…out of synch with the population every second period of their reduced interval. So, earlier initial flowering intervals are not recoverable, and thus the population's flowering interval can only increase. The evolution of extended flowering intervals in bamboos may therefore represent an instance of Dollo's law, or irreversibility in evolution (22). Finally, the logic underlying this mechanism of interval growth yields a simple, testable numerical prediction. If the extraordinary flowering intervals observed today are the result of successive…
