Eukaryotes have evolved to dominate the biosphere today, accounting for most documented
living species and the vast majority of the Earth's biomass. Consequently, understanding …

Exceptionally preserved organic-walled microfossils of the Svanbergfjellet Formation,
Svalbard document the diversity of eukaryotes in a Tonian (1,000–720 million years ago) …

Cyanobacteria have a long evolutionary history, well documented in marine rocks. They are
also abundant and diverse in terrestrial environments; however, although phylogenies …

Abstract The Rhynie Chert (Lower Devonian, Scotland) hosts a remarkably well‐preserved
early terrestrial ecosystem. Organisms including plants, fungi, arthropods, and bacteria were …

The brain is thought to be among the first human organs to decompose after death. The
discovery of brains preserved in the archaeological record is therefore regarded as unusual …

The colonization of the terrestrial surface by land plants involved the evolution of a complex
ecosystem of plants, animals, fungi, algae and bacteria, within a mineral framework. The …

Abstract Background Engelhardia (Juglandaceae) is a genus of significant ecological and
economic importance, prevalent in the tropics and subtropics of East Asia. Although …

Common members of Proterozoic macrofossil assemblages usually include discs and tubes.
Particularly, discoidal forms (eg, Chuaria and abundant unnamed discs) and tubular forms …

Molecular phylogenetic studies of land plant (embryophyte) origins have begun to tease
apart those evolutionary contributions derived from prior algal genes and those de novo …

The combination of Raman imaging and multivariate curve resolution (MCR) or classical
least squares (CLS) has allowed us to explore the distribution and identification of …
