Correction: First came the beetles and flies as flower pollinators. Many angiosperms are older than hymenoptera and lepidoptera, like Magoliaceae, Nympheacea and Annonaceae. This leaves Diptera and Coleoptera as most likely original pollinators of the oldest flowering plants. The oldest extant angiosperms are clearly evolved to attract beetles and flies.
@Ozraptor44 жыл бұрын
Not anymore. The whole crux of the recent discoveries discussed in the video is that Lepidoptera were already around during the earliest Jurassic and were pre-adapted for the evolution of flowers later in the Mesozoic. Additionally, the hymenopteran fossil record now extends into the Late Triassic.
@torres83234 жыл бұрын
@@Ozraptor4 I haven't disagreed with the evidence in this video, and thought it was great, however a dearth of evidence leaves quite a bit of mystery around what came first, pollinators or flowers, or that they drove one another's evolution. I listened carefully to the video, nothing mentioned suggests that lepidoptera or hymenoptera predate Cleoptera or diptera as pollinators, in fact this matter was not even duacussed. And again, the oldest of flowering forms, are clearly designed for cantharphily, beetle pollination. You can see it if you know flowers well. Look at magnolias, one of the oldest of floweing families for example, no butterfly will land in its bowl shaped flower, and bees rarely visit. If one looks one will find magnolia flowers filled with beetles. Think on the morphology of flowers, bees use flowers that fit their bodies, butterflies too. Butterflies cannot use many flowers, they need something to land on. The kinds of flowers butterflies and bees use were not the oldest flowers, but instead we find the oldest flowering plants attract beetles and flies and are designed to encourage their help in pollination. It does seem, though that it was the diversification of both hymenoptera and lepidoptera that was the impetus behind the later rapid diversification of angiosperms, the beetles never really adapted further in this regard.

first came the bees? My understanding is that the first pollinating animals were beetle-like (koleoptera) and that their flowers of choice were big and edible. Then came the bees, who were able to pollinate without damaging the flower - which was a considerable evolutionary advantage. This is also the reason that among the most "primitive" flowers are the large magnolias.

As far as I know, the first flowers weren't very colourful, so their eyes didn't need to be all that well adapted in the beginning. The first flower colours were white and yellow, which would have looked bright and clear enough against green leaves. I'm guessing that an accumulation of mutations in eye structure allowed them to see differing colours as flowers also began to evolve and mutate new colours.

At 0:39, you say the scales “contain coloured pigment”. This is not true. The colour of butterfly and moth wings do derive from the scales, but the scales do not contain any pigments. They instead make use of a phenomenon known as structural colour. Basically, the microstructure of the scales are at the same size as wavelengths of visible light, and the light interacts with the scale microstructure via constructive and destructive interference of the light rays. This causes the vibrant iridescent look on butterfly wings, as the light interacts differently depending on the angle you look at the butterfly. This is also how opals get their colour.

Sorry to disappoint you but you are in the wrong. Butterfly and moth wings do use ordinary pigments like melanin as well as the structural colour of the scales. Citing the source provided by @noconflicts: "The combination of a butterfly's structural and pigmented color can create interesting effects. For example, if you saw a butterfly with yellow pigment underneath a structure that creates a blue iridescent color, you might see a green shade, made by the merging of the two colors. Or depending on your viewpoint, you might see blue, yellow, green or a combination of the three. Your view would change as the butterfly moves its wings and the light enters at different angles."
