Multicellular organisms are morphologically very diverse at every scale, regarding size, color, and shape of individuals and of their different parts. Natural selection and developmental constraints influence evolution of these characteristics, on the short term as well as on the long term. The model chosen here to study form evolution is the pollen grain of flowering plants, which is very diversified morphologically. We focused on specific features called apertures, which are structures of the pollen wall involved in survival and reproduction. We studied aperture evolution at large taxonomic scale in angiosperms, and we showed that in spite of variations, two main pollen types dominate: a pollen with one aperture in Monocots and early dive...
