Significant selection gradients at P < 0.05 are highlighted in bold. All selection gradients were estimated using multiple regression following the Lande and Arnold (1983) protocol. Multiple rows of the same species for the same trait correspond to different populations if not otherwise indicated. *Note that Campbell et al. (1997), Campbell et al. (2012), and Medel et al. (2003) estimated selection gradients based on pollinator visitations as fitness response rather than measurements of components of female fitness.
