Fluvial landscapes diversified markedly over the 250 million years between the Cambrian
and Pennsylvanian periods. The diversification occurred in tandem with the evolution of …

The Carboniferous, the time of Earth's penultimate icehouse and widespread coal formation,
was dominated by extinct lineages of early‐diverging vascular plants. Studies of nearest …

Premise of research. The Late Paleozoic Ice Age was the last extensive pre-Pleistocene ice
age. It includes many climate changes of different intensities, permitting examination of …

We evaluate the influences of elevation and climate on the spatio-temporal distribution of
wetland and dryland biomes during the Pennsylvanian and early Permian in tropical …

Wetland floras narrowly define perceptions of Pennsylvanian tropical ecosystems, the so-
called Coal Age. Such wetlands reflect humid to perhumid climate, leading to …

Abstract The Late Mississippian and Pennsylvanian have been referred to as the Coal Age
due to enormous paleotropical peat accumulations (coal beds). Numerous fossil floras have …

River ecological functioning can be conceptualized according to a four‐dimensional
framework, based on the responses of aquatic and riparian communities to …

This study presents the first reconstruction of mantodean phylogeny using a large
morphological dataset of the entire group. The matrix encompasses 152 morphological …

As vegetation evolved during the Palaeozoic Era, terrestrial landscapes were substantially
transformed, especially during the∼ 120 million year interval from the Devonian through the …

The establishment of terrestrial plants during the Palaeozoic era was one of the most
significant changes to the Earth system during the Phanerozoic eon. The continuing …
