Question
Chapter 37.2, Problem 4LO
Summary Introduction
To define: Coevolution and give examples of ways that plants and their animal pollinators have affected each other’s evolution.
Concept introduction: The evolutionary adaptation in flowering plants promotes the specification and diversification of animal pollinators toward plant species. Specification and variations in floral traits played an important role in pollination and coevolution of pollinators.

- Mention two strategies evolved to prevent self-pollination in flowers.arrow_forwardDescribe adaptations of plants to competition for light and pollinatorsarrow_forwardPollination is a key aspect of plant reproduction. Compare and contrast wind pollination and animal pollination, and explain one specific benefit that animal pollination offers over wind pollination.”arrow_forward
- In wild columbine, flower morphology encourages crosspollination. However, during the middle of the receptive period of the stigma, self-pollination can occur if the flower was not previously pollinated. If cross-pollination occurs after selfpollination, then that pollen reaches the base of the style before the self-pollen. Discuss the adaptive significance of this reproduction strategy.arrow_forwardProvide at least one (1) pollinator species (insects, mammals, etc.) and describe its ecological, economic or evolutionary significance.arrow_forwardDescribe how coevolution, as with the hummingbird bill and hummingbird-pollinated flowers, is different from the kind of evolutionarrow_forward
- One of the most striking examples of coevolution is between insects and flowers. The earliest angiosperms produced large amounts of pollen on flowers that were wind-pollinated. The ovules were partially exposed and exuded tiny droplets of sugary sap to catch passing pollen. Outline a course of events that could have resulted in the coevolution we observe today between a flower and its pollinator.arrow_forwardExplain how photoperiodism is an adaptation for plants.
