Blowin' in the Wind: Ferns and Lycophytes Connect Biogeographic Refuges in the Atlantic Forest
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 11, November 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Test the floristic structure of fern and lycophyte in the Northeastern Atlantic Forest based on the two sub‐regions of endemism, (1) montane inland wet forests and (2) Coastal Forests. Location Northeastern Brazil's Atlantic Forest, particularly the Coastal and Montane inland wet forests. Taxon Ferns and lycophytes.

Effective dispersal of fern spore and the ecological relevance of zoochory
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 2116-2130, October 2025.ABSTRACT The mechanisms of fern dispersal are under‐studied and there are few data to support the vectors assumed to drive patterns of sporophyte occurrence and speciation. Although wind is generally the fern spore dispersal vector described in the literature, there has always been competing evidence supporting alternate vectors.

Are leaves optimally designed for self-support? An investigation on giant monocots
, 2016 Leaves are the organs that intercept light and create photosynthesis. Efficient light interception is provided by leaves oriented orthogonal to most of the sun rays.

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 1, Page 107-124, October 2025.Summary Plant cuticles protect the interior tissues from ambient hazards, including desiccation, UV light, physical wear, herbivores and pathogens. Consequently, cuticle properties are shaped by evolutionary selection. We compiled a global dataset of leaf cuticle thickness (CT) and accompanying leaf traits for 1212 species, mostly angiosperms, from 293

Negative density dependence and environmental heterogeneity effects on tree ferns across succession in a tropical montane forest. [PDF]
, 2014 Although tree ferns are an important component of temperate and tropical forests, very little is known about their ecology. Their peculiar biology (e.g., dispersal by spores and two-phase life cycle) makes it difficult to extrapolate current knowledge on
