Cretaceous angiosperm flowers: innovation and evolution in plant reproduction
EM Friis, KR Pedersen, PR Crane - Palaeogeography, palaeoclimatology …, 2006 - Elsevier
Information on the fossil record of angiosperms has expanded dramatically over the past
twenty-five years, and in particular the discovery of numerous mesofossil floras with fossil …

Explosive radiation of Malpighiales supports a mid-Cretaceous origin of modern tropical rain forests
Fossil data have been interpreted as indicating that Late Cretaceous tropical forests were
open and dry adapted and that modern closed-canopy rain forest did not originate until after …

The perfect storm: gene tree estimation error, incomplete lineage sorting, and ancient gene flow explain the most recalcitrant ancient angiosperm clade, Malpighiales
The genomic revolution offers renewed hope of resolving rapid radiations in the Tree of Life.
The development of the multispecies coalescent model and improved gene tree estimation …

Are polyploids really evolutionary dead-ends (again)? A critical reappraisal of Mayrose et al. (2011)
Background Throughout the past century, hybridization and polyploidization have variously
been viewed as drivers of biodiversity (eg Arnold, 1997) or evolutionary noise, unimportant …

Genome characteristics of facultatively symbiotic Frankia sp. strains reflect host range and host plant biogeography
Soil bacteria that also form mutualistic symbioses in plants encounter two major levels of
selection. One occurs during adaptation to and survival in soil, and the other occurs in …

Recent accelerated diversification in rosids occurred outside the tropics
Conflicting relationships have been found between diversification rate and temperature
across disparate clades of life. Here, we use a supermatrix comprising nearly 20,000 …

The origin and diversification of angiosperms
The angiosperms, one of five groups of extant seed plants, are the largest group of land
plants. Despite their relatively recent origin, this clade is extremely diverse morphologically …

A Mueller, M Kuhlmann - Biological Journal of the Linnean …, 2008 - academic.oup.com
To assess the pollen hosts of 60 western palaearctic bee species of the genus Colletes
(Colletidae), we microscopically analysed 1336 pollen loads of collected females. Twenty …

Plant–soil interactions maintain biodiversity and functions of tropical forest ecosystems
Tropical forests are characterized by high biodiversity and aboveground biomass growing
on strongly weathered soils. However, the distribution of plant species and soils are highly …
