🔬 Takeaway: The evolution of vascular systems in early seed plants was far more complex than previously thought, involving multiple adaptive modifications and transitional stages. Ancient plant evolution was anything but simple. 🌱 (9/9)

🌸Takeaway: In Aquilegia, nectar-collecting pollinators appear to be the main evolutionary drivers of floral form, perhaps because they’re more efficient pollinators. (9/9)

🌼 Herbivory disrupts plant–pollinator relationships in ways that depend on the type of tissue and the type of damage. This highlights the tight ecological and evolutionary links between herbivores, pollinators and plant traits. (9/9)
