Geographic consistency and variation in conflicting selection generated by pollinators and seed predatorsDOI: 10.1093/aob/mcw097 Keywords: Corolla tube length, cupular bract, geographic selection mosaic, Pedicularis rex, pre-dispersal seed predation, phenotypic selection analysis, stigmatic pollen load, seed survival Abstract: Backgrounds and Aims Floral traits that attract pollinators may also attract seed predators, which, in turn, may generate conflicting natural selection on such traits. Although such selection trade-offs are expected to vary geographically, few studies have investigated selection mediated by pollinators and seed predators across a geographic mosaic of environments and floral variation
