Evolutionary breakdown of pollination specialization in a Caribbean plant radiation.

The New phytologist - 1 Oct 2010

Martén-Rodríguez Silvana, Fenster Charles B, Agnarsson Ingi, Skog Laurence E, Zimmer Elizabeth A

Abstract excerpt

• Ecological generalization is postulated to be the rule in plant-pollinator interactions; however, the evolution of generalized flowers from specialized ancestors has rarely been demonstrated. This study examines the evolution of pollination and breeding systems in the tribe Gesnerieae (Gesneriaceae), an Antillean plant radiation that includes specialized and generalized species. • Phylogenetic reconstruction...
