Abstract
En 中文
Although floral color polymorphism is common in angiosperms, the functional nature of polymorphic traits within a species remains poorly understood. Color morphs may differ in traits other than color, including nectar reward, pollinator visitation, and reproductive compatibility. We studied bract color polymorphism in a nocturnal ginger Curcuma caulina to ask: (i) Do the nectar rewards, hawkmoth visitations, and reproductive compatibility differ among morphs? (ii) Do the morphs differ in their female reproductive success, and does this correlate with their observed abundance?
