Among-individual variation in flowering can affect the number of prospective mates\, the risk of mating with lower quality individuals\, and the likelihood of self-pollination. In this colloquium\, I describe two studies that explore variation in flowering patterns in monkeyflower (Mimulus ringens)\, a hermaphroditic herb. In the first study\, I employed an experimental design that minimized environmental variation and allowed me to quantify substantial flowering pattern variation due primarily to genetic factors. In the second study\, I investigated the relationship between genetic diversity and variation in mating opportunity due to among-individual heterogeneity in flower production. My work enhances our understanding of the evolution of flower deployment strategies and associated mating patterns.” \nThe presentation will begin at 4:00 PM in Lapham Hall N101\, preceded by an informal reception from 3:45 – 4:00 PM.
