Global chloroplast phylogeny and biogeography of bracken (Pteridium; Dennstaedtiaceae) [PDF]
Bracken ferns (genus Pteridium) represent an ancient species complex with a natural worldwide distribution. Pteridium has historically been treated as comprising a single species, but recent treatments have recognized several related species. Phenotypic plasticity, geographically structured morphological variation, and geographically biased sampling ...

Application of a novel schema for describing fossil fern foliage and investigating taxonomic and morphological change across the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary in western North America. [PDF]
Abstract Premise The Chicxulub asteroid impact at the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary triggered a mass extinction 66 million years ago. Ferns thrived in the aftermath of the extinction, evidenced by the well‐documented “fern spore spike.” However, fern macrofossil records across the K–Pg boundary are less understood.

Antibacterial Activity of Peruvian Tarasa Species: A Comparative Study of the Antimicrobial Effects of Extracts From Three Different Tarasa Species, T. capitata, T. operculata and T. tenuis, Against Human Pathogens. [PDF]
The growing problem of antibiotic resistance has driven the search for new sources of antimicrobial agents. Plants, particularly those from the Malvaceae family, have showed promising potential in this field. The present study is based on Tarasa extracts, and the antimicrobial action was assessed using Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli as ...
