    Department of Palaeobotany, Swedish Museum of Natural History, SE 104 05 Stockholm, Sweden
    Nature 450:549-52. 2007
    ..This has significant consequences for hypotheses of seed plant phylogeny by providing support for key elements of the controversial anthophyte hypothesis, which links angiosperms, Bennettitales and Gnetales...
  5. ncbi Cellular and subcellular structure of neoproterozoic animal embryos
    James W Hagadorn
    Department of Geology, Amherst College, Amherst, MA 01002, USA
    Science 314:291-4. 2006
    ..Many of these features are compatible with metazoans, but the absence of epithelialization is consistent only with a stem-metazoan affinity for Doushantuo embryos...

    Philip C J Donoghue
    Department of Earth Sciences, University of Bristol, Bristol BS8 1RJ, UK
    Nature 442:680-3. 2006
    ..SRXTM provides a method of non-invasive analysis that rivals the resolution achieved even by destructive methods, probing the very limits of fossilization and providing insight into embryology during the emergence of metazoan phyla...

  11. ncbi Fossilized embryos are widespread but the record is temporally and taxonomically biased
    Philip C J Donoghue
    Department of Earth Sciences, University of Bristol, Bristol BS8 1RJ, UK
    Evol Dev 8:232-8. 2006
    ..Together, these biases must be considered seriously in attempts to use the fossil record to arbitrate between hypotheses of developmental and life history evolution implicated in the origin of metazoan clades...
