Mapping fitness landscapes to interpret sex allocation in hermaphrodites: Current Biology https://t.co/HOKQbj0pFE

We interpret andromonoecy with sexual diphasy by mapping floral reproductive success on a fitness landscape defined by both male and female allocation.

🌼The degree of within-#floral #pollen transfer within a pop. depends on key floral traits eg floral sex allocation & #phenology. Ignoring this leads to biased estimates of phenotypic selection gradients when studying floral trait evolution

Thomas Rupp was telling lies to flies and will now present his work on deceptive strategies in fly-pollinated Aristolochia trap-flowers. At least that is what he is telling us... #SCAPE2022

[SCAPE Pollination Ecology @SCAPE_Poll_Ecol]

Why do some hermaprhoditic species produce male-only flowers? @kaihsiu_chen will give us the answer soon! #SCAPE2022
