Like all of Life, including ourselves, they have had their own history and gone through many evolutionary stages before they arrived at their current forms. The origin of Angiospermae ( owering plants) has been the subject of much dispute because this is a key event in the history of life, and has a far-reaching in uence on our understanding of relationships among seed plants as a whole as well as within the angiosperms. Until recently most of palae- otanists recognized angiosperms only from the Cretaceous and younger strata. This contradicts the results of molecular analyses. I have been working on Mesozoic fossil plants for the past two decades, during which time I have studied a number of fossil plants. Some of these fossil plants have been published as Jurassic angiosperms, and, unsurprisingly, many questions and doubts have been raised about them. These questions need to be addressed se- ously and journal papers do not provide suf cient space to compare and relate these early angiosperms. In this book these pioneer angiosperms are documented in detail, s | 出版日期 | Book 20101st edition | 关键词 | Angiosperms; Flowers; Jura; Jurassic; Origin | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-01161-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-642-01161-0Series ISSN 0930-0317 Series E-ISSN 1613-2580 | issn_series | 0930-0317 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2010 |
