Parental frequencies and spatial configuration shape bumblebee behavior and floral isolation in hybridizing Rhinanthus.

Abstract excerpt

To shed light on the role played by pollinators in the diversification of angiosperms, focus is needed on how floral isolation varies locally in the early stages of plant divergence. The few studies performed so far have often used species pairs with distinct pollination syndromes and contrasting floral displays. Here, we focus on a hybridizing pair (Rhinanthus minor and Rhinanthus angustifolius) with strong...
