The study of the intraspecific variability in the flower color may help us to better understand the role of pollinators as selective agents end their effect on the local abundance of floral morphs. We studied the influence of intraspecific variation of flower color on the floral visitation rate and the fitness of Sarothamnus scoparius, a common exo...

Background. The adaptive maintenance of flower color variation is frequently attributed to pollinators in part because they preferentially visit certain flower phenotypes. We test whether Gentiana lutea – which shows a flower color variation (from orange to yellow) in the Cantabrian Mountains range (north of Spain) − is locally adapted to the polli...

Given that pollinators usually visit flowers for hidden rewards, they need to rely on floral traits that indicate reward status (“honest signals”). However, the relationship between pollination, honest signals, and floral rewards is little documented in natural conditions. The Scotch broom (Cytisus scoparius) is an invasive shrub with polymorphism...
