Three new records of fern species (Polypodiopsida) in Senegal, from Dindefelo Falls, Kedougou region [PDF]
Blotiella currorii (Hook.) R.M.Tryon. (Dennstaedtiaceae), Dicranopteris linearis (Burm.F.) Underw. (Gleicheniaceae), and Aleuritopteris farinosa (Forssk.) Fée (Pteridaceae) are reported for the first time in the flora of Senegal.

A comprehensive illustrated protocol for clearing, mounting, and imaging leaf venation networks. [PDF]
Abstract Premise Leaf venation network architecture can provide insights into plant evolution, ecology, and physiology. Venation networks are typically assessed through histological methods, but existing protocols provide limited guidance on processing large or challenging leaves.

Biogeochemical niche conservatism relates to plant species diversification and life form evolution in a subtropical montane evergreen broad-leaved forest. [PDF]
Our results show that biogeochemical niche conservatism relates to plant species diversification and life form evolution in subtropical forest plants. Furthermore, the strengths of biogeochemical niche conservatism varying among elements and between life forms might be mostly determined by the tempo and mode of OU processes.

Using eDNA metabarcoding to understand the effect of fire on the diet of small mammals in a woodland ecosystem. [PDF]
Information regarding diet changes over time after disturbance is lacking for many animals living in habitats prone to disturbances such as fires. DNA metabarcoding is a versatile molecular method that allows simultaneous characterization of many biotas using taxonomically informative barcode regions.

Fern flora of Viçosa, Minas Gerais State, Brazil: Dennstaedtiaceae, Lindsaeaceae and Saccolomataceae
As part of an ongoing project treating the ferns and lycophytes from the region of Viçosa, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, we here present the taxonomic treatment of the early divergent lineages of the leptosporangiate ferns: the families Dennstaedtiaceae ...

A preliminary world checklist of fern-mining insects. [PDF]
Compared to the leaf-miners and stem-miners on flowering plants, the miners on ferns (including both Lycopodiophyta and Polypodiophyta in the broad sense) are less known.

Non‐seed plants are emerging gene sources for agriculture and insect control proteins
SUMMARY The non‐seed plants (e.g., charophyte algae, bryophytes, and ferns) have multiple human uses, but their contributions to agriculture and research have lagged behind seed plants. While sharing broadly conserved biology with seed plants and the major crops, non‐seed plants sometimes possess alternative molecular and physiological adaptations ...

Abstract We undertook a molecular phylogenetic revision of hayscented ferns (Dennstaedtiaceae: Dennstaedtioideae) using four plastid markers. Our sampling represents ca. 40% of the extant diversity and includes the type species for each of the relevant segregate genera.

Pest categorisation of Lasiodiplodia pseudotheobromae
Abstract The EFSA Plant Health Panel performed a pest categorisation of Lasiodiplodia pseudotheobromae, a clearly defined fungus of the family Botryosphaeriaceae, which was first described in 2008 as a cryptic species within the L. theobromae complex.
