Does Phytogeography Change with Shifts in Geopolitics? The Curious Case of Cycads in the United States

Diversity, 2020
The United States is currently home to five native cycad species. We provide a discussion on these five cycad species to illuminate how evolutionary and geopolitical processes influence phytogeography and published checklists of threatened plants.

Nuclear ribosomal ITS functional paralogs resolve the phylogenetic relationships of a late-Miocene radiation cycad Cycas (Cycadaceae). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Cycas is the most widespread and diverse genus among the ancient cycads, but the extant species could be the product of late Miocene rapid radiations.

Hydrophobia of gymnosperms: myth or reality? A global analysis [PDF]

, 2014
According to the classical textbooks, the gymnosperms are the only seed plants without aquatic species. Recently, however, a set of virtually complete compilations on gymnosperms has been published, enabling a new evaluation of the putative hydrophobia ...
