On the phytogeography of coniferales in the European cenozoic [PDF]

open access: yesPalaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 1967
It has been shown that there were more coniferous genera to be found in Europe during the Tertiary than there are at the present-day. Some of the genera now occur only in America and the Far East. Many such genera were present in the Neogene of Europe and one of these, Tsuga, remained in Europe into the Late Pleistocene. Other genera found in Europe at

Use and misuse of trait imputation in ecology: the problem of using out‐of‐context imputed values

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2025, Issue 6, June 2025.
Despite the progress in the measurement and accessibility of plant trait information, acquiring sufficiently complete data from enough species to answer broad‐scale questions in plant functional ecology and biogeography remains challenging. A common way to overcome this challenge is by imputation, or ‘gap‐filling' of trait values.
