The timing of the origin of angiosperms is a hotly debated topic in plant evolution. Molecular
dating analyses that consistently retrieve pre‐Cretaceous ages for crown‐group …

Angiosperms and their flowers have greatly diversified into an overwhelming array of forms
in the past 135 million years. Diversification was shaped by changes in climate and the …

Recent advances in molecular phylogenetics and a series of important palaeobotanical
discoveries have revolutionized our understanding of angiosperm diversification. Yet, the …

A revised and updated classification for the families of flowering plants is provided. Many
recent studies have yielded increasingly detailed evidence for the positions of formerly …

Angiosperms are the most successful plants and support human livelihood and ecosystems.
Angiosperm phylogeny is the foundation of studies of gene function and phenotypic …

The reconstruction of ancestral scenarios is widely used to study the evolution of characters
along phylogenetic trees. One commonly uses the marginal posterior probabilities of the …

A formal classification of the land plants that is compatible with the APG III classification is
proposed. Previous classifications inflated taxonomic ranks, particularly of the angiosperms …

The pantropical flowering plant family Annonaceae is the most species-rich family of
Magnoliales. Despite long-standing interest in the systematics of Annonaceae, no …

We present reference-quality genome assembly and annotation for the stout camphor tree
(Cinnamomum kanehirae (Laurales, Lauraceae)), the first sequenced member of the …

Ecology letters (2010) 13: 175–183 Abstract Angiosperm evolution transformed global
ecology, and much of this impact derives from the unrivalled vegetative productivity of …
