The evolution of flowering plants (angiosperms) significantly impacted the radiation of birds by providing diverse and abundant food sources, such as fruits and nectar, which attracted various bird species. This led to co-evolution, where birds adapted to exploit these resources, resulting in specialized feeding behaviors and beak shapes. Additionally, the proliferation of flowering plants created more varied habitats, promoting ecological niches that facilitated the diversification of bird species. Overall, the rise of angiosperms played a crucial role in shaping avian evolution and biodiversity.
Evolution.
The earliest known flowering plants date to the early Cretaceous period, around 140 million years ago. This period marked the rapid diversification and evolution of flowering plants.
This is an example of coevolution, where two or more species reciprocally affect each other's evolution. In this case, the flowering plants and insects have evolved traits that benefit each other, such as the plants producing nectar for the insects in exchange for pollination services.
hmm... ask someone who cares. It is a case of parallel evolution
Plants are affected by UV rays. Some of them die in their presence.
You get both flowering plants and non-flowering plants; non-flowering are things like mosses, ferns and liverworts which produce spore, flowering plants produce seeds
There are two types of flowering plants. These two types of flowering plants are the perennials and the annual flowering plants.
The major radiation of pollinating insects, particularly bees and butterflies, occurred during the Cretaceous period, around 100 million years ago. This radiation coincided with the diversification of flowering plants, suggesting a co-evolutionary relationship between these insects and plants.
Flowering plants and bees. I believe this is called symbiosis.

Flowering plants require pollinatio non-flowering plants do not.
