41. What Is A Paleobotanist?
    paleobotany is the study of fossil plants found buried in sediments and rocks, and is one of many fields of study within the broad science of botany.  
    http://www.snomnh.ou.edu/collections-research/cr-sub/invertpaleo/common_fossils_
    
    Extractions: Plants, unlike most animals for example, naturally break apart into pieces while they are alive. For example, pollen is released in the Spring (causing one's allergies to act up) and leaves fall in the Autumn. In fact, it is quite normal to find a leaf here, a branch there and a seed somewhere else. When a plant dies, the plant breaks apart into still more pieces. When looking for fossil plants, a leaf is found here and a branch is found over there. It is relatively rare to find a leaf attached to a branch to show that they belong to the same plant. As a result paleobotanists usually give a different name to each part of a plant until they can show that they were part of the same plant (that is, they find the leaf attached to a branch). This method of naming fossil plants is why there are different names for different parts of a single plant.

    Extractions: Our study of clumping pollen shows that insect pollinators most likely have always played a large role in the evolution of flowering plants, said David Dilcher, a graduate research professor of paleobotany at the Florida Museum of Natural History. It was true 96 million years ago and we are seeing it today with the potential threat to our agricultural crops because of the collapse of the honeybee colonies. (Science Daily) Topics covered include genetics and genomics, developmental and cell biology, biochemistry and physiology, morphology and structure, systematics, plant-microbe interactions, paleobotany, evolution, and ecology. IJPS emphasizes dynamic rather than purely descriptive work and welcomes contributions that present evaluations and new perspectives on areas of current interest in plant biology. (EurekAlert!)

    Extractions: Paleobotany Reconstruction of the branching system of Archaeopteris , a Devonian progymnosperm (after Beck). The paleobotanical collections at the University of Michigan contain approximately 15,000 individually catalogued specimens. This estimate is necessarily conservative because an individual specimen may contain more than one leaf, stem, flower, or fruit impression. The collections have strong historical importance due to the strength of paleobotany at the University of Michigan over the past 50 years. The collections include the important specimens of Chester A. Arnold, and Charles B. Beck, all past curators of paleobotany at the University of Michigan as well as their students and colleagues. The collections are strong in Paleozoic vascular plants, especially pteridophytes, progymnosperms, and gymnosperms. These specimens document the rise of seed plants and early increases in complexity of water and nutrient conducting tissues that allowed diversification of the first arborescent (tree-like) growth forms. Early Cretaceous angiosperms, the earliest flowering plants, are also well representedby isolated leaves and dispersed cuticle remains recovered from sediments deposited well before the time when larger portions of these plants are preserved intact. The collections also include important holdings of Cenozoic ferns and angiosperms from the Western United States. Among algal groups, we hold one of the world's largest collections of Paleozoic receptaculitids, and the only such collection for which most specimens have associated data on field orientation (critical for assessing the anatomy and growth mode of this problematic group).

53. Paleobotany Of Australia And New Zealand Conifers

    Extractions: Paleobotany of Australia and New Zealand conifers Source: All text below this point is quoted verbatim. Pole, M. (1993). Keeping in touch: vegetation prehistory on both sides of the Tasman. Australian Systematic Botany At the end of the Cretaceous New Zealand broke away from the Australian-Antarctic continental mass and was physically isolated by the Tasman Sea. Early in the Tertiary New Zealand moved a long way north relative to Australia, but with the rapid northward movement of Australia, starting in the Eocene, Australia overtook New Zealand, so that much of the South Island of New Zealand now lies south of Tasmania. The northward and relative movements of the two blocks provide an interesting framework for comparing the development of their vegetation. In the Late Cretaceous New Zealand and Australia were physically attached and shared a flora dominated by podocarp and araucarian conifers and deciduous angiosperms, consistent with growth in a polar latitude with periods of winter darkness. When New Zealand broke away and moved north, a typically evergreen angiosperm-dominated flora developed. This showed similarities to the extant and fossil flora of the Australian mainland. To the south, Tasmania developed a quite distinct flora often dominated by conifers.

    Extractions: Harris, Peter John Faraday. 2008. An Urgent Signal for the Coming Ice Age Full text [ here Selected excerpts: When paleoclimatologists met in 1972 to discuss how and when the present warm climate would end , termination of this warm climate we call the Holocene seemed imminent and it was expected that rapid cooling would lead to the coming ice age. These ideas were based on the 1M year analogue for climate transitions first proposed by Milankovitch over 60 years ago, which has been demonstrated to show the correlation of glacial and interglacial climate with solar insolation as it is modulated by our changing distance from the sun. These data sets may be used to serve as a signal for the coming ice age. Orbital geometry was approaching similar conditions to those of the previous transitions to ice. But soon it was observed that global temperature was increasing and at about this time Global Climate Modeling (GCM) received more attention and the Milankovitch analogue was forgotten. There has been no further discussion about the coming ice age. …
