| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
One of the roles of inflorescences displayed by flowering plants is the attraction of pollinating animals. As one of the factors affecting the performance of inflorescences in pollinator attraction, we have focused on floral color. In the first year, I analyzed the composition of flower color in a plant community and found that that co-existing colors were overdispersed (flower color overdispersion). In the second and the third year, I examined the relationship between flower colors and pollinator species in that community to test whether there was any pattern in that community. I found that some hues showed some specific compositions of visitor species.
