Disassortative mating prevails in style-dimorphicNarcissus papyraceusdespite low reciprocity and compatibility of morphs

Abstract: Evolution to reduce inbreeding can favor disassortative (inter-morph) over assortative (intramorph) mating in hermaphroditic sexually polymorphic plant species. Heterostyly enhances disassortative pollination through reciprocal placement of stigmas and anthers of morphs and appropriate pollinators. Stylar dimorphism in which there is not reciprocal anther placement may compromise disassortative mating, particularly when there is not intra-morph incompatibility. Variable rates of disassortative mating along wit… Show more

“…3G ). Elsewhere among heteromorphic plants, high levels of disassortative mating resulting in equal morph ratios have been reported in self-compatible, tristylous Eichhornia paniculata ( Barrett et al, 1987 ;Kohn and Barrett, 1992 ) and in stylar dimorphic Narcissus papyraceus ( Simón-Porcar et al, 2014, 2015a. We observed abundant pollinator visitation by long-tongued bees in distylous Glandora and Lithodora populations ( Ferrero et al, 2011b ) and these insects probably play a key role in promoting disassortative mating and causing isoplethic morph ratios.…”

“…For example, if style morphs in a population diff er in rates of disassortative and assortative mating, various L-morph and S-morph biased anisoplethic equilibria are possible. Indeed, there is empirical evidence of biased morph ratios in species in which enforced disassortative mating does not occur because of the absence of heteromorphic incompatibility ( Ganders, 1975 ;Ray and Chisaki, 1957 ;Barrett et al, 1996Barrett et al, , 2004Baker et al, 2000a , b ;Pérez-Barrales and Arroyo, 2010 ;Simón-Porcar et al, 2015a ). In such cases, fl oral morphology plays a more signifi cant role in governing patterns of pollen transfer and mating than in the species envisioned by Haldane, in which illegitimate unions were prevented by physiological incompatibility.…”

“…Reciprocal herkogamy (morph reciprocity) can be viewed as an adaptation promoting compatible pollination and reproductive fitness, as Darwin and most authors since have argued (see, for example, Simón‐Porcar et al ., ; Zhou et al ., ). This means that the reproductive fitness of individuals with any particular anther position is determined by the distribution of stigma positions among its potential mates, weighted by its fitness in relation to each, and vice versa for stigma positions.…”
