🌿🪨 #PaleoBotanyWeek Expanded character sampling inspired by a new Cretaceous conifer seed cone from California: importance of morphology in resolving relationships among the Cupressaceae by @kpfeiler.bsky.social et al. 👉 doi.org/q76b @kunhm.bsky.social @ku-eeb.bsky.social #PlantEvolution

An Early Cretaceous conifer cone reveals previously unknown morphological diversity within Cupressaceae. By combining fossil evidence with new analytical approaches, the study shows that extinct lineages had unique trait combinations, helping clarify the evolutionary history of modern conifers.

For International Women's Day, let's pay homage to the great plant anatomist Katherine Esau. In her long career, she transformed our understanding of plant structure through her research and her very important books. She is my academic grandmother, advisor of my advisor.
