FITNESS FUNCTION. “Interestingly, fusion of filaments alone is typically found in the early diverging angiosperms in flowers with many petals, while fusion events involving both anthers (connective) and filament are typically correlated with petal fusion, indicating that stamen fusion may have adaptive significance in flowers with tubular petals, increasing fitness through improved mechanisms of pollen reception or dispersal.”
