Fossil pollen records reveal a late rise of open-habitat ecosystems in Patagonia [PDF]
, 2012 The timing of major turnovers in terrestrial ecosystems of the Cenozoic Era has been largely interpreted from the analysis of the assumed feeding preference of extinct mammals. For example, the expansion of open-habitat ecosystems (grasslands or savannas)

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Dacrydium pierrei (Podocarpaceae)
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019 In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of Dacrydium pierrei was reported. The results showed that the whole genome was 131,671 bp in length. The genome contains a total of 118 encoding genes, including 82 protein-coding genes, 32 tRNA genes, and ...
