Patterns of floral morphology in relation to climate and floral visitors. [PDF]

Ann Bot, 2020
AbstractBackground and AimsThe diversity of floral morphology among plant species has long captured the interest of biologists and led to the development of a number of explanatory theories. Floral morphology varies substantially within species, and the mechanisms maintaining this diversity are diverse.
