Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the evolution of grasses, presenting an evolutionary tree of the grass family (Poaceae or Gramineae). Other topics discussed include: dinosaurs did not eat grasses; what happened when the grass originated; the grass spikelet orginated in several steps; what happened before and after the grasses originated; and using the evolutionary tree to determine evolutionary changes. Concludes that "the collaborative work of the GPWG [Grass Phylogeny Working Group] has resolved the broad outline of grass phylogeny, and we now know with considerable confidence which species are most closely related. This has produced a number of surprises, including the gradual evolution of the spikelet, the relatively late shift into open habitats, and the apparently recent diversification of the family." |
