Missouri Botanical Garden's cycad collection: A journey through time

open access: yesPlant Species Biology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 607-624, November 2025.
This article summarizes the history of the Missouri Botanical Garden's extensive cycad collection. Some of the specimens currently housed in the living collections date back well over 100 years. Cycads continue to face a myriad of threats in the wild, and their conservation in ex situ collections is of critical importance to assist in their survival ...

Integrative taxonomy of the Ceratozamia mexicana Brongn. (Zamiaceae) species complex from a phylogeographic perspective

open access: yesPlant Species Biology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 530-546, November 2025.
Recent research has ignited a renewed interest in Ceratozamia cycads, unveiling their remarkable diversity. While previous studies primarily focused on morphology, this investigation employs a multidisciplinary approach, integrating phylogenetics, morphology, and ecological niches. Our methods identify seven distinct lineages as separate species.

Preface of Special Feature “Current topics on cycad biology: Deciphering the Rosetta Stone of plant evolution.” Part II: Perspectives from natural history

open access: yesPlant Species Biology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 527-529, November 2025.
Often regarded as “living fossils,” cycads are well known for retaining many ancestral traits, which makes them particularly fascinating to naturalists and scientists alike. Cycads provide insights into the functional and developmental processes underlying the origin and diversification of seed plants, and they may help clarify how they colonized the ...

Perspectives on Endosymbiosis in Coralloid Roots: Association of Cycads and Cyanobacteria

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Past endosymbiotic events allowed photosynthetic organisms to flourish and evolve in terrestrial areas. The precursor of chloroplasts was an ancient photosynthetic cyanobacterium.

Evolutionary implications of a deep‐time perspective on insect pollination

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 4, Page 1452-1466, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Plant pollination by insects represents one of the most transformative and iconic ecological relationships in the natural world. Despite tens of thousands of papers, as well as numerous books, on pollination biology published over the past 200 years, most studies focused on the fossil record of pollinating insects have only been published in ...
