背景情况:

花与紧密位置的花和污风险自我授粉,尽管能够实现精确的动物介导的花粉传输.
互惠的异构,一种常见的进化解决方案,涉及不同植物 (遗传二态) 之间的互惠的异构和风格位置.
虽然在状植物中很常见,但在enantiostylous植物中相互的herkogamy很少见.

研究的目的:

为了研究加勒比海植物Cubanicula xanthorrhizos.enantiostylous的授粉和生殖系统.
为了了解互惠herkogamy在enantiostylous植物中的作用.
为了探索花多形态的演变.

主要方法:

评估了笔型的方向,并进行了受控授粉实验.
使用了花访客的录像和花粉负载分析.
测量了花形态,花粉生产,光谱反射率和挥发性排放.

主要成果:

库巴尼库拉 (Cubanicula xanthorrhizos) 呈现二形态的enantiostyly与大约50:50左右的左和右风格的形态.
没有花蜜的花朵被雌性木匠蜜蜂 (Xylocopa cubaecola) 授粉,这些蜜蜂收集花粉,有时是通过超声波授粉.
一个偏向的授粉在蜜蜂上沉积了花粉,促进了与镜像形态的污名的接触.

结论:

在C. xanthorrhizos中,这种风格与单个授粉茎的互惠性促进了形间的花粉输出.
花粉通过收集花粉的蜜蜂的"安全地点"转移花粉.

Pollination and Flower Structure

Pollination and Flower Structure

Flowers are the reproductive, seed-producing structures of angiosperms. Typically, flowers consist of sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels. Sepals and petals are the vegetative flower organs. Stamens and carpels are the reproductive organs.

Genetics of Speciation

Genetics of Speciation

Speciation is the evolutionary process resulting in the formation of new, distinct species—groups of reproductively isolated populations.

Functional Groups

Functional Groups

Functional groups are a group of atoms with characteristic properties, which when linked to the carbon skeleton of a molecule, alter the properties of that molecule. For example, the presence of certain functional groups on a molecule will make them hydrophilic, whereas others will make them hydrophobic. These functional groups are an indispensable part of organic chemistry and important components of biological molecules, such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Each...

Functionalism

Functionalism

William James, John Dewey, and Charles Sanders Peirce were instrumental in founding functional psychology, which draws heavily from Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. This theory suggests that individual traits, including behaviors, are adapted to their environments through natural selection. At the heart of functionalism is the concept of adaptation, meaning that a trait enhances an individual's chances of survival and reproduction.
James envisioned psychology's...

Mechanical Protein Functions

Mechanical Protein Functions

Proteins perform many mechanical functions in a cell. These proteins can be classified into two general categories- proteins that generate mechanical forces and proteins that are subjected to mechanical forces. Proteins providing mechanical support to the structure of the cell, such as keratin, are subjected to mechanical force, whereas proteins involved in cell movement and transport of molecules across cell membranes, such as an ion pump, are examples of generating mechanical force.
