Revealing the mode of pollination in extant basal angiosperms might shed light on the evolution of early angiosperms (Hu et al. 2008). Because an extant basal-most angiosperm, Amborella trichopoda, is pollinated by a diversity of arthropods, the extinct early angiosperms might have been pollination generalists (Gottsberger 2016). Other extant basal angiosperms, including Schisandraceae, are pollinated by specialized insects that use flowers as mating and larval development sites (i.e., brood-site pollination mutualism; Pellmyr and Thien 1986, Luo et al. 2017). However, the pollination biology of many lineages of extant basal angiosperms is still unknown.

Acorus calamus 的昆虫学：对最基部单子叶植物的育雏点授粉互惠的影响

揭示现存的基部被子植物的授粉模式可能会揭示早期被子植物的进化（Hu et al. 2008）。由于现存的最基部被子植物 Amborella trichopoda 由多种节肢动物授粉，因此灭绝的早期被子植物可能是授粉通才（Gottsberger 2016）。其他现存的基部被子植物，包括五味子科，是由以花为交配和幼虫发育场所的特殊昆虫授粉的（即，育雏点授粉互惠；Pellmyr 和 Thien 1986，Luo 等，2017）。然而，现存的基部被子植物的许多谱系的授粉生物学仍然未知。
