On the islands of Hawaii there are a group of about 30 species of highly variable, but closely related, species of plants called silverswords. These species appear to be related to a small group of plants in North America. What are the silverswords

Some features in organisms can be compared to spandrels in architecture in that, although they appear to have a function, they are really just there because of the evolution of other structures. This analogy is used as an argument for care in identi
