ANTARCTIC CRETACEOUS BIODIVERSITY CHANGE 145
Fig. 4. Diversity trends through the Cretaceous for macrofloral (solid line) and mierofloral (dashed line) data.
Note the close correspondence between angiosperm diversity and palaeotemperature estimates (F) for the
Southern Ocean. Temperature curve modified and smoothed from Huber (1998). Macrofloral taxic diversity
compiled from Orlando (1968), Hernandez & Azcarate (1971), Lacey & Lucas (1981), Banerji & Lemoigne
(1987), Rees & Smellie (1989), Barale et al (1995), Cesari et al. (1999), Hayes (1999), Cantrill (2000) and
Falcon-Lang et al. (2001). Mierofloral taxic diversity compiled from Dettmann & Thomson (1987), Askin
(1990,1994), Dolding (1992), Keating (1992), Keating et al. (1992), Riding et al (1998), Barreda et al. (1999).
Hathway et al. (1999) and Cantrill (2000).
