Rapid floral syndrome convergence in <i>Penstemon</i> through independent genetic variation

2026-07-24

Abstract excerpt

The repeated evolution of certain complex traits within a given lineage is compelling and presents an opportunity for understanding selective and genetic features that promote rapid multi-trait adaptation. The North American plant genus Penstemon is one such example, with numerous evolutionary shifts from ancestral bee syndrome to hummingbird syndrome flowers. Here, we traced the evolution of multi-trait floral p...
