BookDOI
Plants invade the land : evolutionary and environmental perspectives
TL;DR: The authors present a synthesis of our present state of knowledge, integrating current information in paleobotany with physical, chemical, and geological data, from an evolutionary and an environmental perspective.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Earliest Land Plants
TL;DR: The considerable information about the possible source of cryptospores and trilete spores especially from the well-preserved mesofossils of the Late Silurian and Early Devonian is summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Gametophyte Generation of Some Early Devonian Land Plants
TL;DR: Their construction indicates some degree of morphological similarity between haploid and diploid thalli in the life cycles of these entities, thus supporting to some extent an alternation of isomorphic generations and the homologous theory of sporophyte origin for land plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Character diversification and patterns of evolution in early vascular plants
TL;DR: Available data on the stratigraphic ranges of latest Silurian and Devonian vascular plant macro-fossils (sporophytes) and spores provide insights into the tempo and mode of early tracheophyte evolution, and can be used to document mosaic evolution in early vascular plant history.
