The inlet pictures show three iconic examples of insular woodiness: Echium virescens on the Canaries (picture F. Lens), Argyroxiphium sandwicense, and Dubautia waialealae on Hawaii (silverswords ...

Minimum number of evolutionary shifts to insular woodiness and number of insular woody species on archipelagos worldwide. Only archipelagos with at least one evolutionary shift are shown for clarity.

The cause of this woodiness, while not yet proven, is likely linked to chickens selectively bred for large breasts and forced to grow rapidly, which changes the meat's muscle structure and quality.
