Pollinator‐mediated fitness differences do not fully explain the maintenance of gynodioecy in <i>Sidalcea campestris</i>

These results revealed complex pollinator-mediated fitness differences between females and hermaphrodites. While our study demonstrated that females achieve the expected reproductive advantage for cytonuclear gynodioecy, the lack of differential pollen limitation and frequency-dependent female fitness are inconsistent with expectations of stable gynodioecy. Additional environmental, ecological, and genetic factors may regulate population dynamics in this gynodioecious system.

Abstract

These results revealed complex pollinator-mediated fitness differences between females and hermaphrodites. While our study demonstrated that females achieve the expected reproductive advantage for cytonuclear gynodioecy, the lack of differential pollen limitation and frequency-dependent female fitness are inconsistent with expectations of stable gynodioecy. Additional environmental, ecological, and genetic factors may regulate population dynamics in this gynodioecious system.
