What is the role of selective abortion in maintaining high levels of cross pollination in Epidendrum secundum (Orchidaceae)?
Selective abortion of fruits and/or seeds is an evolutionary mechanism that can prevent effects of inbreeding depression in plant populations. This project verifies the existence and possible patterns of selective abortion in Epidendrum secundum by conducting pollinations experiments. The results in...

| Summary: | Selective abortion of fruits and/or seeds is an evolutionary mechanism that can prevent effects of inbreeding depression in plant populations. This project verifies the existence and possible patterns of selective abortion in Epidendrum secundum by conducting pollinations experiments. The results indicates that this species do not have inbreeding depression and do not show the expected patterns of selective abortion. |
