Evolutionary diversification of new Caledonian Araucaria.
New Caledonia is a global biodiversity hotspot. Hypotheses for its biotic richness suggest either that the island is a 'museum' for an old Gondwana biota or alternatively it has developed following relatively recent long distance dispersal and in situ ...

Phylogenetic biogeography of Araucaria (Araucariaceae)
The analysis of molecular data of all 19 recent species of the genus Araucaria Juss. (Araucariaceae) wascarried out and original cladogramm was build. Based on the cladogramm, the map of correlations of the phylogeneticrelationships and the distribution of all recent Araucaria species is proposed.

Arachidonic and eicosapentaenoic acids in Araucariaceae, a unique feature among seed plants
It is generally admitted that seed plants (spermaphytes) are unable to synthesize either arachidonic or eicosapentaenoic acids (AA and EPA), the classic essential fatty acids in animals.

New data on the stem and leaf anatomy of two conifers from the Lower Cretaceous of the Araripe Basin, northeastern Brazil, and their taxonomic and paleoecological implications. [PDF]
Pseudofrenelopsis and Brachyphyllum are two conifers that were part of the Lower Cretaceous (Aptian) taphoflora of the Crato Formation, Araripe Basin, northeastern Brazil. The former genus includes, so far, P.

Growth inhibition of an Araucaria angustifolia (Coniferopsida) fungal seed pathogen, Neofusicoccum parvum, by soil streptomycetes [PDF]
Background: Araucariaceae are important forest trees of the southern hemisphere. Life expectancy of their seedlings can largely be reduced by fungal infections.

Amber imitation? Two unusual cases of Pinus resin-coated beads in Iberian Late Prehistory (3rd and 2nd millennia BC) [PDF]
A group of beads from the artificial cave of La Molina (Lora de Estepa, Sevilla) and Cova del Gegant (Sitges, Barcelona) were made from a biogenic raw material and intentionally covered by a layer of resin.

Comparison of species classification models of mass spectrometry data : kernel discriminant analysis vs. random forest : a case study of Afrormosia (Pericopsis elata (Harms) Meeuwen) [PDF]
Rationale: The genus Pericopsis includes four tree species of which only Pericopsis elata (Harms) Meeuwen is of commercial interest. Enforcement officers might have difficulties discerning this CITES-listed species from some other tropical African timber
