Disentangling enabler and adaptive traits across habitat shifts in a large neotropical plant clade
Plant lineages tend to retain their ancestral environments, yet some successfully shift into new habitats. However, the factors that enable certain lineages to colonize novel environments while others fail to do so remain unclear. We tested whether vegetative traits function as enablers of habitat transitions, whereas reproductive traits evolve primarily as adaptive responses following these…
