Flower evolution
• 130-250 mya – Modified leaves (why?)
![Page 6: Reproduction and attracting mates: Flowers (including zygomorphy , pollination, flowering time)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/568139bb550346895da15e53/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What’s a flower? What’s it for?
• Reproductive structure of angiosperms: – Heterosporangiate typically
consisting of androecium, gynoecium, usually surrounded by a perianth and borne on an axis or receptacle
![Page 7: Reproduction and attracting mates: Flowers (including zygomorphy , pollination, flowering time)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/568139bb550346895da15e53/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Flower morphology
• Pedicel• Flower parts in whorls: (4,5’s or 3’s)
– Calyx (sepals), Corolla (petals), Androecium (stamens with anther, filament), Gynoecium (pistils with stigma, style, ovary)

Symmetry
• Actinomorphic (radially symmetric) vs zygomorphic (1 bisecting line of symmetry)
• Asymmetric: uncommon (Cannanceae, Marantaceae)

Flower vs. Inflorescence
Cercidiphyllum
![Page 10: Reproduction and attracting mates: Flowers (including zygomorphy , pollination, flowering time)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/568139bb550346895da15e53/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Breeding systems: outcrossing and inbreeding
• Spatial: – Flower: perfect (both sexes) vs. imperfect (1 sex)– Plant: monoecious (1 sex) vs. dioecious (both
sexes)– Heterostyly
![Page 11: Reproduction and attracting mates: Flowers (including zygomorphy , pollination, flowering time)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/568139bb550346895da15e53/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Breeding systems: outcrossing and inbreeding
• Temporal: Dichogamy– Protandry: stamens before carpels– Protogyny: carpels before stamens
![Page 12: Reproduction and attracting mates: Flowers (including zygomorphy , pollination, flowering time)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/568139bb550346895da15e53/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Pollination syndromes
• Animal: Insects, birds, bats– Rewards: Nectar, pollen, fragrance, oils– Attract pollinators: Scent, color patterning,
mimicry (Orchidceae)
• Abiotic: Wind and water• Self pollinated, Cleistogamous

Evolution of oil production and collection
• Renner and Schaefer. 2010. Phil. Trans. R. Soc. B. 365:423-435.– Bees collect oil for larvae and pollinate flowers– Question: When and how often oil-offering
flowers and oil-foraging bees evolved?
![Page 14: Reproduction and attracting mates: Flowers (including zygomorphy , pollination, flowering time)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/568139bb550346895da15e53/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Oil and bees
• Renner and Schaefer. 2010. Phil. Trans. R. Soc. B. 365:423-435.– Question: When and how often oil-offering
flowers and oil-foraging bees evolved?• Oil flowers evolved at least 28 times and lost 36-40
times. Oldest just after the K/T boundary65 mya in America (Melpighiaceae) and Africa (Curcurbitaceae, and Laurasia (Myrsinaceae) taxa
• Bees evolved oil foraging at least 7 times with earliest at least 53-56 Mya (but probably older)

Question
• Is flower symmetry associated with changes in speciation rates mediated via pollinators?
![Page 20: Reproduction and attracting mates: Flowers (including zygomorphy , pollination, flowering time)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/568139bb550346895da15e53/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Question
• Is flower symmetry associated with changes in speciation rates mediated via pollinators?– Suggest bilaterally symmetrical flowers can
restrict pollinator access to flowers, direct pollen placement, and lead to greater reproductive isolation
– Predict that bilaterally symmetrical flowers have higher speciation rates than radially symmetrical flowers

Question
• Is flower symmetry associated with changes in speciation rates mediated via pollinators?– Corolla symmetry data for animal pollinated
families from the literature– Sister-group comparisons (40 zygomorphic clades
and 19 comparisons)• Building an angiosperm tree and mapping on
zygomorphy• Looking for the actinomorphic sister • Getting number of species in family from literature

Question
• Is flower symmetry associated with changes in speciation rates mediated via pollinators?– In 15/19 comparisons zygomorphic clade was
more diverse than actinomorphic clade
