Evaluating the use of taxonomy in the IUCN Red List
Abstract Taxonomy defines the units that conservationists strive to preserve for future generations. However, the discovery of new species and the taxonomic revision of existing species affect conservation efforts. Despite the importance of taxonomy for a species’ conservation, there is currently no overview of how those leading species extinction risk

Abstract Premise The modern distribution of the southern cypresses, Callitroideae (Cupressaceae), reflects a classic Gondwanan distribution. The initial diversification of Callitroideae is estimated to have occurred during the Cretaceous, yet fossils from this period are rare, hampering our understanding of its early evolutionary history.

Phyllosphere microbial communities influence the growth and productivity of plants, particularly in epiphytic plants, which are disconnected from nutrients available in the soil. We characterized the phyllosphere of 30 individuals of the epiphytic cycad,

Abstract Podocarps (Podocarpaceae) are one of the few lineages of conifers found in closed canopy tropical forests. They typically have highly restricted distributions that are associated with nutrient‐poor sites. Unlike other tree species, the presence of distinct nodule‐like structures allows their roots to be easily distinguished from those of co ...

Abstract Lepidodendron aculeatum is an arborescent lycopod that populated the vast coal swamps in north‐western and central Europe during the late Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian) from the Bashkirian onwards, dominating the lush vegetation of tropical wetlands.

Cycads: Their evolution, toxins, herbivores and insect pollinators
Palaeobiological evidence indicates that gymnosperms were wind-pollinated and that insect pollination began in angiosperms in the Lower Cretaceous (ca. 135 mya) leading to close associations between higher plants and their pollinators. Cycads, which were

Abstract Late Triassic forests in Central Europe developed under a seasonal sub‐tropical climate while the supercontinent Pangea was breaking up. Although permineralized fossil wood from this interval is abundant, its palaeoclimatic and palaeoecological significance has so far remained largely unexplored.
