Table 4. Contribution of assessed pre-pollination (A) and post-pollination (B) barriers to reproductive isolation (RI) between P. calyculatus (CO) and P. auriculatus (AO) in sympatry for the studied reproductive barriers. Isolation components generally vary from zero (no barrier) to one (complete isolation).

Contributions to total RI were calculated for sequential reproductive barriers, with the sum of contributions equaling total isolation. Sobel & Chen’s (2014) methodology was used for RI (see Supplemental Information for detailed explanations of RI calculations).
