Natural selection on Erysimum mediohispanicum flower shape: insights into the evolution of zygomorphy.

The American naturalist - 1 Oct 2006

Gómez José M, Perfectti Francisco, Camacho Juan Pedro M

Abstract excerpt

Paleontological and phylogenetic studies have shown that floral zygomorphy (bilateral symmetry) has evolved independently in several plant groups from actinomorphic (radially symmetric) ancestors as a consequence of strong selection exerted by specialized pollinators. Most studies focused on unraveling the developmental genetics of flower symmetry, but little is known about the adaptive significance of...
