CHAPTER 6 Spatial Patterns of Diversity The historical record raises questions
such as , Why has diversity varied over time ? Has it usually been at an
ecological equilibrium ? Why have particular groups existed at some times but
not others ?

Families of plants differ largely in patterns of fusion among floral structures . Such
patterns are also attributable to changes in developmental timing . For example ,
petals may be fused into a tube if the tissues ( intercalary meristems ) between ...
