On impact and volcanism across the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary
The cause of the end-Cretaceous mass extinction is vigorously debated, owing to the
occurrence of a very large bolide impact and flood basalt volcanism near the boundary …

Sensitivity of leaf size and shape to climate: global patterns and paleoclimatic applications
Paleobotanists have long used models based on leaf size and shape to reconstruct
paleoclimate. However, most models incorporate a single variable or use traits that are not …

Leaf morphological traits as adaptations to multiple climate gradients
Leaf morphological traits vary systematically along climatic gradients. However, recent
studies in plant functional ecology have mainly analysed quantitative traits, while numerical …

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 …
