Mountain ecosystems support a significant one‐third of all terrestrial biodiversity, but our
understanding of the spatiotemporal maintenance of this high biodiversity remains poor, or …

Abstract The Eastern Himalayas are renowned for their high plant diversity. To understand
how this modern botanical richness formed, it is critical to investigate past plant biodiversity …

Here, we report the in-situ occurrence of a new fossil-species of Meliolinites (fossil
Meliolaceae), Meliolinites bhutanensis sp. nov. on the cuticle fragments of a compressed …

Fossil leaf floras, from the latest Miocene-Pliocene Siwalik Group exposed in Bhutan, sub-
Himalaya, are subjected to a CLAMP (Climate Leaf Analysis Multivariate Program) analysis …

Molecular phylogeneticists often find that a diversification of western Chinese plant taxa took
place in the Miocene and link this to the Neogene uplift of the Tibetan Plateau. This link is …

Fossils from tropical Asia, which are far from fully investigated, are important for
understanding the evolution of plant diversity and the associated surrounding environment …

Mastixioids in the family Cornaceae, are presently native only in limited areas of Asia, they
have rich fossil fruit record in Cenozoic sediments of Europe and North America, but …

This study presents six new species of Asterina (Asterinaceae), A. indodeightonii, A.
mioconsobrina, A. miosphaerelloides, A. neocombreticola, A. neoelaeocarpi and A …

The Siwalik plant fossils are important in understanding the climate change caused by the
uplift of the Himalaya. The plant fossil assemblages are abundantly known from Nepal's …

The plant fossil records from the Siwalik Group of Arunachal Pradesh, India are far from
satisfactory due to remoteness and dense vegetation of the area. We report seven fossil …
