Abstract excerpt
Pollinators prefer flowers with traits that reliably indicate reward quality or quantity, a relationship defining 'honest signals'. Despite its prevalence in plant-pollinator interactions, genetic variation in floral honesty and its effects on plant fitness remain poorly understood. Using a clonal design, we propagated 41 genotypes of Turnera velutina from a natural population to estimate broad-sense heritability...
