Improving the taxonomy of fossil pollen using convolutional neural networks and superresolution microscopy
Taxonomic resolution is a major challenge in palynology, largely limiting the ecological and
evolutionary interpretations possible with deep-time fossil pollen data. We present an …

Pollinator shifts, contingent evolution, and evolutionary constraint drive floral disparity in Salvia (Lamiaceae): Evidence from morphometrics and phylogenetic …
Switches in pollinators have been argued to be key drivers of floral evolution in
angiosperms. However, few studies have tested the relationship between floral shape …

Parsing a plethora of pollen: the role of pollen size and shape in the evolution of Boraginaceae
M Noroozi, F Ghahremaninejad, D Bogler… - …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Pollen, the microgametophyte of seed plants, has an important role in plant reproduction
and, therefore, evolution. Pollen is variable in, for example, size, shape, aperture number; …
