Heat-based pollination in ancient plants
A remarkable study has revealed that some of the world’s oldest plants don’t rely on colour or scent…

Cycads, an ancient plant group, attract beetle pollinators by producing heat, becoming hotter than the ambient temperature by 15-25 degree Fahrenheit. The beetles sense the heated-up plants via infrared radiation.

"A study published today in Science reveals that cycads, tropical plants that resemble palms, attract beetles using infrared radiation generated by their conelike reproductive structures. [...] [T]he results offer a window into “the earliest form of pollination”—a prototype for what is today one of the most transformative ecological interactions on Earth."

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...
Some zooms into my "The Salt Lake Severn" painting (2022) of the Severn Estuary during the Middle Triassic, featuring Thecodontosaurus, cycads, and ferns. Commissioned by the Clevedon Pier Trust.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...
Into 2022 with a painting of the Severn Estuary during the Middle Triassic, called "The Salt Lake Severn," featuring Thecodontosaurus, cycads (Dioonitocarpidium), ferns (Thaumatopteris), and dust devils.

Dynamic plants: Origin & geographic evolution of cycads clarified
Paleobotanist have made an important breakthrough in understanding the origin and geographic distribution of cycads. By combining genetic data with leaf morphological data from both fossil and living species for the first time, the researchers created a phylogenetic tree of these fascinating and endangered plants.

#Cycads, a group of gymnosperms which can resemble miniature palm trees (like the popular sago palm #houseplant) were long thought to be “living #fossils,” a group that had evolved minimally since the time of the dinosaurs. Now, a well-preserved 80-million-year-old pollen cone discovered in California has rewritten scientific understanding of the #plants.

These Triassic fossil cycads absolutely blow me away every time I see them.

We're jumping to the #Maritimes today to celebrate one of #Canada's 🇨🇦 most important #fossil sites. #NovaScotia's #JogginsFossilCliffs are a window into the #Carboniferous, a period that saw the spread of a new #biome: #forests. This #fossilized #tree on display at the #RoyalOntarioMuseum is a #lycopsid, a super-sized relative of living #ClubMosses that, along with #cycads, #ferns, and early relatives of #seed #plants, made up the #flora of the #Joggins #forest.

A sign of the times. In the UK, "male and female sago palm cycads are producing cones at the same time outdoors. This means that cycads will be able to successfully reproduce at this latitude since at least the Cretaceous Period, roughly 120 million years ago."
