Early evolutionary history of the seed
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

Spatial metrics in fire ecology: seeking consistency amidst complexity
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Technological advances, including remote sensing, have led to a proliferation of metrics used in ecological studies to examine spatial patterns of fire regimes and their ecological effects. Researchers can use many different metrics to analyse spatial variation in both fire events and resulting fire regimes, including fire size, shape ...

Charcoal evidence that rising atmospheric oxygen terminated Early Jurassic ocean anoxia
Nature Communications, 2017 Numerical models predict that during an oceanic anoxic event (OAE), increased organic carbon burial drives a rise in atmospheric oxygen leading to the event’s termination. Here, the authors present evidence suggesting that the Toarcian OAE was terminated
