Reposted by Artemis AnestAnnals of Botany @annbot.bsky.social · 06/08/2026🎉 Great news!

Reposted by Artemis AnestAnnals of Botany @annbot.bsky.social · 06/08/2026The researchers asked two key questions: 🌱 Are reproductive and vegetative traits linked throughout evolution? 🌎 Did these traits help species disperse across continents and establish in new environments? (3/8) 111
Reposted by Artemis AnestAnnals of Botany @annbot.bsky.social · 06/08/2026By analysing genomic data alongside plant architecture, fruit traits and global climate and distribution data, they reconstructed how these traits evolved over millions of years. (4/8) 121
Reposted by Artemis AnestAnnals of Botany @annbot.bsky.social · 06/08/2026One surprising result: 🍒 Red, fleshy fruits evolved multiple times, but they didn't drive long-distance dispersal between continents as might be expected. Instead, they greatly increased the likelihood of species shifting into new ecological niches. (5/8) 111
Reposted by Artemis AnestAnnals of Botany @annbot.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Meanwhile, changes in plant architecture were closely linked to habitat. 🌿 Different growth forms were associated with different levels of canopy openness, and major shifts between biomes often coincided with changes in plant architecture. (6/8) 111
Reposted by Artemis AnestAnnals of Botany @annbot.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Together, the findings suggest that different traits responded to different evolutionary pressures: 🐦 Reproductive traits were shaped mainly by dispersal agents. ☀️ Vegetative traits evolved primarily in response to environmental conditions.

Reposted by Artemis AnestAnnals of Botany @annbot.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Rather than evolving in parallel, reproductive and vegetative traits followed coordinated, but independent, evolutionary pathways, helping Thymelaeaceae diversify into habitats around the world.(8/8) 👉 doi.org/rh3j @arteanest.bsky.social #PlantScience #Evolution #AoBpapers #Biogeographydoi.orgGo and grow: coordinated evolution of vegetative and reproductive traits facilitated niche diversification in ThymelaeaceaeAbstractBackground and Aims.
