Variations in pollinator-mediated selection of floral traits across flowering times

Abstract Spatiotemporal variations in plant-pollinator interactions drive floral evolution and shape the diversity of flowers angiosperms. However, potential role driving differentiation across flowering times within a population has not been documented. In this study, we aimed to quantify pollinator-mediated selection traits different Primula sikkimensis (an entomophilous plant) two natural populations. The results demonstrated that plants were shorter produced fewer with larger sizes early time than late time. time, pollinator types visitation frequency was lower resulting female fitness. Pollinator-mediated varied more received during These highlight temporal variation may have diversification population.
