Description

Controlled experiment using artificial flowers with discrete bullseye phenotypes exposed to UV-present vs UV-absent treatments to test UV-mediated selection on floral traits. Pollen viability measured as fitness component.

Typical Equipment

  • Growth chambers
  • Full-spectrum UV lighting
  • UV filters
  • Microscopes

Output Measurements

  • pollen viability
  • selection coefficients
  • fitness differentials
