Evolution of a climbing habit promotes diversification in flowering plants.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Oct 2004

Gianoli Ernesto

Abstract excerpt

Key innovations are traits that are associated with the particular evolutionary 'success' of some taxonomic groups. Climbing plants depend on the availability of physical support to reach the canopy and thereby prevent shading by neighbouring plants. The present article shows that the evolution of a climbing habit in flowering plants constitutes a key innovation. A literature survey identified 48 pairs of sister...
