Palaeoproxies: botanical monitors and recorders of atmospheric change (2015)
Journal Article

The integration of plant and Earth sciences offers the opportunity to develop and test palaeobotanical monitors and recorders (palaeoproxies) of past atmospheric change that are understood from a mechanistic perspective, with the underpinning respons...

The impact of oxidation on spore and pollen chemistry (2015)
Journal Article
Jardine, P. E., Fraser, W. T., Lomax, B. H., & Gosling, W. D. (in press). The impact of oxidation on spore and pollen chemistry. Journal of Micropalaeontology, 34(2), https://doi.org/10.1144/jmpaleo2014-022

Sporomorphs (pollen and spores) have an outer wall composed of sporopollenin. Sporopollenin chemistry contains both a signature of ambient ultraviolet-B flux and taxonomic information, but it is currently unknown how sensitive this is to standard pal...

Leaf energy balance modelling as a tool to infer habitat preference in the early angiosperms (2015)
Journal Article
Lee, A. P., Upchurch, G., Murchie, E. H., & Lomax, B. H. (2015). Leaf energy balance modelling as a tool to infer habitat preference in the early angiosperms. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 282(1803), https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2014.3052

Despite more than a century of research, some key aspects of habitat preference and ecology of the earliest angiosperms remain poorly constrained. Proposed growth ecology has varied from opportunistic weedy species growing in full sun to slow-growing...
