Floral Trait Evolution of Angiosperms on Pacific Islands.

The American naturalist - 1 Jul 2020

Hetherington-Rauth Molly C, Johnson Marc T J

Abstract excerpt

Animals frequently evolve unique suites of traits on islands, but whether plants evolve comparable island syndromes remains unresolved. Here, we test the prediction on the basis of natural history observations that insect-pollinated plants evolve smaller flowers on islands than on mainland communities. We examined 556 plant species representing 136 phylogenetically independent contrasts between island and...
