SUMMARY Speciation is the fundamental process driving the origin of earth biodiversity. While speciation mechanisms have been revealed in many plant taxa, the evolutionary dynamics of heterosporous lycophytes remain largely unexplored. Here, we used the Selaginella sanguinolenta group, comprising seven montane species in eastern Asia, as a model system.

Bridging a biogeographic 'gap' : microfossil evidence for the quillwort Isoetes on the Cumberland Plain west of Sydney during the early Colonial period [PDF]
Fossil spores preserved on historical archaeological sites at Parramatta and Richmond indicate that two or more species of the quillwort genus Isoetes (family Isoetaceae) were growing along rivers on the Cumberland Plain, west of Sydney, during the late ...

Holocene shoreline displacement and the impact of the Storegga tsunami on Hinnøya, northern Norway
The Holocene relative sea‐level (RSL) history of Norway's largest island, Hinnøya, has been investigated in detail, using sediment records from 25 isolation basins. The sediments were analysed for macrofossil and phytoplankton content, which served as the basis for identifying marine–lacustrine transitions, that is isolation contacts. Terrestrial plant

Two LEAFY homologs ILFY1 and ILFY2 control reproductive and vegetative developments in Isoetes L.
LEAFY (LFY) is a plant-specific transcription factor, which is found in algae and all land plants. LFY homologs exert ancestral roles in regulating cell division and obtain novel functions to control floral identity. Isoetes L.

Decadal Shifts in Lake Macrophyte Communities Trace the Impact of Global Change in the Pyrenees
ABSTRACT High‐mountain lakes are among the most sensitive ecosystems to global environmental change. Their remote locations and low anthropogenic disturbance make them ideal sentinels for detecting subtle, long‐term ecological responses. This study investigated decadal‐scale changes in aquatic macrophyte communities and water chemistry across a network
