FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Comparative analysis of chloroplast genomes from 14 genera of Thymelaeaceae revealed variation in gene content, ranging from 128 to 142 genes, primarily influenced by IR expansion/contraction events and pseudogenization of ndhF, ndhI, and ndhG. Two large inversions were detected within the large single‐copy region, including a synapomorphic inversion ...

The biology and taxonomy of Mesozoic stromatoporoids [PDF]
, 1987 The presence of spicule pseudomorphs and an aquiferous filtration system in Mesozoic stromatoporoids confirms poriferan affinity for this previously problematic group. The form, and postulated original siliceous nature of most of the spicules, indicates that the possessors of these were calcified demosponges; others with originally calcareous spicules ...
