Floral Developmental Morphology of Amborella trichopoda (Amborellaceae) (2004, methodology): “This transition corresponds to what previous authors and we have observed in Amborella (Endress 1994c, 2001; Endress and Igersheim 2000; Posluszny and Tomlinson 2003).”
Comparative floral structure and systematics in Celastrales (Celastraceae, Parnassiaceae, Lepidobotryaceae) (2005, result): “It is reminiscent of similar columns in Illiciaceae or Nymphaeaceae (e.g. Williams, Sage & Thien, 1993; Endress, 2001).”
Phylogeny and evolutionary patterns in Nymphaeales: integrating genes, genomes and morphology (2008, background): “The number of perianth organs generally increased in the showy flowers of core Nymphaeaceae, the carpel number particularly increased in the subgg.”
Evolutionary History of the Monocot Flower1 (2010, background): “…disperse nectar through three narrow openings at some point on the surface of the ovary, often close to the base of the style (Daumann, 1970; Hartl & Severin, 1981; Schmid, 1985; van Heel, 1988; Simpson, 1993; Smets et al., 2000; Kocyan & Endress, 2001; Rudall, 2002; Remizowa et al., 2006b, 2008).”
The Ancestral Ecology of Angiosperms: Emerging Perspectives from Extant Basal Lineages (2003, background): “Carpels in Amborella, Nymphaeales, Austrobaileyales, and Chloranthaceae are not sealed by postgenital (cellular) fusion but instead are “glued” to varying degrees by mucilage-like (identified as arabinogalactans by T. L. Sage [personal communication, 2002]) secretions (Endress 2001).”
Early Cretaceous Archaefructus eoflora sp. nov. with Bisexual Flowers from Beipiao, Western Liaoning, China (2004, background): “, 2003), laminar placentation in Nymphaeaceae (Taylor, 1991), and stamens originating in pairs in Nymphaeaceae (Endress, 2001).”
Floral Ontogeny of Aquilegia, Semiaquilegia, and Enemion (Ranunculaceae) (2005, background): “The basal-most extant angiosperms now are thought to be those belonging to the ANITA grade of families (Endress 2001); some of these have spirally arranged floral organs (e.g., Amborella, Austrobaileya, Schisandra), while others (e.g., Cabomba, Nymphaea) are whorled.”
Elaborate petals and staminodes in eudicots: Diversity, function, and evolution (2006, background): “Cabomba (Cabombaceae, Nymphaeales) with nectariferous auricles at the base of the ‘petal’ blade (in addition, these ‘petals’ are retarded in development as are typical eudicot petals; Endress 2001), Monodora (Annonaceae, Magnoliales) with two lateral appendages of unknown function (Le Thomas 1969), ”
Pollinating Flies (Diptera): A major contribution to plant diversity and agricultural production (2008, unknown): “POLLINATION ON TWO WINGS Diptera probably were among the first important angiosperm pollinators and may have, as such, been instrumental in the early angiosperm radiation (Endress 2001; Labandeira 1998).”
Monetianthus mirus gen. et sp. nov., a Nymphaealean Flower from the Early Cretaceous of Portugal (2009, background): “Irregular (chaotic) floral phyllotaxis is another possibility, but it occurs mainly in flowers with numerous floral organs that emerge as small primordia (Endress and Doyle 2007).”
Flower Evolution: The Origin and Subsequent Diversification of the Angiosperm Flower (2009, methodology): “…that separates angiosperms from their gymnosperm relatives, although fully closed (that is, fused) carpels are neither found in Amborella nor in several other early diverging angiosperm lineages (for example Trimenia, Austrobaileya, Chloranthaceae) (Endress 2001a; Endress & Igersheim 2000a, 2000b).”
Dark and disturbed: a new image of early angiosperm ecology (2004, background): “Consistent with greater ecological amplitude, the fossil record indicates that Chloranthaceae were the first conspicuous and widespread extant angiosperm lineage (although their abundance may be overestimated by high pollen production for wind pollination [Endress 1987]).”
Endressinia brasiliana, a Magnolialean Angiosperm from the Lower Cretaceous Crato Formation (Brazil) (2004, result): “This result, based on characters of living taxa (Endress 2001), appears to be generally in congruence with data from the fossil record.”
Evolution of Floral Structures in Basal Angiosperms (2003, background): “This view agrees to some extent with the current concept of the Euanthium theory (Cronquist 1988; Takhtajan 1991; although their concept of the primitive flower was that of a large Magnolia-like construct) and with evidence from fossils (Friis and Endress 1990, 1996; Endress 1994a, 2001).”
