许多开花植物科的多样性归因于授粉和交配系统的适应性辐射，伴随着生态和生活史的变化。因此，种子植物的繁殖性状为比较和系统发育研究提供了潜在的丰富多样性来源。在这里，我们解决三个主题的生殖生物学：花卉分配策略，交配系统和生活史，以及复杂的生殖综合征的起源，使用各种比较方法。这些研究的结果通常补充和通知选择从以前的微进化工作在人口水平上。有关生殖性状进化的历史推论在某些类群中可能会受到树重建中拓扑不确定性和分子遗传学中缺乏分辨率的阻碍。未来的见解，生态学和进化的植物生殖适应比较的方法将需要很好地解决的遗传，特别是在物种水平上。
The diversification of many flowering plant families has been attributed to adaptive radiation of pollination and mating systems accompanying changes in ecology and life history. Reproductive traits in seed plants therefore provide a potentially rich source of diversity for comparative and phylogenetic studies. Here we address three topics in reproductive biology: floral allocation strategies, mating systems and life history, and the origin of complex reproductive syndromes using various comparative methods. Results from these studies generally complement and inform chose obtained from previous microevolutionary work at the population level. Historical inferences concerning reproductive character evolution in some taxa can be hampered by topological uncertainties in tree reconstruction and a lack of resolution in molecular phylogenies. Future insights into the ecology and evolution of plant reproductive adaptations using comparative approaches will require well resolved phylogenies, particularly at the species level.
