Rapid touch-sensitive stigma closure is a novel plant reproductive trait found in hundreds of Lamiales species. The origins, mechanisms, and functions of stigma closure remain poorly understood, but its repeated loss in self-fertilizing taxa and direct tests implicate adaptive roles in animal-mediated cross-pollination. Here, we document several additional losses of stigma closure in monkeyflowers ( Mimulus) , th...
