GO Paleobotany: the biology and evolution of fossil plants. Botany thus covers a huge range of plant species, from agricultural crops to delicate flowers to microscopic algae, Paleobotany involves the scientific recovery and study of plant fossil remains. Paleobotanists use these fossils to help build a picture of prehistoric environments, the feeding resources of extinct animals and the evolutionary pasts of modern plants. It was also where many modern plant lineages that attract predatory insects made their earliest appearances, placing the Republic flora among the oldest in which modern plant-insect associations can be traced in the fossil record. Fossil pollen from Central and West Africa provide no definitive evidence for communities of rainforest trees at the beginning of the Cenozoic, says Jacobs, an expert in the paleobotany of Africa soon after dinosaurs had gone extinct.
