Abstract excerpt
Genetic diversity and genotypic diversity of wild populations of the floricolous yeast Metschnikowia reukaufii exhibit a strong host-mediated component, with genotypes being nonrandomly distributed among flowers of different plant species. To unravel the causal mechanism of this pattern of host-mediated genetic diversity, this paper examines experimentally whether floral nectars of different host plants differ in...
