Phyllotaxis, ontogeny and CT imaging: old and new approaches to understanding optimal seed packing in Middle Jurassic <i>Araucaria mirabilis</i> cones
Visualizing internal morphometrics and seed arrangements show which characteristics contribute to optimal seed packing. Thus, micro-CT imaging, in addition to traditional methods, enables a deeper study of conifer cone morphology and construction.
