Optimization of the evolution of ornamentation and pollination in Arecaceae. Supertree of Arecaceae where each mirror tree presents the optimization of one character. A. Optimization of ornamentation type (five character states: Psilate, Verrucate, Striate, Echinulate and Foveolate/Reticulate). Pictures are given as illustration for each of these types, they do not correspond to a particular species of the family. They were obtained from http://www.paldat.org. B. Optimization of pollination type (five character states: Beetle, Fly, Bee, Bat and Wind pollination). Species names are coloured according to the subfamilies (Calamoideae in blue, Nypoideae in orange, Coryphoideae in green, Ceroxyloideae in pink and Arecoideae in red).
