Extroparvum occidentale gen. et sp. nov. and the Cretaceous diversification of Lauraceae. [PDF]
Abstract Premise The fossil record of Lauraceae extends back to the Early Cretaceous and comprises numerous flowers. However, phylogenetic relationships of many of these fossil flowers remain unresolved. To better understand the early evolutionary history of Lauraceae, we conducted phylogenetic analyses of living and extinct members of the family and ...

Trimerous magnoliid flowers with a unique set of floral and pollen traits from the Late Cretaceous of Southern Bohemia (Czech Republic). [PDF]
Morphospace position and phylogenetic placements of Trimeriantha monopolyada. Summary Floral structure is a key aspect of angiosperm diversity. Recent research revealed that significant floral disparity was already present in the Cretaceous. However, our understanding of early floral diversity remains limited, as it is directly dependent on the fossil ...

Shrubs and trees as natural insect protection for grazing animals in Switzerland and the alpine region: A systematic review of in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials. [PDF]
Biting or irritating insects are a threat to the health and welfare of grazing animals. This systematic review reveals that several shrubs and bushes growing in the alpine area have insecticidal, insect‐repellent and/or attractant properties. The alder Alnus glutinosa, juniper Juniperus communis, spruce Picea abies and walnut Juglans regia are ...
