Paleobotany: The Biology and Evolution of Fossil Plants. It was also where many modern plant lineages that attract predatory insects made their earliest appearances, placing the Republic flora among the oldest in which modern plant-insect associations can be traced in the fossil record.

Edith Taylor's Work Takes Her on Six-week, Bone-chilling Treks Through Antarctica, Where She Hunts Fossil Plants That Thrived on the Continent from 240 Million to 260 Million Years Ago. Paleobotany, Second Edition: The Biology and Evolution of Fossil Plants. Lawrence, KS - infoZine- "At that time there were forests growing in Antarctica," said Taylor, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology and senior curator of paleobotany at the University of Kansas. Eight years ago, when paleobotanists Edith and Tom Taylor and their team were last in the central Transantarctic Mountains searching for fossils, foul weather and mechanical difficulties with the helicopters kept them more often than not in the camp. Paleobotanists use these fossils to help build a picture of prehistoric environments, the feeding resources of extinct animals and the evolutionary pasts of modern plants. One recent fall, Labandeira and Kirk Johnson, curator of paleontology at the Denver Museum of Natural History, headed out to Republic, joined by Wesley Wehr, affiliate curator of paleobotany at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture in Seattle. This book provides up-to-date coverage of fossil plants from Precambrian life to flowering plants, including fungi and algae. It's an area where the Taylors have enjoyed considerable success in their decades-long work to understand the evolution of the flora that once dominated Antarctica more than 200 million years ago. Sir Crane, with a background in paleobotany (the study of plant fossils) has researched for years the history of some of the oldest Ginkgos.
