Abstract
Janet Gagul investigated the evolution of the tree genus Elaeocarpus. She used molecular and morphological datasets to determine the relationships among the living species and reconstruct the evolution of fruit types which allows fossils to be more accurately interpreted. She also described a new species of Elaeocarpus from Australia.
