Pollinator-mediated isolation in sympatric milkweeds (Asclepias): do floral morphology and insect behavior influence species boundaries?

Abstract
Researches the role of pollination in maintaining barriers among three species of Asclepias that co-occur. A mechanical isolation between A. syriaca and the other two species was detected. More research is needed to determine barriers in species visited by generalists.Suggested Citation
