 ===== Introduction =====
-The evolution of species traits is driven by different selective pressures, which can be determined by species interactions. If different interactions can lead to distinct selective pressures, the overall combination of each interaction's relative contribution can select species traits. //Primula farinosa// is a perennial herb with two different types of floral morphs, a short morph and a tall morph. Antagonistic interactions such as herbivores consuming flowers favor a short floral morph, whereas pollinators are more attracted by a tall floral morph. Ågren and colleagues (2013) found that geographical variation in the distribution of floral morphs from //P. farinosa// is correlated with the variation in the strength of interaction with herbivores and pollinators.

 ===== Assignment =====
-Propose a simple but realistic mathematical model that unravels the relative contribution of mutualistic vs antagonistic interactions for the adaptive differentiation of floral morph in this system. Use this model to explore the ecological and/or evolutionary consequences of the proposed dynamics.
