• Water Transport in Vesselless Angiosperms: Conducting Efficiency and Cavitation Safety (2007, result): “In a companion article (Sperry et al. 2007), we compare our results for vesselless angiosperms with results from some of their close vessel-bearing relatives, many of which have rather ‘‘primitive’’ vessel morphologies (Bailey 1953; Carlquist 1992a).”
• Xylem heterochrony: an unappreciated key to angiosperm origin and diversifications. (2009, background): “Considerations such as these may explain why, if Sperry et al. (2007) are correct, wood of ‘primitive’ vessel-bearing angiosperms is only marginally more efficient than vesselless wood.”
• Ferns in an Angiosperm World: Cretaceous Radiation into the Epiphytic Niche and Diversification on the Forest Floor (2012, background): “…on the ecophysiology of the earliest diverging and extant angiosperms suggest that these groups were low-light-adapted mesophytes (Feild et al. 2003, 2004; Sperry et al. 2007; Brodribb et al. 2009); thus, the notion that early gymnosperm forests were in some way ‘‘brighter’’ is somewhat limited.”
• Xylem hydraulic physiology: the functional backbone of terrestrial plant productivity. (2009, background): “The degradation of end-walls between vessel elements (perforation plates) appears to have undergone gradualistic evolution with single large pores between vessel elements superseding more resistive barred perforation plates [62,63].”
• Insular Woodiness on the Canary Islands: A Remarkable Case of Convergent Evolution (2013, background): “However, there is general consensus that the length of entire vessels greatly overwhelms the importance of vessel element length in the water transport mechanism of plants (Sperry et al. 2007; Lens et al. 2011).”
• How wood evolves: a new synthesis (2012, background): ““Primitive” angiosperm woods have high resistivity (i.e., conduction efficiency lowered by friction) according to the data of Sperry et al. (2007) and are thus not a structural formula that is suited to a wide range of ecological sites.”
