Project Title: Alpine plant-insect mutualisms

Many plant species reply on insects to transfer pollen between the flowers of different plants to ensure outcrossing and successful offspring. Some insects are potential seed disperses, and other are seed predators. Other insect species eat plant flowers and leaves. We are investigating the nature of the species interactions in the alpine environment, where diversity is often lower than in forests. Manipulation experiments allow us to study the selective force on factors such as pollen limitation, outcrossing rate, floral attractiveness and species specificity.
