Statement

Fieldwork: collection of stems with flower buds for 174 taxa (from 2 populations per species when possible) Labwork steps: -Extracting the pollen from newly opened anthers for 168 taxa -Counting pollen grains under microscope (modified Fuchs-Rosenthal counting chamber) to estimate the mean number of pollen grains per stamen for each species. -Measuring pollen grain axes for calculating the mean volume of the one pollen grain for each species (in µm3). -Estimating the pollen volume per stamen and then the pollen volume per flower after recording the number of stamens per flower for each species (in µm3) Quality control: from each tube, pollen counting was repeated twice in order to provide two replicates per sample. Plant species taxonomy was standardised through the ‘rgbif’ package according to the GBIF Backbone Taxonomy reference.
