概括
授粉者表现出鲜花的恒定性,有利于单一物种的访问. 这项研究发现,物种内花的颜色变化受到授粉者视觉的约束,而不是社区环境.
科学领域:
- 生态生态学 生态生态学
- 进化生物学 进化生物学
- 植物科学 植物科学
背景情况:
- 花的恒定性,即授粉者访问单一物种,对于植物繁殖和社区结构至关重要.
- 共同开花物种的花型特征影响着授粉者行为,包括物种间和物种内部的变化.
- 之前的研究主要研究了物种间的差异,忽视了物种内变异对花恒定的影响.
研究的目的:
- 为了研究花的恒定性,种内植物特征变化的作用.
- 为了测试选择有利于在多种共开花物种的群体中较低的物种内植物特征变异的假设.
- 了解社区环境如何影响花特征变化,特别是花颜色.
主要方法:
- 在19个社区中研究了三种*Pedicularis*物种的花颜色变化.
- 使用基于图像的分析量化花颜色,模拟授粉者 (大蜂) 的感知.
- 在单个物种和多个物种 *Pedicularis* 群体中比较 intra-specific 的花颜色变化.
主要成果:
- 大多数观察到的入人群的花颜色变化都低于熊蜂颜色歧视值.
- 授粉者视觉选择似乎强烈限制了鲜花的颜色变化.
- 在不同社区环境中,在物种内部的花颜色变化中没有发现显著差异.
结论:
- 跨物种的花颜色变化主要受授粉者视觉感知所限制,而不是共同开花物种的存在.
- 社区环境对颜色变化的缺乏影响可能是由于共同开花植物之间的实质性物种间颜色差异.
- 社区环境可能会影响色彩之外的其他花特征,影响花的稳定性.

Incomplete Dominance
22.5K
Gregor Mendel's work (1822 - 1884) was primarily focused on pea plants. Through his initial experiments, he determined that every gene in a diploid cell has two variants called alleles inherited from each parent. He suggested that amongst these two alleles, one allele is dominant in character and the other recessive. The combination of alleles determines the phenotype of a gene in an organism.

Formation of Species

Speciation describes the formation of one or more new species from one or sometimes multiple original species. The resulting species are discrete from the parent species, and barriers to reproduction will typically exist. There are two primary mechanisms, speciation with and without geographic isolation—allopatric and sympatric speciation, respectively.

Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal...
