These are explored using data from morphological, anatomical, ultrastructural, and developmental characters. Evaluations of ontogeny, reproductive biology, and organismal interactions are emphasized in interpreting development of the modern flora within the context of evolutionary ecology.

Evolution of plants The oldest land plants (1) The oldest land plants (2) Cooksonia (1) ... Eight fossils The oldest land plants (2) Spiny plants During the Early Devonian (405 - 385 million years ago) several other groups of plants developed. They had the common feature of being rather small (not higher than half a meter) and simply structured. Thus the plant Sawdonia ornata had no leaves, but it did have spines. The function of the spines was probably to enlarge the surface for the assimilation of carbon dioxide from the air. They were not needed for defense for the first vertebrate land animals (the amphibians) did not appear before the Middle Devonian. Possibly the plants formed thick shrubberies using the spines as a hold. Another spiny plant from the Early Devonian is Drepanophycus spinaeformis . This one had a thicker stem with firm spiny leaves. The stems are often found without the spines. In this case the scars will be visible. The compressed fossils of Devonian plants scarcely give any information. Determining these very old plants is extremely difficult as hardly anything shows on the fossils. Only stems, bifurcations and possibly spines. With luck you find sporangia. In that case it might be possible to detect the name of the plant. Sometimes the cuticle has stayed intact. After chemical treatment it is possible to make a microscope preparation of it in which e.g. cells and stomata are visible.

66. CAP: Canadian Association Of Palynologists Covers all branches of palynology from the Paleozoic through the Quaternary. http://www.scirpus.ca/cap/cap.shtml

The Canadian Association of Palynologists was founded in 1978 and, at a recent count (April 19 2009), consists of 57 members in good standing. The Association is run by a small executive CAP members include palynologists from Universities, Industry and Government Agencies. CAP membership is drawn from the worldwide palynological community. The Association focusses on palynology from all geologic eras, spanning the Palaeozoic to the Quaternary. Palynologists from all branches of the discipline, from stratigraphic palynology, to palaeoecology, to melissopalynology, participate in the Association. We welcome new members CAP communicates primarily through a newsletter that is produced twice a year (May and November). This web presentation is designed as a supplement and extension of the CAP Newsletter . The CAP web presentation is intended as an information resource for CAP members and anyone else interested in Canadian palynology. Joint Annual Meeting: AASP - CAP - CPC (GAC Palaeontology Division) September 29 - October 2 2010, Harbourview Holiday Inn, Halifax, Nova Scotia.

73. Fossil And Surface Pollen Data - WDC For Paleoclimatology A searchable collection of pollen data from around the world http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/pollen.html

Use the Tilia Dictionary Generator to create a Tilia Dictionary for your region of interest based on the pollen-types in the Global Pollen Database. Pollen grains which are washed or blown into lakes can accumulate in sediments and provide a record of past vegetation. Different types of pollen in lake sediments reflect the vegetation that was present around the lake, and therefore the climate conditions favorable for that vegetation. The NOAA Paleoclimatology Program distributes the product of various collaborative efforts to collect and organize pollen records from around the globe. These data include the pollen counts and related information, as well as several different derived data sets. Data archived here were last updated in February 2005. Data contributed since March 2005 are available from the Neotoma Paleoecology Database Contributing Data Obtaining Data at the WDC Please Cite Data Contributors!

Tom, Edie and Michael History of the Paleobotanical Section of BSA "The Paleobotanical Section of Botanical Society of America is the oldest organization of Paleobotanists in the world. The founding father of the Section in the years of 1934-1936 was Loren C. Perry, then of Cornell University. Paleobotanical contributions at the Botanical Society of America's meetings had customarily been presented before the General Section. Professor Perry initiated discussions of forming a formal organization of the Paleobotany Section. The idea was enhanced by the visit to the U.S.A. of Dr. H. Hamshaw Thomas during the Pittsburgh meeting of the Botanical Society.
