Direct and indirect effects of pollinators and seed predators to selection on plant and floral traits

Article Abstract:

The importance of pollination vs. seed predation for female plant-reproductive success in Castilleja linariaefolia is described. Selection driven by pollinators in concert with antagonists result in a remarkable intraspecific variation in plant and floral characters exhibited by some flowering plants,

Conflicts between plants and pollinators that reproduce within inflorescences: evolutionary variations on a theme

Article Abstract:

The high diversity of mutualisms has probably made it difficult to develop a general theory about their evolution and stability. Three main conflicts of interest in thirteen known nursery pollination systems, where pollinators reproduce within the inflorescence they pollinate, are reviewed.

Within-population spatial synchrony in mast seeding of North American oaks

Article Abstract:

The mast synchrony at the spatial scale of operation of seed consumer populations is examined. The intraspecific synchrony in seed production always exceeds interspecific synchrony.
