Herbivore pressure by weevils associated with flower color polymorphism in Geranium thunbergii (Geraniaceae).

Journal of plant research - 1 Mar 2014

Tsuchimatsu Takashi, Yoshitake Hiraku, Ito Motomi

Abstract excerpt

Although floral herbivory has recently received increased attention as an important factor influencing plant reproduction, relatively little is known about how its frequency and intensity vary depending on traits of host plants. Here we report that herbivore pressure by a weevil, Zacladus geranii, is associated with a flower color polymorphism of Geranium thunbergii (Geraniaceae). Pink and white flower color...
