Tectonic-driven climate change and the diversification of angiosperms.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 30 Sept 2014

Chaboureau Anne-Claire, Sepulchre Pierre, Donnadieu Yannick, Franc Alain

Abstract excerpt

In 1879, Charles Darwin characterized the sudden and unexplained rise of angiosperms during the Cretaceous as an "abominable mystery." The diversification of this clade marked the beginning of a rapid transition among Mesozoic ecosystems and floras formerly dominated by ferns, conifers, and cycads. Although the role of environmental factors has been suggested [Coiffard C, Gómez B (2012) Geol Acta 10(2):181-188],...
