¿CO-EVOLUCIÓN MORFOLÓGICA ENTRE LOS PICOS DE LOS COLIBRÍES Y LAS COROLAS DE LAS PLANTAS?
In studies of the hummingbird-plant interaction the researchers have observed a pattern in<br />which these organisms seem to be associated according to the morphological adjustment<br />between hummingbird´s peaks and plant´s corollas, and is believed to be the result of<br />morphology co-evolution between these structures, but, certain facts not consistent with this<br />idea could lead to another interpretation of the phenomenon. I propose a diferent idea through<br />analysis from: the morphological and ecological generalism in the interaction, and the<br />importance of nectar for hummingbirds, phenomena that could explain the pattern. Probably<br />the morphology of hummingbird´s peak and plant´s corollas have different causes to the<br />interaction.
