This review is based on a computerised database that I have built up over the past few years
and is intended to provide a catalogue mainly for those palaeopalynologists whose …

One of the most significant climate changes in the history of Earth happened during the late
Palaeozoic, with the melting of the Gondwanan ice sheets and a progressive warming that …

There have been at least ten English-language textbooks of palaeobotany since DH Scott
published the first edition of Studies inFossilBotany in 1900. Most have been written by …

Principles of phylogenetic analysis (cladistics) are introduced with an examination of
relationships among extant genera of Gnetales. The Gnetales can be supported as a …

Cuticular analysis is a valuable method for the identification, classification and correlation of
fossil gymnosperm remains. The history of cuticular analysis is briefly summarized …

Premise of research. The Late Paleozoic Ice Age was the last extensive pre-Pleistocene ice
age. It includes many climate changes of different intensities, permitting examination of …

This paper introduces an integrated system of morphological concepts for gymnosperm
fructifications, which does not lean upon any system existing for other higher plants …

The most recent global “icehouse-hothouse” climate transition in earth history began during
the Permian. Warmer polar conditions, relative to today, then persisted through the Mesozoic …

Wetland forests, known as coal forests, extended over large areas of the palaeotropics
during the Late Carboniferous and the Permian Periods. They were initiated during the …

Phylogenetic relationships of 27 taxa of extant and extinct lignophytes were assessed in a
numerical cladistic analysis using 65 characters. The analysis yielded 12 most parsimonious …
