This recent publication from Professor of Biology Mike Moore explores the evolution of fruiting structures in Nyctaginaceae, known as the Four-o'clock family of flowering trees, shrubs, and herbs.

From the abstract: We investigate anthocarp evolution in Nyctaginaceae through extensive anatomical studies (159 species from 28 genera representing six of seven tribes) and phylogenetic character state reconstructions. We found highly diverse anthocarp anatomy across Nyctaginaceae, with most traits analysed evolving multiple times throughout the family.
