Green Web or megabiased clock? Plant fossils from Gondwanan Patagonia speak on evolutionary radiations
Evolutionary divergence‐age estimates derived from molecular 'clocks' are frequently
correlated with paleogeographic, paleoclimatic and extinction events. One prominent …

Cenozoic seeds of Vitaceae reveal a deep history of extinction and dispersal in the Neotropics
The remarkably diverse plant communities of the Neotropics are the result of diversification
driven by multiple biotic (for example, speciation, extinction and dispersal) and abiotic (for …

Persistent biotic interactions of a Gondwanan conifer from Cretaceous Patagonia to modern Malesia
Many plant genera in the tropical West Pacific are survivors from the paleo-rainforests of
Gondwana. For example, the oldest fossils of the Malesian and Australasian conifer Agathis …
