Journal ArticleDOI
The Evolution and Function of Stylar Polymorphisms in Flowering Plants
TL;DR: A single adaptive explanation based on frequency-dependent male mating proficiency can explain the evolution and maintenance of the four stylar polymorphisms in plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solving the puzzle of mirror-image flowers.
TL;DR: The genetically controlled orientation of floral sex organs encourages cross-pollination in fruit flies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The biochemistry of Rubisco in Flaveria
TL;DR: This analysis found that the statistical significance of these relationships was influenced by the phylogenetic relatedness of the species, and the typical negative relationships were observed between S(C/O) and both kcat(CO(2)) and K(c), and a strongly positive relationship was observed between k cat( CO(2) and Kc.
Journal ArticleDOI
Moving to mate: the evolution of separate and combined sexes in multicellular organisms
TL;DR: It is found that changes in adult mate‐search efficiency are significantly correlated with changes in breeding system, and this result is robust to uncertainties in the phylogenies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The comparative biology of mirror-image flowers.
TL;DR: The association of enantiostyly with heteranthery, the loss of nectaries, and the reciprocal placement of a pollinating anther suggest that the polymorphism functions to increase the precision of cross‐pollen transfer and to reduce interference of stigmas and anthers within or between flowers on the same plant.
