Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Understanding palaeodiversity dynamics through time and space is a central goal of macroevolution. Estimating palaeodiversity dynamics has been historically addressed with fossil data because it directly reflects the past variations of biodiversity ...

Transcriptome sequencing data provide a solid base to understand the phylogenetic relationships, biogeography and reticulated evolution of the genus Zamia L. (Cycadales: Zamiaceae). [PDF]
Ann BotBACKGROUND AND AIMS Cycad is a key lineage to understand the early evolution of seed plants and their response to past environmental changes. However, tracing the evolutionary trajectory of cycad species is challenging when the robust relationships at ...

Recent advances on phylogenomics of gymnosperms and a new classification [PDF]
Plant Diversity, 2022 Living gymnosperms comprise four major groups: cycads, Ginkgo, conifers, and gnetophytes. Relationships among/within these lineages have not been fully resolved.

Detection of traces of calcium oxalate druses in fossil leaves of angiosperms and gymnosperms from different sites and geological periods. [PDF]
PLoS ONECalcium biomineralization in plants occurs in a variety of patterns such as calcium carbonate cystoliths and calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystals and agglomerates in different forms. CaOx druses and prismatic crystals with sizes between 20-100 µm are found in

Reconciling fossils with phylogenies reveals the origin and macroevolutionary processes explaining the global cycad biodiversity. [PDF]
New Phytol, 2023 Summary The determinants of biodiversity patterns can be understood using macroevolutionary analyses. The integration of fossils into phylogenies offers a deeper understanding of processes underlying biodiversity patterns in deep time. Cycadales are considered a relict of a once more diverse and globally distributed group but are restricted to low ...
