Abstract

It is hypothesized that the average rate of nectar production per flower for a population of plants is such than an individual plant which possesses this rate has maximum fitness (i.e., is optimal), and predictions concerning nectarProduction in scarlet gilia, a hummingbird pollinated plant are developed.
