Molecular phylogeny, historical biogeography, and divergence time estimates for swallowtail butterflies of the genus Papilio (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae)
Download2004
Sperling, F.A.H., Zakharov, E.V., Caterino, M.S.
Swallowtail butterflies are recognized as model organisms in ecology, evolutionary biology, genetics, and conservation biology but present numerous unresolved phylogenetic problems. We inferred phylogenetic relationships for 51 of about 205 species of the genus Papilio (sensu lato) from...

Osmunda vancouverensis sp. nov. (Osmundaceae), permineralized fertile frond segments from the Lower Cretaceous of British Columbia, Canada.
Download2006
Vavrek, M.J., Stockey, R.A., Rothwell, G.W.
The Lower Cretaceous (Valanginian to Hauterivian) Apple Bay locality onVancouver Island, British Columbia, has yielded several fragments of fertile permineralized osmundaceous pinnae. Specimens are preserved in calcareous concretions, showing both internal anatomy and allowing for the...

Phylogenetic diversification of Equisetum (Equisetales) as inferred from Lower Cretaceous species of British Columbia
Download2009
Stockey, Ruth A., Stanich, Nicholas A., Rothwell, Gar W.
Three types of anatomically preserved vegetative shoots with features that characterize crown group Equisetum have been discovered in Lower Cretaceous deposits ( ≈ 136 Ma) of British Columbia, Canada, suggesting the genus is much older than currently believed. Specimens include two types of...

Reconstructing Emporia Lockardii (Voltziales:Emporiaceae) and Initial Thoughts on Paleozoic Conifer Ecology
Download2009
Stockey, R.A., Rothwell, G.W., Hernandez-Castillo, G.R., Mapes, G.
A new plant concept for the extinct conifer species Emporia lockardii (Mapes&Rothwell) Mapes&Rothwell (Emporiaceae) is developed from fossils collected at the Late Pennsylvanian Hamilton Quarry, Kansas. Emporia lockardii has lateral plagiotropic branches with simple and forked leaves, simple...

Stockey, R.A., Rothwell, G.W., Lantz, T.C.
An apparently exindusiate filicalean fern with radial sori, sporangia with a vertical annulus, and monolete spores occurs in Paleocene sediments ca. 57 million years old of central Alberta, Canada. Specimens are preserved as coalified compressions and show features of frond morphology and...

Stramineopteris aureopilosus gen. et sp. nov.: Reevaluating the Role of Vegetative Anatomy in the Resolution of Leptosporangiate Fern Phylogeny.
Download2006
Little, S. A., Stockey, R. A., Rothwell, G. W.
The discovery of two anatomically preserved rhizomes with attached stipe bases and adventitious roots contributes to our knowledge of filicalean fern diversity and evolution. Specimens are preserved in marine carbonate nodules at the Lower Cretaceous (Valanginian to Hauterivian) Apple Bay...

Hernandez-Castillo, G.R., Stockey, R.A., Beard, G.
Two permineralized conifer pollen cones have been identified from the AppianWay locality on the east coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. These cones, found in marine calcareous nodules with invertebrates, are Eocene in age and have been studied with the cellulose acetate peel technique....

Bunya pine (Araucaria bidwillii Hooker) produces large seeds that consist of a massive megagametophyte that surrounds an embryo 25-30 mm long and 3-5 mm in diameter. The seeds germinate on the soil surface, but elongation of the cotyledonary tube pushes the hypocotyl, with its associated plumule...
