Modularity and evolution of flower shape: the role of efficiency, development, and spandrels in <i>Erica</i>

2019-05-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Three hypotheses can explain floral modularity: the attraction-reproduction, the efficiency, and the developmental hypotheses. In order to test these hypotheses and understand if pollination specialisation and pollination syndrome influence floral modularity, we focussed on the genus Erica : we gathered 3D data from flowers of species with diverse pollination syndromes via Computed Tomography, a...
