Abstract:		"AbstractA current frontier of character displacement research is to determine whether displacement occurs via multiple phenotypic pathways and varies across communities with different species compositions. Here, we conducted the first test for context-dependent character displacement in multimodal floral signals by analyzing variation in floral scent in a system that exhibits character displacement in flower size and that has multiple types of sympatric communities. In a greenhouse common garden experiment, we measured quantitative variation in volatile emission rates of the progeny of two species of Clarkia from replicated parental communities that contain one, two, or four Clarkia species. The first two axes of a constrained correspondence analysis, which explained 24% of the total variation in floral scent, separated the species and community types. Of the 23 compounds that were significantly correlated with these axes, nine showed patterns consistent with character displacement. Two compounds produced primarily by C. unguiculata and two compounds produced primarily by C. cylindrica were emitted in higher amounts in sympatry. Character displacement in some volatiles varied across sympatric parental communities and occurred in parallel with displacement in flower size, demonstrating that this evolutionary process can be context dependent and may occur through multiple pathways"
