Establishing a time‐scale for plant evolution
Plants have utterly transformed the planet, but testing hypotheses of causality requires a
reliable time‐scale for plant evolution. While clock methods have been extensively …

The timescale of early land plant evolution
Establishing the timescale of early land plant evolution is essential for testing hypotheses on

How deep is the conflict between molecular and fossil evidence on the age of angiosperms?
The timing of the origin of angiosperms is a hotly debated topic in plant evolution. Molecular

Accounting for uncertainty in the evolutionary timescale of green plants through clock-partitioning and fossil calibration strategies
Establishing an accurate evolutionary timescale for green plants (Viridiplantae) is essential
to understanding their interaction and coevolution with the Earth's climate and the many …

Cenozoic extinctions account for the low diversity of extant gymnosperms compared with angiosperms
MD Crisp, LG Cook - New Phytologist, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
We test the widely held notion that living gymnosperms are 'ancient'and 'living fossils' by
comparing them with their sister group, the angiosperms. This perception derives partly from …
