Intrafloral Color Modularity in a Bee-Pollinated Orchid [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Flower color has been studied in different ecological levels of organization, from individuals to communities. However, it is unclear how color is structured at the intrafloral level. In bee-pollinated flowers, the unidirectional gradient in color purity and pollen mimicry are two common processes to explain intrafloral color patterns. Considering that
