Data for: Elevation-related variation in the population characteristics of distylous Primula nivalis affects female fitness and inbreeding depression

This study reports the investigated variation in plant density, mass and viability of seeds, female fitness and post dispersal inbreeding depression of seeds from flowers of both sexual morphs of the distylous Primula nivalis subjected to different pollination treatments in three populations along an altitudinal gradient. Overall, results indicated that female fitness and inbreeding depression varied according to elevation and environmental variations in both morphotypes. Because these results help understanding the consequences of climate change in plants female fitness as is the case of alpine regions, we believe that our study makes a significant contribution to the literature and will be of interest to the readership of your journal.本研究针对沿海拔梯度分布的3个种群中的二型花柱雪山报春（Primula nivalis），对其两种花型的花朵开展不同授粉处理，探究了植株密度、种子质量与活力、雌性适合度以及种子扩散后近交衰退的变化规律。整体研究结果显示，两种花型的雌性适合度与近交衰退程度均随海拔与环境变化呈现差异。鉴于本研究结果有助于阐明气候变化对植物雌性适合度的影响（以高山区域为例），我们认为本研究对相关学术领域文献具有重要贡献，且将受到贵刊读者的广泛关注。
