About this document
Agave Lechuguilla Reproductive Ecology Study by smricardo2445 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document describes a study of floral traits, pollinators, and fruit production in 11 populations of Agave lechuguilla along a latitudinal gradient in Mexico. The researchers found that flower shape and color varied clinally, with northern populations having shorter, more open, and colorful flowers. Large bees were the most common pollinators across populations but their abundance varied along the gradient. Both pollinator visits and fruit set decreased with increasing latitude.
