Recent evolutionary divergence in a plant ring-species is not accompanied by floral phenology or pollinator shifts [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Ecology and Evolution
Background and aims – The study of factors and processes involved in evolutionary divergence can inform how biodiversity is generated and maintained. We evaluate shifts in phenology or in pollination systems as potential barriers to gene exchange and ...
