Extrapolating demography with climate, proximity and phylogeny: approach with caution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Plant population responses are key to understanding the effects of threats such as climate change and invasions. However, we lack demographic data for most species, and the data we have are often geographically aggregated.

The evolutionary history of Coleoptera (Insecta) in the late Palaeozoic and the Mesozoic

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 355-388, July 2024.
Structural transformations of the elytra and abdomen played a major role in the early beetle evolution in the Permian. Polyphaga appear late in the fossil record, with only a few fossils of Elateriformia in the Late Triassic. Several factors were involved in the enormous diversification of beetles in the Cretaceous but evolutionary interactions with ...

Parallel evolution of angiosperm‐like venation in Peltaspermales: a reinvestigation of Furcula

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 242, Issue 6, Page 2845-2856, June 2024.
Summary Leaf venation is a pivotal trait in the success of vascular plants. Whereas gymnosperms have single or sparsely branched parallel veins, angiosperms developed a hierarchical structure of veins that form a complex reticulum. Its physiological consequences are considered to have enabled angiosperms to dominate terrestrial ecosystems in the Late ...

Endemic plant relict [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Endemi su organizmi koji žive na određenom ograničenom geografskom području i nigdje drugdje na svijetu. Prema starosti razlikujemo reliktne endeme (paleoendeme) i neoendeme.

Patterns of variation in fleshy diaspore size and abundance from Late Triassic–Oligocene

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 2, Page 430-457, April 2024.
ABSTRACT Vertebrate‐mediated seed dispersal is a common attribute of many living plants, and variation in the size and abundance of fleshy diaspores is influenced by regional climate and by the nature of vertebrate seed dispersers among present‐day floras.

Evolutionary and ecological trends in the Neotropical cycad genus Dioon (Zamiaceae): An example of success of evolutionary stasis

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 131-158, March 2024.
Cycads represent an example of the success of evolutionary stasis. Despite its conservative nature, the cycad genus Dioon has been able to diversify due to phylogenetic, stochastic, and environmental factors associated with the biogeography of Mexico. Abstract Cycads represent an example of the success of evolutionary stasis. Despite their early origin,

Mongolitria: A new Early Cretaceous three‐valved seed from Northeast Asia

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 111, Issue 2, February 2024.
Abstract Premise Fossil seeds recovered from the Early Cretaceous of Mongolia and Inner Mongolia, China, are described and assigned to Mongolitria gen. nov., a new genus of gymnosperm seed. Methods Abundant lignitized seeds along with compression specimens isolated from the matrix were studied using a combination of scanning electron microscopy ...

On the taxonomic resolution of pollen and spore records of Earth’s vegetation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Premise of research. Pollen and spores (sporomorphs) are a valuable record of plant life and have provided information on subjects ranging from the nature and timing of evolutionary events to the relationship between vegetation and climate.
