title: Kin discrimination causes plastic responses in floral and clonal allocation

description: In this study, we quantified focal plant floral and clonal responses to
 kin by manipulating the relatedness of neighbours growing in shared pots
 in Mimulus guttatus. Specifically, focal plants were either a) selfed, and
 neighboured by selfed-sibling plants, b) outcrossed and neighboured by
 outcrossed-sibling plants, or c) outcrossed and neighboured by non-kin
 plants. For focal individuals in each treatment we measured various floral
 (e.g. flower number, corolla length, corolla width, date of first
 flowering), clonal (e.g. stolon number, length, width, and biomass) and
 vegetative (e.g. leaf size, stem thickness, and rosette biomass) at early
 (week 4), flowering (week 6), and late-life (week 9) stages.
