Sex-specific phenotypic selection and geographic variation in gender divergence in a gynodioecious shrub.

Abstract excerpt

In sexually polymorphic plant species the extent of gender divergence in floral morphology and phenology may be influenced by gender-specific selection patterns imposed by pollinators, which may change geographically. Distribution margins are areas where changes in the pollinator fauna, and thus variation in gender divergence of floral traits, are expected. We tested for pollination-driven geographic variation in...
