Pre-adaptations and the evolution of pollination by sexual deception: Cope's rule of specialization revisited.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Dec 2012

Abstract excerpt

Pollination by sexual deception is arguably one of the most unusual liaisons linking plants and insects, and perhaps the most illustrative example of extreme floral specialization in angiosperms. While considerable progress has been made in understanding the floral traits involved in sexual deception, less is known about how this remarkable mimicry system might have arisen, the role of pre-adaptations in...
