Knowledge graph centered on Artificial flower UV exposure selection experiment with 35 nodes and 120 connections. Top connected: elevational gradients, Floral pigmentation patterns provide an example of, pollinator foraging behavior, pollinator observation, pollination effectiveness.
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
