The Birth of the Modern WorldOur first publication from the project is now out in Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution.
We focused on one of the three groups we are interested in, the enigmatic Gnetales, and reviewed our knowledge and understanding of this group. We also point to convergence of evidence (consilience) as the path forward to solve some of the issues still surrounding their relationship and macroevolutionary dynamics: only combining evidence from disparate field such as developmental genetics, molecular evolution, paleobotany, and phylogenetics we can arrive to a more accurate answer to our questions.
Here is a link to the article, which is Open Access. Feel free to read and share!
