Appendix A. Statistics from the large natural populations examined.

TABLE A1. Statistics from the large natural populations examined. Number of plants within 40 cm of focal plants, proportion of the long-scaped morph among neighbors, proportion of neighbors of the other style morph, vegetation height, number of flowers, fruit initiation, proportion of fruits attacked by seed predators, and fruit and seed production per plant in a total of five populations of Primula farinosa on Öland, Sweden studied in 2005 and 2006. Means ± SE are given for focal short- and long-scaped plants.
