We recognize four major classes of stylar polymorphisms in flowering plants: the
heterostylous conditions distyly and tristyly, stigma-height dimorphism, and enantiostyly …

Here, we review recent progress on the evolutionary history, functional ecology, genetics
and molecular biology of heterostyly using a variety of taxa to illustrate advances in …

Evolutionary biologists have produced a solid body of evidence to explain patterns of
diversification, both within and among species. Recent textbooks are weighted towards …

The genus Linum consists of over 180 species, the most famous being L. usitatissimum, the
source of linen and linseed oil. The eight genera of Linaceae subf. Linoideae, of which …

Heterostyly is a genetically controlled sexual polymorphism promoting outcrossing by
animal pollinators. The occurrence of heterostyly in angiosperms was investigated, and 199 …

We investigated the origin of stylar polymorphisms in Narcissus, which possesses a
remarkable range of stylar conditions and diverse types of floral morphology and pollination …

Heterostyly is a sex polymorphism that has challenged evolutionary biologists ever since
Darwin. One of the lineages where heterostyly and related stylar conditions appear more …

Heterostyly has been considered rare or absent on oceanic islands. However, there has
been no comprehensive review on this issue. Is heterostyly truly rare on oceanic islands …

Floral morphology, anatomy and histology were studied in representatives of all families of
current Oxalidales, which were recently constituted as a result of molecular systematic …

Abstract Darwin's book, The Different Forms of Flowers on Plants of the Same Species, has
stimulated an extraordinary amount of original research since its publication in 1877. In his …
