Hydraulic Consequences of Vessel Evolution in Angiosperms (2007, background): “Of course, this heteroxylous advantage would only be available in wet habitats, where the greater vulnerability of primitive vessels was not a problem (Feild et al. 2004).”
Early evolution of angiosperm pollen as inferred from molecular and morphological phylogenetic analyses (2005, background): “Barclaya changed from (?) to (1) based on Feild et al. (2004).”
Viewing leaf structure and evolution from a hydraulic perspective (2010, background): “data) and most of these species are confined to understorey or cold environments where transpirational demand remains low (Feild et al. 2004).”
Phylogenetic Analyses of Basal Angiosperms Based on Nine Plastid, Mitochondrial, and Nuclear Genes (2005, background): “…a classification system for angiosperms (APG II 2003) and to guide investigation of various aspects of early angiosperm evolution (e.g., Endress and Igersheim 2000; Friis et al. 2000; Thien et al. 2000; Williams and Friedman 2002; Ronse De Craene et al. 2003; Feild et al. 2004; Kramer et al. 2004).”
Angiosperms Helped Put the Rain in the Rainforests: The Impact of Plant Physiological Evolution on Tropical Biodiversity1 (2010, background): “…localities suggesting warm, wet forests as early as the Cenomanian about 100 million years ago (Upchurch & Wolfe, 1987) and by recent arguments that large seed size is an advantage for germination in deep shade rather than a requirement (reviewed in Feild et al., 2004; Davis et al., 2005).”
The hare, the tortoise and the crocodile: the ecology of angiosperm dominance, conifer persistence and fern filtering (2005, background): “The argument that angiosperms gain an advantage against New Zealand’s conifers by having small seed size and tolerance of shade is consistent with recent palaeoecological evidence that identifies these traits as setting the angiosperms apart from Early Cretaceous conifers (Feild et al. 2004).”
Ferns in an Angiosperm World: Cretaceous Radiation into the Epiphytic Niche and Diversification on the Forest Floor (2012, background): “Studies 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…”
Seed ferns and the origin of angiosperms (2006, background): “Chloranthaceae as a whole scored as (0), Illicium changed from (0) to (1), and Schisandraceae changed from (?) to (0) based on Eklund et al. (2004) and Feild et al. (2004).”
Integrating Early Cretaceous fossils into the phylogeny of living angiosperms: Magnoliidae and eudicots (2010, background): “Based on an analysis of the ecophysiology of living members of the ANITA grade and Chloranthaceae in a phylogenetic framework, Feild et al. (2004) concluded that the first angiosperms were physiologically restricted to dark and disturbed habitats in the wet forest understory.”
Hydathodal leaf teeth of Chloranthus japonicus (Chloranthaceae) prevent guttation‐induced flooding of the mesophyll (2005, background): “( Feild et al. 2004 ), so we chose 500 mmol m”
A greater range of shade‐tolerance niches in nutrient‐rich forests: an explanation for positive richness–productivity relationships? (2009, background): “Pseudowintera colorata, a member of the Winteraceae (a basal lineage of angiosperms), is well-adapted to shade tolerance due to three features of its foliage: flat leaves that efficiently intercept light at low irradiance (Hill & Brodribb 1999; Feild et al. 2004), a pessimistic growth habit (sensu K”
