Vegetation and climate change at the southern margin of the Neo-Tethys during the Cenomanian (Late Cretaceous): Evidence from Egypt.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Changes in terrestrial vegetation during the mid-Cretaceous and their link to climate and environmental change are poorly understood. In this study, we use plant macrofossils and analysis of fossil pollen and spores from the Western Desert, Egypt, to ...

Microbial communities on eelgrass (Zostera marina) thriving in Tokyo Bay and the possible source of leaf-attached microbes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Zostera marina (eelgrass) is classified as one of the marine angiosperms and is widely distributed throughout much of the Northern Hemisphere. The present study investigated the microbial community structure and diversity of Z.

Rare long‐distance dispersal of a marine angiosperm across the Pacific Ocean [PDF]

Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2018
AbstractAimLong‐distance dispersal (LDD) events occur rarely but play a fundamental role in shaping species biogeography. Lying at the heart of island biogeography theory, LDD relies on unusual events to facilitate colonization of new habitats and range expansion.

Improved chromosome-level genome assembly and annotation of the seagrass, Zostera marina (eelgrass) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

F1000Research, 2021
Background: Seagrasses (Alismatales) are the only fully marine angiosperms. Zostera marina (eelgrass) plays a crucial role in the functioning of coastal marine ecosystems and global carbon sequestration.

The Cell Wall of Seagrasses: Fascinating, Peculiar and a Blank Canvas for Future Research

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Seegrasses are a polyphyletic group of angiosperm plants, which evolved from early monocotyledonous land plants and returned to the marine environment around 140 million years ago.

Ecomorphological diversification of squamates in the Cretaceous [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2021
Squamates (lizards and snakes) are highly successful modern vertebrates, with over 10 000 species. Squamates have a long history, dating back to at least 240 million years ago (Ma), and showing increasing species richness in the Late Cretaceous (84 Ma ...

Seagrass genomes reveal a hexaploid ancestry facilitating adaptation to the marine environment

bioRxiv, 2023
Seagrasses comprise the only submerged marine angiosperms, a feat of adaptation from three independent freshwater lineages within the Alismatales. These three parallel lineages offer the unique opportunity to study convergent versus lineage-specific ...

The fossil recordand evolution of freshwater plants: A review

Geologica Acta, 2003
Palaeobotany applied to freshwater plants is an emerging field of palaeontology. Hydrophytic plants reveal evolutionary trends of their own, clearly distinct from those of the terrestrial and marine flora.

The nationwide ‘ZNIEFF’ inventory in France: an open dataset of more than one million species data in zones of high ecological value [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2022
In France, a ‘natural zone of ecological, faunistic or floristic value’ (Zone Naturelle d'Intérêt Écologique, Faunistique et Floristique - ZNIEFF) is a natural area, regionally known for its remarkable ecological characteristics.

Microbial communities in sediment from Zostera marina patches, but not the Z. marina leaf or root microbiomes, vary in relation to distance from patch edge [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Background Zostera marina (also known as eelgrass) is a foundation species in coastal and marine ecosystems worldwide and is a model for studies of seagrasses (a paraphyletic group in the order Alismatales) that include all the known fully submerged ...
