Evolutionary Trajectories and Biogeochemical Impacts of Marine Eukaryotic Phytoplankton (2004, background): “Grasses originated in the Cretaceous, but remained sparse until the Eocene/ Oligocene boundary (33.7 Ma) (Kellogg 2000, Retallack 2001), when global climates became more arid as a result of major glaciation in the Antarctic.”

SCALE AND HIERARCHY IN MACROEVOLUTION (2007, background): “For example, grasses originated in the Late Cretaceous or early Cenozoic (Crepet and Feldman 1991), diversified taxonomically by the late Eocene or early Oligocene, and finally gained ecological dominance in North America in the late Oligocene or early Miocene (Kellogg 2000; Strömberg 2005).”

Assembling the Tree of the Monocotyledons: Plastome Sequence Phylogeny and Evolution of Poales1 (2010, background): “Factors promoting such dominance might include (1) moderate to tall stature, usually combined with rapid rhizomatous spread; (2) morphological and physiological adaptations of grasses (e.g., narrow, erect foliage, C4 photosynthesis) to widespread drought under bright, warm conditions starting in the”
Developmental Gene Evolution and the Origin of Grass Inflorescence Diversity (2006, background): “Similarly, in the tribe Andropogoneae, the final round of branching produces a pair of spikelets, one sessile and one pedicellate, from a common meristem (the spikelet pair meristem), which can be interpreted as a short branch meristem that itself produces a single branch.”
