Abstract The Miocene epoch (23.03–5.33 Ma) was a time interval of global warmth, relative
to today. Continental configurations and mountain topography transitioned toward modern …

Earth's hydrological cycle is expected to intensify in response to global warming, with a “wet‐
gets‐wetter, dry‐gets‐drier” response anticipated over the ocean. Subtropical regions (∼ …

Early Eocene climates were globally warm, with ice-free conditions at both poles. Early
Eocene polar landmasses supported extensive forest ecosystems of a primarily temperate …

During the early to middle Eocene, a mid‐to‐high latitudinal position and enhanced
hydrological cycle in Australia would have contributed to a wetter and “greener” Australian …

ABSTRACT A colonisation history for 411 extant genera and 477 lineages of the vascular
flora of New Zealand was constructed using the plastid rbcL gene. Molecular clock crown …

Abstract In New Zealand, 13 flightless species of endemic grasshopper are associated with
alpine habitats and freeze tolerance. We examined the phylogenetic relationships of the …

Rising atmospheric CO 2 is expected to increase global temperatures, plant water-use
efficiency, and carbon storage in the terrestrial biosphere. A CO 2 fertilization effect on …

Although significant angiosperm diversification occurred during the Cretaceous, the timing of
subsequent expansion of flowering plants across austral landscapes is poorly understood …

Abstract The Ravenscrag Butte flora in southwestern Saskatchewan, Canada, provides a
record of an early Paleocene (Danian) forest ecosystem that followed the K-Pg boundary …

Diversification of woody plant lineages in New Zealand has unfolded in complex
physiographic, climatic, and environmental contexts. Many tree and shrub lineages have …
