New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 52, Issue 4, Page 349-366, December 2025.ABSTRACT Kauri (Agathis australis), a tree species endemic to northern New Zealand, is threatened by kauri dieback disease, caused by the plant pathogen Phytophthora agathidicida. Some human and animal activities capable of disturbing and transferring infected soil may facilitate the spread of this pathogen.

Phylogenetic relationships within Araucariaceae based on rbcL gene sequences [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 1998 Phylogenetic relationships were determined in the Araucariaceae, which are now found mainly in the Southern Hemisphere. This conifer family was well diversified and widely distributed in both hemispheres during the Mesozoic era. The sequence of 1322 bases of the rbcL gene of cpDNA was determined from 29 species of Araucariaceae, representing almost all

MioVeg1: A Global Middle Miocene Vegetation Reconstruction for Climate Modeling
Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 40, Issue 11, November 2025.Abstract Climate models require boundary condition information, such as vegetation and soil distributions because they influence the mean state climate, and feedbacks can significantly influence regional climate and climate sensitivity to CO2 forcing.

First South American Agathis (Araucariaceae), Eocene of Patagonia
American Journal of Botany, 2014 • Premise of the study: Agathis is an iconic genus of large, ecologically important, and economically valuable conifers that range over lowland to upper montane rainforests from New Zealand to Sumatra. Exploitation of its timber and copal has greatly reduced the genus's numbers.
