TORONTO, ON (Canada) - New research by scientists at the University of Toronto (U of T) offers novel insights into why and how wind-pollinated plants have evolved from insect-pollinated ancestors.

The Laramie chickensage is unusual among the hundreds of species of sagebrush, most of which are primarily pollinated by the wind. A rare species of sagebrush found only in southeast Wyoming survives ...

Transitions between animal and wind pollination have occurred in many lineages and have been linked to various floral modifications, but these have seldom been assessed in a phylogenetic framework. In ...

The discovery, detailed this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, is the oldest known record of insect pollination. (Pollination occurs when either the wind or an ...
