated by the assumption that pollinators cause selection. Flowering plants experience selection from other sources, including herbivores, which may enhance or oppose selection by pollinators. Surprisingly, few studies have examined selection from multiple sources on the same traits. We quantified pollinator-mediated selection on six floral...
