I talked about my research progress about a mathematical model on how interspecific pollen transfer can affect coexistence and evolution of sex allocation.
First, analytical results without evolution showed that interspecific pollen transfer had negative impacts on coexistence by preventing fertilization in the other species. Also, asymmetry of sex allocation between species promoted extinction of either species.
Second, analytical results with evolution of sex allocation revealed that sex allocation always evolved into one regardless of strength of interspecific pollen transfer.
Although my model is very tough to understand, thank you for your listening and giving me comments!
