DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.70019
Abstract: PREMISE Leaf mass per area (LMA) links leaf economic strategies, community assembly, and climate and can be reconstructed from woody non-monocot angiosperm (WNMA) fossils using the petiole metric (PM; petiole width2/leaf area). Reliable interpretation of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/bies.201600120
Abstract: The evolutionary emergence of animals is one of the most significant episodes in the history of life, but its timing remains poorly constrained. Molecular clocks estimate that animals originated and began diversifying over 100 million… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.earscirev.2017.10.001
Abstract: Abstract The Paleoproterozoic (2.5–1.6 Ga) Era is a decisive time in Earth and life history. The paleobiological record (microfossils, stromatolites, biomarkers and isotopes) illustrates the biosphere evolution during a time of transitional oceanic and atmosphere chemistries.… read more here.
