Speciation is often described as a continuum, from minor divergence of populations to complete reproductive isolation between species. Within-species population divergence can shed light on

Florivory, or damage to flowers by herbivores, can make flowers less attractive to pollinators, potentially resulting in reduced plant fitness. However, few studies have combined observations
