Podocarpaceae in Tropical Forests: A Synthesis [PDF]

Smithsonian Contributions to Botany, 2011
The Podocarpaceae comprises 18 genera and about 173 species of evergreen, coniferous trees and shrubs. It is the most successful gymnosperm family in angiosperm-dominated tropical forests (Brodribb, this volume). Podocarps are distributed mainly in the Southern Hemisphere, with populations also extending as far north as China and Japan and to Mexico ...

FAMILIA PODOCARPACEAE

Flora del Bajío y de Regiones Adyacentes, 2002
La familia está formada por 7 a 17 géneros y aproximadamente 170 especies distribuidas principalmente en las regiones tropicales y subtropicales de ambos hemisferios. Aunque alcanza su mayor desarrollo en el Hemisferio Sur; se extiende hacia el norte hasta China, Japón, México, Centroamérica y el Caribe.

Flora da Bahia: Podocarpaceae [PDF]

SITIENTIBUS série Ciências Biológicas, 2016
The flora of Podocarpaceae, the only family of gymnosperms native to Bahia, Brazil, is presented here. Two species of Podocarpus are recognized: P. lambertii, occurring in the Chapada Diamantina region, and P. sellowii, occurring in the Chapada Diamantina and also in the montane and submontane forests in southern Bahia. Descriptions, identification key,

Ecology of the Podocarpaceae in Tropical Forests

Smithsonian Contributions to Botany, 2011
The emergence of angiosperms in tropical forests at the expense of the gymnosperms, their ancestral relatives, was one of the most important events in the evolutionary history of terrestrial plants. Gymnosperms were nearly eliminated from the tropics after the evolution of angiosperms in the early Cretaceous, yet conifers of the Podocarpaceae are among

Distinct root-associated fungal communities may account for the persistence of Podocarpus conifers in tropical forest. [PDF]

Ecology
Abstract Podocarps (Podocarpaceae) are one of the few lineages of conifers found in closed canopy tropical forests. They typically have highly restricted distributions that are associated with nutrient‐poor sites. Unlike other tree species, the presence of distinct nodule‐like structures allows their roots to be easily distinguished from those of co ...

Leaf Size in Conifers: Global Associations With Climate and Evolutionary History. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Global patterns in leaf size are linked to climatic trade‐offs, so we explore these relationships in a major group of plants, the conifers. Using contemporary phylogenetic methods, we show that conifers display a strong pattern of evolutionary conservatism in the association of leaf size with climate, and highlight that these relationships are driven ...

Seed-cone architecture of Pararaucaria utahensis Gee, Howell et Dayvault sp. nov. (Cheirolepidiaceae) from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of Utah, USA. [PDF]

Am J Bot
Abstract Premise Although Pararaucaria seed cones were first described 90 years ago, only in the last dozen years have we discovered the greater extent of the species diversity and paleogeographic range of the genus. Pararaucaria is now known across the mid‐latitudes of the Lower Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous in the northern and southern hemispheres ...

Podocarpaceae [PDF]

, 1984
Monoecious or dioecious trees and shrubs, some prostrate (and one parasitic on another member of the family, Parasitaxus, in New Caledonia). Each cotyledon, of which there are usually two but in a few cases more, a fused pair with a corresponding bifid tip.
