A new time tree reveals Earth history's imprint on the evolution of modern birds
S Claramunt, J Cracraft - Science advances, 2015 - science.org
Determining the timing of diversification of modern birds has been difficult. We combined
DNA sequences of clock-like genes for most avian families with 130 fossil birds to generate …

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 …

Splendid and seldom isolated: the paleobiogeography of Patagonia
The idea that South America was an island continent over most of the Cenozoic, during
which its unusual mammalian faunas evolved in isolation, is outstandingly influential in …

The early diversification history of didelphid marsupials: a window into South America's “Splendid Isolation”
The geological record of South American mammals is spatially biased because productive
fossil sites are concentrated at high latitudes. As a result, the history of mammalian …

Depositional controls on mixed carbonate–siliciclastic cycles and sequences on gently inclined shelf profiles
The interplay between carbonate production and siliciclastic input produces mixed systems
that typically contain a very high degree of lateral and vertical facies heterogeneity. This …
