1/5 Dense branching🌿and spines are common in plants under high mammalian herbivory. This paper by Anest et al. (2024, Nature Plants) shows how these traits combine into powerful defensive cage architectures. 👉 doi.org/10.1038/s414... #Evolution #Botany #Ecology @artemisanest.bsky.social
Blocking then stinging as a case of two-step evolution of defensive cage architectures in herbivore-driven ecosystems - Nature Plants
This study explores the evolution of two traits, branching density and spine presence, in the globally distributed plant family Combretaceae. These traits were found to have appeared in a two-step pro...
