Late Paleocene fossils from the Cerrejón Formation, Colombia, are the earliest record of Neotropical rainforest
Neotropical rainforests have a very poor fossil record, making hypotheses concerning their
origins difficult to evaluate. Nevertheless, some of their most important characteristics can be …

Global history of the ancient monocot family Araceae inferred with models accounting for past continental positions and previous ranges based on fossils
L Nauheimer, D Metzler, SS Renner - New Phytologist, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
The family Araceae (3790 species, 117 genera) has one of the oldest fossil records among
angiosperms. Ecologically, members of this family range from free‐floating aquatics (Pistia …

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 …
