英文摘要

The trait-fitness relationship influences the strength and direction of floral evolution. To fully understand and predict the evolutionary trajectories of floral traits, it is critical to disentangle the direct and indirect effects of floral traits on plant fitness in natural populations. We experimentally quantified phenotypic selection on floral traits through female fitness and estimated the casual effects of nectar robbing with different nectar robbing intensities on trait-fitness relationships in both the L- (long-style and short-anther phenotype) and S-morph (short-style and long-anther phenotype) flowers among Primula secundiflora populations. A larger number of flowers and wider corolla tubes had both direct and indirect positive effects on female fitness in the P. secundiflora populations. The indirect effects of these two traits on female fitness were mediated by nectar robbers. The indirect effect of the number of flowers on female fitness increased with increasing nectar robbing intensity. In most populations, the direct and/or indirect effects of floral traits on female fitness were stronger in the S-morph flowers than in the L-morph flowers. In addition, nectar robbers had a direct positive effect on female fitness, but this effect varied between the L- and S-morph flowers. These results show the potential role of nectar robbers in influencing the trait-fitness relationships in this primrose species.
