'A most complex marriage arrangement': recent advances on heterostyly and unresolved questions
Heterostylous genetic polymorphisms provide paradigmatic systems for investigating
adaptation and natural selection. Populations are usually comprised of two (distyly) or three …

Synthesis and scope of the role of postmating prezygotic isolation in speciation
How barriers to gene flow arise and are maintained are key questions in evolutionary
biology. Speciation research has mainly focused on barriers that occur either before mating …

The strength of reproductive isolating barriers in seed plants: Insights from studies quantifying premating and postmating reproductive barriers over the past 15 years
Speciation is driven by the evolution of reproductive isolating barriers that reduce, and
ultimately prevent, substantial gene flow between lineages. Despite its central role in …

Patterns, predictors, and consequences of dominance in hybrids
Compared to those of their parents, are the traits of first-generation (F1) hybrids typically
intermediate, biased toward one parent, or mismatched for alternative parental phenotypes …

Herkogamy, a principal functional trait of plant reproductive biology
Premise of research. Phenotypic traits that consistently mediate species' responses to
environmental variation (functional traits) provide a promising approach toward generalizing …

The genomes of Darwin's primroses reveal chromosome‐scale adaptive introgression and differential permeability of species boundaries
Introgression is an important source of genetic variation that can determine species
adaptation to environmental conditions. Yet, definitive evidence of the genomic and adaptive …

Whole‐genome analyses disentangle reticulate evolution of primroses in a biodiversity hotspot
Biodiversity hotspots, such as the Caucasus mountains, provide unprecedented
opportunities for understanding the evolutionary processes that shape species diversity and …

The measure and mismeasure of reciprocity in heterostylous flowers
The goal of biological measurement is to capture underlying biological phenomena in
numerical form. The reciprocity index applied to heterostylous flowers is meant to measure …

Is sexual organ reciprocity related to legitimate pollen deposition in distylous Pulmonaria (Boraginaceae)?
Heterostyly, ie the reciprocal positioning of anthers and stigmas, is a floral polymorphism
that is thought to promote disassortative (ie between‐morph) pollination and to maintain …

Incomplete partitioning of pollinators by Linum suffruticosum and its coflowering congeners
Premise Linum suffruticosum shows variations in pollinator fit, pollen pickup, and local
pollinators that predict pollen deposition rates. The species often coflowers with other Linum …
