The
purpose of the Evolution of Plant and Pollinator project is to
publish a book titled Faculative Evolution: Behavior of the Plant
and Pollinator. The goal is to illustrate evidence of how plant
and animal converge over evolutionary time with regard to
pollination.
Research papers from many sources are invaluable to this project. I
maintain records of which two are shown below (plant list and
bibliography). Other records include a dictionary of terms;
crop-pollinator index; orchid-pollinator index and artists.
To date my research comprises of a 70 page manuscript with the
following table of contents:
I. The
Evolution of Co-Evolved Pollination Figures 1, 2 and 3
II. Land and
Climate
III. Need for
Pollination Figures 4 and 5
IV. Radiation of Body
Parts
V. Animal Radiations and
Associations
VI. Indirect Evidence
VII. Direct Evidence
VIII. Plant Radiations that record
the 1st co evolved plant and pollinator Figures 6 and 7
IX. Evidence Depicting That
Pollination Persists Today From the Mid-Cretaceous Diversity
X. Conservation and
Ecology
Figure inclusions are:
1-2&3. Geological time scale of recorded convergent
evolution from various sites dating Cenozoic to Paleozoic
4.
Chart showing the development of land plants
5.
Chart showing the development of animals
6.
Chart showing the radiation of the bilateral flower
7.
Chart showing the radiation of fleshy fruit and nut dispersal
I intend to include fossil photographs and personal illustration
throughout the book including original plates depicting the
following examples:
12 art works of pollination persisting today (in order
of occurrence)
8 art works depicting variations in pollination
10 art works depicting Specialized pollinators
5 art works depicting Co-evolved plant-pollinator
interaction
