Relationship between capitulum size and pre-dispersal seed predation by insect larvae in common Asteraceae
The evolution of a showy floral display as an advertisement to pollinators could simultaneously advertise the availability of resources to pre-dispersal seed-predators. The hypotheses tested here are that the incidence of seed predation by bud-infesting insect larvae in capitula of Asteraceae is pos...
