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...

Abstract:: I tested a theoretical model proposing that anemia favors transmission of blood-borne parasites to vectors by accelerating the blood-feeding rate. Using Aedes aegypti, the yellow fever mosquito, initially, I was not able to confirm this phenomenon either in an artificial or a live system; anemia did not correlate with blood-feeding...
