Architecture, size, and reproduction in plants : a pollination study of Mertensia ciliata (James) G. Don

Creator:

Geber, Monica

Abstract:

I experimentally test the hypothesis that the potential for selfing increases with plant size in Mertensia ciliata (Boraginaceae), a self-compatible, profusely-flowering perennial. This follows from the premises that 1) pollen dispersal by pollinators between flowers is limited, and 2) individual pollinators, in this study bumblebees, will visit more flowers per...
