Diversification of Caiophora (Loasaceae subfam. Loasoideae) during the uplift of the Central Andes
(Springer Heidelberg, 2017-03)
Andean orogeny and the ecological changes that followed promoted diversification in plant and animal lineages since the Early Miocene. The angiosperm genus Caiophora (Loasaceae, subfam. Loasoideae) comprises around 50 ...
Major lineages of Loasaceae subfam. Loasoideae diversified during the Andean uplift
(Academic Press, 2019)
The Loasoideae is the largest clade in the Loasaceae. This subfamily is widespread throughout the Neotropics and centered in the Andes, presenting an excellent opportunity to study diversification across much of temperate ...
Exploring the ontogenetic scaling hypothesis during the diversification of pollination syndromes in Caiophora (Loasaceae, subfam. Loasoideae)
(Oxford University Press, 2016-04)
Phenotypic diversification of flowers is frequently attributed to selection by different functional groups of pollinators. During optimization of floral phenotype, developmental robustness to genetic and non-genetic ...
Flower reshaping in the transition to hummingbird pollination in Loasaceae subfam. Loasoideae despite absence of corolla tubes or spurs
(Springer, 2016-03)
Many angiosperm lineages present transitions from bee to hummingbird pollination. The flower design in most of these lineages includes either corolla tubes or nectar spurs, structures that commonly experienced an elongation ...
The evolution of floral ontogenetic allometry in the Andean genus Caiophora (Loasaceae, subfam. Loasoideae)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-01)
The astounding variety of angiosperm flower morphologies has evolved in response to many selective forces. Flower development is highly coordinated and involves developmental associations between size and shape, ontogenetic ...
