Early angiosperms represent a pivotal chapter in plant evolution, marked by rapid diversification and profound ecological impact during the Early Cretaceous. These flowering plants, distinguished by ...

According to a research team led by palaeontologists, the net-like leaf veining typical for today's flowering plants developed much earlier than previously thought, but died out again several times.

Beta-diversity serves as a crucial metric for gauging shifts in species composition over spatial or temporal scales, bridging the spectrum between localized (alpha) and broader regional (gamma) ...

Angiosperms, representing nearly 90% of all plant species, dominate terrestrial ecosystems thanks in part to their sophisticated chemical communication systems. Among the most important of these ...
