The complete chloroplast genome of Elaphoglossum sinii (Dryopteridaceae), an endemic fern from China [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA Part B: Resources
Elaphoglossum sinii C. Christensen 1932 is an endemic species of Elaphoglossum (Dryopteridaceae) in China, distributed in Guangxi and Yunnan provinces. Here, we assembled and annotated the first complete chloroplast genome sequence of E. sinii, which has

How Epiphytic Are Epiphytes? Field Evidence for Flexible Substrate Use in Tropical Cloud Forest Plants. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In the field, 63% of the species grew exclusively epiphytically, while 37% also grew terrestrially. Literature‐derived epiphytic values consistently overestimated substrate fidelity relative to field observations, particularly single‐source classifications, with mean absolute differences of up to 32%.

Edaphic heterogeneity and the evolutionary trajectory of Amazonian plant communities. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2021
We investigated the phylogenetic structure of Amazonian fern and palm communities on edaphically distinct sites. We show that phylogenetic community structure varies along a soil base cation concentration gradient within non‐inundated Amazonian rain forests.

Fern mycorrhizae do not respond to fertilization in a tropical montane forest. [PDF]

Plant Environ Interact
In the present study, we assessed the root‐associated fungi of two epiphytic and two terrestrial fern species in a 15‐year fertilization experiment in the Ecuadorean Andes. We found no effect of fertilization on the diversity or abundance of the fungal assemblages associated with ferns.

Seeing the wood despite the trees: Exploring human disturbance impact on plant diversity, community structure, and standing biomass in fragmented high Andean forests. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2021
High Andean forests play a key role in providing ecosystem services for neighboring urban settlements. Here, we aimed to identify and understand the effects of anthropogenic perturbations on diversity, composition, and structure of plant communities, as well as aboveground biomass in high Andean forest remnants in the hinterland of Bogotá.

The relationship between chlorophyllous spores and mycorrhizal associations in ferns: evidence from an evolutionary approach

American Journal of Botany, Volume 109, Issue 12, Page 2068-2081, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Premise Approximately 14% of all fern species have physiologically active chlorophyllous spores that are much more short‐lived than the more common and dormant achlorophyllous spores. Most chlorophyllous‐spored species (70%) are epiphytes and account for almost 37% of all epiphytic ferns.
