Effects of wildfire on floral display size and pollinator community reduce outcrossing rate in a plant with a mixed mating system.

Outcrossing rates dropped substantially after wildfires because of changes in the pollinators, plant display size, and their interactions. Reductions in outcrossing following fire may have important implications for population resilience and evolution in a changing climate with more frequent fires.
