| the effect of petal size manipulation on pollinator/seed-predator mediated female reproductive success of hibiscus moscheutos. | the effects of petal-size manipulations on the behavior of pollinators and pollen/seed predators, and on pollen removal and deposition, were studied in hibiscus moscheutos (malvaceae) populations. the ultimate effects on the female reproductive success of flowers, such as fruit set, seed predation rate, and final seed set were also measured. we applied three levels of petal removal (100%, 50%, and 0% size reduction in radius) to flowers in natural populations. two pollinators (bombus pennsylvani ... | 1998 | 28308508 |
