Anthropogenic fire drives the evolution of seed traits.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 15 Nov 2011

Gómez-González Susana, Torres-Díaz Cristian, Bustos-Schindler Carlos, Gianoli Ernesto

Abstract excerpt

Fire is a major disturbance affecting ecosystems worldwide. Phylogenetic studies have shown that the evolution of seed persistence (fire resistance) is associated with fire frequency or severity. However, the existence of specific seed traits resulting from natural selection mediated by fire remains a key question in plant evolution. We evaluated the role of fire in the evolution of seed traits from a...
