Popis: | Local adaptation of plant flower and life-history characters has often been studied in the context of specialized pollinators that vary in frequency or behavior among sites. Recently, the potential importance of herbivores and the interactions of pollinators and herbivores have also been recognized. We studied pollinators, herbivores, and plant phenotypes in four populations of the western wallflower (Erysimum capitatum, Brassicaceae) along an elevational gradient in the Front Range of the Eastern Slope of the Colorado Rocky Mountains in 2005 and 2006. Several phenotypic characters varied among populations over a small spatial scale ( |
