  • The Jurassic Fossil Wood Diversity from Western Liaoning, NE China
    Jiang et al. Journal of Palaeogeography (2019) 8:1 https://doi.org/10.1186/s42501-018-0018-y Journal of Palaeogeography RESEARCH Open Access The Jurassic fossil wood diversity from western Liaoning, NE China Zi-Kun Jiang1,2, Yong-Dong Wang2,3*, Ning Tian4,5, Ao-Wei Xie2,6, Wu Zhang7, Li-Qin Li2 and Min Huang1 Abstract Western Liaoning is a unique region in China that bears diverse types of Jurassic plants, including leaves, fern rhizomes, and wood, providing significant proxy for vegetation and palaeoenvironment reconstruction of the well-known Yanliao Flora in East Asia. In particular, the silicified wood is very abundant in the fossil Lagerstätte of the Jurassic Tiaojishan Formation in Beipiao, western Liaoning. Previous and recent systematic investigations documented a high diversity of the Jurassic wood assemblages. These assemblages are dominated by conifers, followed by cycads and ginkgoaleans. In total, about 30 species belonging to 21 genera of fossil wood have been recorded so far, which are represented by Cycadopsida, Ginkgopsida, Coniferopsida, and Gymnospermae incertae sedis. The evolutionary implications of several distinctive fossil wood taxa as well as palaeoclimate implications are summarized based on their anatomical structures and growth ring patterns. This work approaches the vegetation development and evolutionary significances of the wood taxa and their relatives, and provides clues for the further understanding of the diversity of the Jurassic Yanliao Flora in East Asia. Keywords: Fossil wood, Diversity, Evolution, Tiaojishan Formation, Jurassic 1 Introduction 2004;Wangetal.,2009). Among these localities, western Fossil floras are a significant record for the vegetation Liaoning is a well-known fossil Lagerstätte with diverse and for the palaeoenvironment reconstructions of the and well-preserved fossil plant foliages and wood (Zhang Mesozoic.

  • The Evolutionary History of Flowering Plants
    Journal & Proceedings of the Royal Society of New South Wales, vol. 149, parts 1 & 2, 2016, pp. 65–82. ISSN 0035-9173/16/010065–18 The evolutionary history of flowering plants Charles S.P. Foster1 1 School of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Sydney, New South Wales 2006, Australia This paper was an RSNSW Scholarship Winner in 2015 Email: [email protected] Abstract In terms of species richness and important ecological roles, there are few biological groups that rival the success of flowering plants (Angiospermae). Angiosperm evolution has long been a topic of interest, with many attempts to clarify their phylogenetic relationships and timescale of evolution. However, despite this attention there remain many unsolved questions surrounding how and when flowers first appeared, and much of the angiosperm diversity remains to be quantified. Here, I review the evolutionary history of angiosperms, and how our understanding of this has changed over time. I begin by summarising the incredible morphological and genetic diversity of flowering plants, and the ways in which this can be studied using phylogenetic inference. I continue by discussing both the relationships between angiosperms and the other major lineages of seed plants, and the relationships between the main groups within angiosperms. In both cases, I outline how our knowledge has changed over time based on factors such as the different conclusions drawn from morphological and genetic data. I then discuss attempts to estimate the timescale of angiosperm evolution and the difficulties of doing so, including the apparent conflict between ages derived from fossil and molecular evidence. Finally, I propose future directions for angiosperm research to help clarify the evolutionary history of one of the most important groups of organisms on the planet.

Abstract Background: The origin of angiosperms has been under debate since the time of Darwin. While there has been much speculation in past decades about pre-Cretaceous angiosperms, including Archaefructus, these reports are controversial. The earliest reliable fossil record of angiosperms remains restricted to the Cretaceous, even though recent molecular phylogenetic studies suggest an origin for angiosperms much earlier than the current fossil record. Results: In this paper, after careful SEM and light microscopic work, we report fossils with angiospermous traits of the Jurassic age.

Downloaded from www.annualreviews.org molecular trees that the first angiosperms were woody plants with pinnately veined leaves, multiparted flowers, uniovulate ascidiate carpels, and columel- lar monosulcate pollen. Molecular data appear to refute the hypothesis based on morphology that angiosperms and Gnetales are closest living relatives. Morphological analyses of living and fossil seed plants that assume molec- ular relationships identify glossopterids, Bennettitales, and Caytonia as an- giosperm relatives; these results are consistent with proposed homologies be- tween the cupule of glossopterids and Caytonia and the angiosperm bitegmic ovule. Jurassic molecular dates for the angiosperms may be reconciled with the fossil record if the first angiosperms were restricted to wet forest under- story habitats and did not radiate until the Cretaceous.

A late Middle–early Late Jurassic fossil plant assemblage recently excavated from two Callovian– Oxfordian sites in the vicinity of the Daohugou fossil locality in eastern Inner Mongolia, China, was analysed in detail. The Daohugou fossil assemblage is part of the Callovian–Kimmeridgian Yanliao Biota of north-eastern China. Most major plant groups thriving at that time could be recognized. These include ferns, caytonialeans, bennettites, ginkgophytes, czekanowskialeans and conifers. All fossils were identified and compared with spe- cies from adjacent coeval floras. Considering additional material from three collections housed at major pal- aeontological institutions in Beijing, Nanjing and Pingyi, and a recent account in a comprehensive book on the Daohugou Biota, the diversity of the assemblage is completed by algae, mosses, lycophytes, sphenophytes and putative cycads. The assemblage is dominated by tall-growing gymnosperms such as ginkgophytes, cze- kanowskialeans and bennettites, while seed ferns, ferns and other water- or moisture-bound groups such as algae, mosses, sphenophytes and lycophytes are represented by only very few fragmentary remains.

Based on distinctive mor- phologies and damage patterns of elongate, ovoid, lens-, or teardrop-shaped scars in the leaves, we assign this insect damage to the ichnogenus Paleoovoidus, consisting of an existing ichnospecies, P. rectus, and two new ichnospecies, P. arcuatum and P. bifurcatus.InP. rectus, the scars are characteristically arranged in linear rows along the midvein; in P. bifurcatus, scars are distributed in double rows along the midvein and parallel to secondary veins; and in P.

  • Flora of the Late Triassic
    Chapter 13 Flora of the Late Triassic Evelyn Kustatscher, Sidney R. Ash, Eugeny Karasev, Christian Pott, Vivi Vajda, Jianxin Yu, and Stephen McLoughlin Abstract The Triassic was a time of diversification of the global floras following the mass-extinction event at the close of the Permian, with floras of low-diversity and somewhat uniform aspect in the Early Triassic developing into complex vegetation by the Late Triassic. The Earth experienced generally hothouse conditions with low equator-to-pole temperature gradients through the Late Triassic. This was also the time of peak amalgamation of the continents to form Pangea. Consequently, many plant families and genera were widely distributed in the Late Triassic. Nevertheless, E.
