We reconstructed the broad backbone of conifer phylogeny from a survey of 15–17 plastid
loci and associated noncoding regions from exemplar conifer species. Parsimony and …

• Premise of the study: Pinaceae and nonpinoid species are sister groups within the conifer
clade as inferred from molecular systematic comparisons of living species and therefore …

Juniperus drupacea is a unique relict species found in the mountains of southern Greece,
southern Turkey, and western Syria and Lebanon. The aim of this study was to describe the …

The Podocarpaceae are a morphologically diverse conifer family that have a cryptic fossil
record reported since the Permian. We reviewed the fossil record of Podocarpaceae, tested …

Lachnine aphids are unusual among phytophagous insects because they feed on both leafy
and woody parts of both angiosperm and conifer hosts. Despite being piercing‐sucking …

Premise of research. Exceptionally well-preserved lignified fossils from the Early Cretaceous
of Mongolia include abundant conifer leafy shoots with attached pollen cones and seed …

Anatomically preserved Jurassic conifer seed cones originally described as Conites juddi
Seward and Bancroft are reinvestigated and assigned to Hughmillerites juddii gen. et comb …

Juniperus drupacea is an eastern Mediterranean mountain tree with a disjunct geographical
range. We hypothesized that this disjunct occurrence (the Peloponnese in Europe and the …

A palynological analysis of 45 samples from six mid-Cretaceous amber-bearing outcrops
from Charentes has been carried out. A total of 227 taxa have been recorded in the studied …

Premise of the Study Pinaceae have a rich but enigmatic early fossil record, much of which
is represented by permineralized seed cones. Our incomplete knowledge of morphology …
