Question

Considering the information above and what your knowledge from this lesson, would flowers be more reproductively successful if they adapted to more than just the needs of one pollinator, such as the Hummingbird moth?

Answer 1

Yes, flowers would likely be more reproductively successful if they adapted to attract a variety of pollinators, as this would increase the likelihood of successful pollination and seed production. Adapting to attract a range of pollinators can help ensure that the flowers are able to be pollinated even if one specific pollinator species is less abundant or unavailable. This strategy can increase the overall reproductive success of the plant population.
