Recent Synchronous Radiation of a Living Fossil
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
It is shown that cycads underwent a near synchronous global rediversification beginning in the late Miocene, followed by a slowdown toward the Recent, rejecting the hypothesized role of dinosaurs in generating extant diversity and the designation of today’s cycad species as living fossils.
