Real-time divergent evolution in plants driven by pollinators
DDL Gervasi, FP Schiestl - Nature communications, 2017 - nature.com
Pollinator-driven diversification is thought to be a major source of floral variation in plants.
Our knowledge of this process is, however, limited to indirect assessments of evolutionary …
