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.

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.

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

Evolution of Repetitive Genomic Content and Gene Families Over Geo-Climatic Gradients in Brassicaceae. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAlong temperature gradients such as elevation and latitude, species typically occupy distinct ranges, and life at the extremes may come with adaptive and non‐adaptive genomic changes. In the Brassicaceae family, comparative genomics revealed that geo‐climatic factors strongly predict genome size and transposable element (TE) content, explaining up to ...

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.

Patterns of ferns community assemblages in some Malaysian and Nigerian tropical forests
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022 The study assessed the patterns of ferns species richness (SR) and phylogenetic diversity (PD) in relation to the bioclimatic drivers in some Nigerian and Malaysian forests. Fern species richness and diversity is significantly higher in Malaysian forests than in Nigerian forests.

Directional changes over time in the species composition of tropical vascular epiphyte assemblages
Journal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 3, Page 553-568, March 2022., 2022 Directionality in the temporal changes of epiphyte assemblages suggests that niche‐based mechanisms dominate these temporal changes. Host size over host identity is the most important environmental filter for epiphyte assemblages establishment. Tree Vectors Pack by Pixeden.com (https://www.freevector.com/trees‐illustrations).

A target enrichment probe set for resolving the flagellate land plant tree of life
Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 9, Issue 1, January 2021., 2021 PREMISE New sequencing technologies facilitate the generation of large‐scale molecular data sets for constructing the plant tree of life. We describe a new probe set for target enrichment sequencing to generate nuclear sequence data to build phylogenetic trees with any flagellate land plants, including hornworts, liverworts, mosses, lycophytes, ferns ...
