Premise of the Study Conifers are an important living seed plant lineage with an extensive
fossil record spanning more than 300 million years. The group therefore provides an …

Vertebrate‐mediated seed dispersal is a common attribute of many living plants, and
variation in the size and abundance of fleshy diaspores is influenced by regional climate …

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 …

Abstract Background and Aims Seed cone traits are significant for understanding the
evolutionary history of conifers. Podocarpaceae has fleshy cones with a distinct morphology …

Abstract Premise Acmopyle (Podocarpaceae) comprises two extant species from Oceania
that are physiologically restricted to ever‐wet rainforests, a confirmed fossil record based on …

We provide an integrative view of the evolution of dispersal strategies in modern conifers, by
characterizing and examining the phylogenetic distribution of diaspore functional …

Introduction Podocarpaceae are a diverse, primarily tropical conifer family that commonly
produce large leaves and highly reduced, fleshy seed cones bearing large seeds. These …

A new small elongate ovuliferous cone, Friisia lusitanica gen. et sp. nov., assigned to the
Podocarpaceae is described from the Lower Cretaceous (upper Aptian–lower Albian) of …

The flora of the Rajmahal Formation is typically known as 'Rajmahal Flora'. It is Early
Cretaceous (Barremian to Aptian) in age and is one of the most interesting Mesozoic floral …

The occurrence of a diverse range of conifers and bennettitales is characteristic of the
macroflora from the Early Cretaceous of the Rajmahal Basin, India. In the present paper two …
