The Angiosperm Terrestrial Revolution and the origins of modern biodiversity
Biodiversity today has the unusual property that 85% of plant and animal species live on
land rather than in the sea, and half of these live in tropical rainforests. An explosive boost to …

Origin of angiosperms and the puzzle of the Jurassic gap
Angiosperms are by far the most species-rich clade of land plants, but their origin and early
evolutionary history remain poorly understood. We reconstructed angiosperm phylogeny …

Fossil data support a pre-Cretaceous origin of flowering plants
Flowering plants (angiosperms) are the most diverse of all land plants, becoming abundant
in the Cretaceous and achieving dominance in the Cenozoic. However, the exact timing of …
