abstract = {Premise: Heterostyly in plants promotes pollen transfer between floral morphs,
because female and male sex organs are located at roughly reciprocal heights
within the flowers of each morph. Reciprocity indices, which assess the onedimensional
variation in the height of sex organs, are used to define the phenotypic
structure of heterostyly in plant populations and to make inferences about
selection. Other reciprocal stylar polymorphisms (e.g., enantiostyly) may function
in a similar manner to heterostyly. In‐depth assessment of their potential fit with
pollinators requires accounting for the multidimensional variation in the location
of sex organs.
Methods and Results: We have adapted the existing reciprocity indices used for
heterostylous plant populations to incorporate multidimensional data. We illustrate
the computation of the adapted and original indices in the freely available R package
FlowerMate.
Conclusions: FlowerMate provides fast computation of reliable indices to facilitate
understanding of the evolution and function of the full diversity of reciprocal
polymorphisms.},
