  "summary": "Flowers, fruits, and seeds form a developmental sequence in angiosperm reproduction, meaning that evolutionary changes in traits associated with one organ are expected to affect the others; yet these structures are rarely analyzed jointly at macroevolutionary scales. We here test whether evolutionary correlations among angiosperm reproductive traits reflect hierarchical constraints and allocation…",
