  • Exine Morphology and Ultrastructure of Duplicisporites from the Triassic of Italy
    Grana 44: 337–342, 2005 Exine morphology and ultrastructure of Duplicisporites from the Triassic of Italy NATALIA E. ZAVIALOVA and GUIDO ROGHI Zavialova, N. E. & Roghi, G. 2005. Exine morphology and ultrastructure of Duplicisporites from the Triassic of Italy. – Grana 44: 337–342. ISSN 0017-3134. A morphological study of dispersed Circumpolles pollen grains from the Upper Triassic of the Southern Alps has been initiated with the genus Duplicisporites. Individual pollen grains were studied by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Seen with SEM the pollen surface is finely verrucate with low verrucae of different sizes. A sub-equatorial continuous rimula is clearly visible. The proximal trilete scar is small and indistinct. TEM images reveal a bi-layered exine. The ectexine is formed by numerous small, closely packed, granulae subdivided by irregularly-spaced cavities. In the region of the subequatorial canal, the ectexine becomes thinner, about 1/3 of the usual thickness. At places, the ectexine is slightly separated from the underlying endexine. The endexine is prominent and significantly darker than the ectexine. It is homogeneous and of constant thickness. On the basis of its older age, with respect to Classopollis, the present ultrastructural dataset provides information on the possible origin of cheirolepidiaceous-type morphology. Natalia E.

Arthropods, as the most species-rich and morphologically disparate animal phylum, have received substantial attention, particularly with regard to questions such as the timing of habitat shifts (e.g. terrestrialisation), genome evolution (e.g. gene family duplication and functional evolution), origins of novel characters and behaviours (e.g. wings and flight, venom, silk), biogeography, rate of diversification (e.g. Cambrian explosion, insect coevolution with angiosperms, evolution of crab body plans), and the evolution of arthropod microbiomes. We present herein a series of rigorously vetted calibration fossils for arthropod evolutionary history, taking into account recently published guidelines for best practice in fossil calibration.

  • The Seed Cone Eathiestrobus Gen. Nov.: Fossil Evidence for a Jurassic
    American Journal of Botany 99(4): 708–720. 2012. T HE SEED CONE E ATHIESTROBUS GEN. NOV.: 1 F OSSIL EVIDENCE FOR A JURASSIC ORIGIN OF PINACEAE G AR W .

However, the fossil record for the nonpinoid lineage of extant conifer families is Triassic, nearly 100 million years older than the oldest widely accepted Lower Cretaceous record for Pinaceae. An anatomically preserved fossil conifer seed cone described here extends the strati- graphic range of Pinaceae nearly 30 million years, thus reducing the apparent discrepancy between evidence from the fossil record and inferences from systematic studies of living species. • Methods: Material was prepared as serial thin sections by the cellulose acetate peel technique, mounted on microscope slides, and viewed and photographed using transmitted light. • Key results: A large cylindrical cone consisting of bract-scale complexes that diverge from the cone axis in a helical phyllotaxis has bracts and scales that separate from each other in the midregion and are of equal length and of nearly equal width.
