A preliminary assessment of plant–biotic interactions in the Eocene of South China: Evidence from Liquidambar L. (Saxifragales: Altingiaceae)

open access: closedPalaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2017
Abstract The study of fossil plant–biotic (mainly arthropod) interactions offers an opportunity to understand the evolutionary process in palaeoecosystems and their response to climate fluctuation. Despite the importance of such investigations, not much is known about plant–arthropod associations from the Cenozoic floras of Asia.

Further Resolution of the Rapid Radiation of Saxifragales (Angiosperms, Eudicots) Supported by Mixed-Model Bayesian Analysis

open access: closedSystematic Botany, 2004
Recent phylogenetic analyses of Saxifragales, based on DNA sequences of five plastid and nuclear ribosomal genes under parsimony and likelihood criteria, failed to resolve the branching order of the major lineages of the clade. This lack of resolution was attributed to the rapid radiation of Saxifragales.

From Fossils to Molecules: Phylogeny and the Core Eudicot Floral Groundplan in Hamamelidoideae (Hamamelidaceae, Saxifragales)

open access: closedSystematic Botany, 2007
Most floral diversity in the core eudicots is based on a groundplan that includes among its most distinctive elements a bipartite perianth and pentamerous merosity combined with a bicarpellate gynoecium. To obtain insights into the origins of this groundplan, the evolution of its structural components in Hamamelidoideae (Hamamelidaceae, Saxifragales ...

The impact of extinct taxa on understanding the early evolution of Angiosperm clades: an example incorporating fossil reproductive structures of Saxifragales

open access: closedPlant Systematics and Evolution, 2006
A cladistic analysis was performed including five Cretaceous and 31 extant taxa within Saxifragales using a combination of molecular sequence and morphological data in order to elucidate the utility of extinct taxa in illuminating saxifragalean evolution.
