Abstract

•Fruits of Phyllolobium heydei evolved remarkably similar to stones.•Stone-like fruits may protect the fruits from herbivores and thereby increase ensure reproductive success.•Concealment of fruits from herbivores may represent a general adaptive strategy in harsh alpine environments.

一种高山豆科植物（phylloobium heydei）的石状果实与减少草食性和提高生殖成功率有关。

•叶lolobium heydei的果实进化与石头非常相似。•石状果实可以保护果实免受食草动物的侵害，从而提高生殖成功率。•在恶劣的高山环境中，将水果隐藏起来不让食草动物发现可能是一种普遍的适应策略。

期刊介绍： Plant Diversity (formerly Plant Diversity and Resources) is an international plant science journal that publishes substantial original research and review papers that advance our understanding of the past and current distribution of plants, contribute to the development of more phylogenetically accurate taxonomic classifications, present new findings on or insights into evolutionary processes and mechanisms that are of interest to the community of plant systematic and evolutionary biologists. While the focus of the journal is on biodiversity, ecology and evolution of East Asian flora, it is not limited to these topics. Applied evolutionary issues, such as climate change and conservation biology, are welcome, especially if they address conceptual problems. Theoretical papers are equally welcome. Preference is given to concise, clearly written papers focusing on precisely framed questions or hypotheses. Papers that are purely descriptive have a low chance of acceptance. Fields covered by the journal include: plant systematics and taxonomy- evolutionary developmental biology- reproductive biology- phylo- and biogeography- evolutionary ecology- population biology- conservation biology- palaeobotany- molecular evolution- comparative and evolutionary genomics- physiology- biochemistry
