Floral spurs, widely recognized as a classic example of key morphological and functional
innovation and thought to have promoted the origin and adaptive evolution of many …

The nectar spur is an important feature of pollination and ecological adaptation in flowering
plants, and it is a key innovation to promote species diversity in certain plant lineages. The …

花距常被认为是植物适应传粉者而出现的一个关键创新性状. 花距在被子植物中广泛分布,
并且不同物种花距形态存在较大差异. 已有研究集中于探讨花距与传粉者间复杂的关系 …

Background & Aim: The floral spur is often considered to be a key innovative trait that
emerged from the adaptation of plants to pollinators. Floral spur is widely distributed in …

Floral spurs are invaginations borne by perianth organs (petals and/or sepals) that have
evolved repeatedly in various angiosperm clades. They typically store nectar and can limit …

Convergence, the independent acquisition of similar phenotypes, is an important aspect of
diversity that can provide valuable insights about the nature of evolutionary change. In …

Floral anatomy across the angiosperms is diverse and believed to have formed by
interactions with different pollinators over millions of years. Pollinators are attracted to …

Trait evolution is often investigated with tools like quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping and
genome-wide association studies (GWAS). These tools are made powerful by the integration …
