Recent re-examinations and new fossil findings have added significantly to the data
available for evaluating the evolutionary history of the monocotyledons. Integrating data from …

Continental‐scale assembly of floras results from past and present in situ diversification in
association with several external processes. Among these processes are the making and …

The family Araceae (3790 species, 117 genera) has one of the oldest fossil records among
angiosperms. Ecologically, members of this family range from free‐floating aquatics (Pistia …

This book, intended for botanists, horticulturists and all those interested in aroids, comprises
10 chapters detailing information about the morphology, botany and origin of aroids, their …

• Premise of the study: The first family‐wide molecular phylogeny of the Araceae, a family of
about 3800 published species in 120 genera, became available in 1995, followed by a …

The fossil record of wetlands documents unique and long-persistent floras and faunas with
wetland habitats spawning or at least preserving novel evolutionary characteristics and, at …

Familial, subfamilial, and tribal monophyly and relationships of aroids and duckweeds were
assessed by parsimony and Bayesian phylogenetic analyses of five regions of coding (rbcL …

A new species (Mayoa portugallica genus novum species novum) of highly characteristic
inaperturate, striate fossil pollen is described from the Early Cretaceous (Barremian–Aptian) …

▪ Abstract Morphological and molecular analyses resolve many aspects of vascular plant
phylogeny, though others remain uncertain. Vascular plants are nested within bryophytes; …

It is widely acknowledged that integrating fossils into data sets of extant taxa is imperative for
proper placement of fossils, resolution of relationships, and a better understanding of …
