Ecography, Volume 2023, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Many biodiversity hotspots are located in montane regions, thus, understanding the underlying mechanisms driving species assembly along elevational gradients is of major interest in ecology and biogeography. Here, we assess spatial patterns and climatic drivers, and the effects of clade age, on patterns of phylogenetic structure of ferns along the ...

Insect Science, Volume 29, Issue 5, Page 1483-1520, October 2022., 2022 The Early Cretaceous terrestrial revolution was manifested by global shifts from gymnosperm‐ to angiosperm‐dominated floras. However, responses of insect herbivores to these changes remain unexamined. We evaluated 2 176 plant specimens representing 62 species/morphotypes from the 126‐122 Ma Dawangzhangzi plant assemblage of Northeastern China.

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 67, Issue S1, Page S38-S53, February 2022., 2022 Abstract Community ecology has had a strong focus on single snapshots of species compositional variation in time. However, environmental change often occurs slowly at relatively broad spatio‐temporal scales, which requires historically explicit assessments of long‐term metacommunity dynamics, such as the order of species arrival during community ...

Proceedings of the Japan Academy, Series B, 1982 Sphenophytes are a common floral element in the Triassic of Gondwana. Most sphenophyte compression fossils have been conventionally assigned to a few, presumably very widespread species of Neocalamites based on vegetative features of the stems (or pith casts) and the foliage.

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 1, Page 254-271, January 2022., 2022 Abstract Ferns are the second most diverse group of land plants after angiosperms. Extant species occupy a wide range of habitats and contribute significantly to ecosystem functioning. Despite the importance of ferns, most taxa are poorly covered by genomic resources and within‐species studies based on high‐resolution markers are entirely lacking.

New Phytologist, Volume 230, Issue 3, Page 1201-1213, May 2021., 2021 Summary Ferns appear in the fossil record some 200 Myr before angiosperms. However, as angiosperm‐dominated forest canopies emerged in the Cretaceous period there was an explosive diversification of modern (leptosporangiate) ferns, which thrived in low, blue‐enhanced light beneath angiosperm canopies.

Plant macrofossils, ichnofossils, facies analysis and palaeoenvironment interpretation of the Hojedk Formation in the north of Kerman (Central Iran) [PDF]
Journal of Stratigraphy and Sedimentology Researches, 2019 This study led to identify 30 species and 16 genera of eight different plant macrofossils orders including Equisetales, Cycadales, Bennettitales, Coniferales, Peltaspermales, Ginkgoales, Corystospermales, and Filicales at the Deh-Shiykh section, north of

Environmentally driven extinction and opportunistic origination explain fern diversification patterns. [PDF]
, 2017 Combining palaeontological and neontological data offers a unique opportunity to investigate the relative roles of biotic and abiotic controls of species diversification, and the importance of origination versus extinction in driving evolutionary ...

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 The Equisetum genus, Equisetaceae family, is widely distributed worldwide and may be the oldest nonextinct genus on Earth. There are about 30 known species, which are very often used in traditional medicine with diverse applications. This review aimed to compile scientific reports about Equisetum species with relevant pharmacological properties and/or ...
