IMPACT OF SEX RATIO. “In monoecious populations, the floral sex ratio also has the potential to affect mating opportunities. Pollinator-meditated selection should result in larger male floral displays and hence higher ratio of male to female flowers, because the number of male flowers influences pollen production and attraction to pollinators. On the other hand, sexual selection should favor extended duration of male function, thus increasing the number and variety of mating partners.”
