A roadmap to plant functional island biogeography
Island biogeography is the study of the spatio‐temporal distribution of species, communities,
assemblages or ecosystems on islands and other isolated habitats. Island diversity is …

Assembly of functional diversity in an oceanic island flora
Oceanic island floras are well known for their morphological peculiarities and exhibit striking
examples of trait evolution,–. These morphological shifts are commonly attributed to …

Molecular evolutionary consequences of island colonization
Island endemics are expected to have low effective population sizes (N e), first because
some may experience population bottlenecks when they are founded, and second because …

BODY SIZE DIVERSIFICATION IN ANOLIS: NOVEL ENVIRONMENT AND ISLAND EFFECTS
Extreme morphologies of many insular taxa suggest that islands have unusual properties
that influence the tempo and mode of evolution. Yet whether insularity per se promotes rapid …

Modularity and evolution of flower shape: the role of function, development, and spandrels in Erica
D Reich, A Berger, M von Balthazar, M Chartier… - New …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Flowers have been hypothesized to contain either modules of attraction and reproduction,
functional modules (pollination‐effecting parts) or developmental modules (organ‐specific) …

The double-corolla phenotype in the Hawaiian lobelioid genus Clermontia involves ectopic expression of PISTILLATA B-function MADS box gene homologs
KA Hofer, R Ruonala, VA Albert - EvoDevo, 2012 - Springer
Abstract Background The Hawaiian endemic genus Clermonti a (Campanulaceae) includes

Divergence in floral trait preferences between nonflower‐specialized birds and insects on the Galápagos
Premise of the Study The characteristic scarcity of insects on remote oceanic islands has
driven nonflower‐specialized vertebrates to broaden their trophic niches and explore floral …

The evolution of floral gigantism
Flowers exhibit tremendous variation in size (> 1000-fold), ranging from less than a
millimeter to nearly a meter in diameter. Numerous studies have established the importance …

Variation in pollen limitation and floral parasitism across a mating system transition in a Pacific coastal dune plant: evolutionary causes or ecological consequences?
S Dart, CG Eckert - Annals of Botany, 2015 - academic.oup.com
Abstract Background and Aims Evolutionary transitions from outcrossing to self-fertilization
are thought to occur because selfing provides reproductive assurance when pollinators or …
