Evolutionary Trends in the Hamamelidales-Fagales-Group

  • Chapter

Abstract

Within the Hamamelidales-Fagales-complex putative evolutionary trends are outlined. Structure of inflorescences, flowers, pollen, fruits, and seeds, and peculiarities of the life history, particularly the general delay of ovule development and syngamy in relation to anthesis are demonstrated in the context of pollination and dispersal biology. The most outstanding trend with many correlated characteristics is exhibited by the adaptation to wind pollination in some groups of the Hamamelidales and especially in almost the whole of the Fagales. This seems to be one of the reasons for the dominant position of the Fagales in the vegetation of temperate regions.
