Selfing rates vary widely among natural populations of the perennial wildflower Mimulus ringens. Increased selfing is positively correlated with floral display size and negatively correlated with pollinator visitation and plant density. This suggests that among‐population variation in selfing rate reflects the interaction between ecological and genetic factors. GET THE PAPER !
