Table 4.

Strengths of morph‐ and species‐dependent asymmetries for the same reproductive barriers between Primula elatior and Primula vulgaris included in Table 3. Absolute values of the asymmetries were calculated following Lowry et al. (2008), with values <0.15 indicating symmetric barriers, values ≥0.15 indicating asymmetric barriers, and values >0.5 indicating highly asymmetric barriers (see Lowry et al. 2008)
