The effects of bryophyte communities on the establishment and survival of an epiphytic fern
Folia Geobotanica, 2015Ferns typically grow in soil that has sufficient moisture to enable the germination, fertilization and growth of gametophytes. However, the epiphytic fern, Lepisorus thunbergianus grows on tree trunks often in urban areas, where its gametophytes are susceptible to desiccation and its spores are easily washed off by rainwater.

The suitability of the epiphytic fern Lepisorus thunbergianus (Kaulf.) Ching, common in East and Southeast Asia, for the in situ biomonitoring of atmospheric mercury levels was investigated. L. thunbergianus is an evergreen fern with young, mature and old fronds throughout the year.

Adaptation of a widespread epiphytic fern to simulated climate change conditions
Plant Ecology, 2014The response of species to climate change is generally studied using ex situ manipulation of microclimate or by modeling species range shifts under simulated climate scenarios. In contrast, a reciprocal transplant experiment was used to investigate the in situ adaptive response of the elevationally widespread epiphytic fern Asplenium antiquum to ...

AbstractVascular epiphytes and tree ferns constitute an important part of the Atlantic Forest structure. We characterized vascular epiphyte communities on two tree fern species (Alsophila setosa Kaulf. and Cyathea phalerata Mart.) including accidental epiphytes (i.e., species that are usually terrestrial, without necessarily completing their life cycle

Gametophyte ecology and demography of epiphytic and terrestrial tropical ferns
American Journal of Botany, 2007Factors that influence the distribution of ferns are poorly understood and likely reflect the ecology of both the sporophyte and the gametophyte generation. Little study has been done on the ecology of the gametophyte generation, especially in regard to tropical species.

Low‐Trunk Epiphytic Ferns on Tree Ferns Versus Angiosperms in Costa Rica
Biotropica, 2003ABSTRACTWe studied the occurrence of epiphytic ferns on the lower trunks of two kinds of hosts: tree ferns and angiosperms. The study was conducted in Costa Rica at the La Selva Biological Field Station (50 m elev.), Las Cruces Biological Field Station (1200 m), Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve (1500 m), and Cuerici Biological Field Station (2600 m). At

Divergence Times and the Evolution of Epiphytism in Filmy Ferns (Hymenophyllaceae) Revisited
International Journal of Plant Sciences, 2008Although the phylogeny of the filmy fern family (Hymenophyllaceae) is rapidly coming into focus, much remains to be uncovered concerning the evolutionary history of this clade. In this study, we use two data sets (108‐taxon rbcL + rps4, 204‐taxon rbcL) and fossil constraints to examine the diversification of filmy ferns and the evolution of their ...

Control of branching pattern in Microgramma vacciniifolia, an epiphytic fern
Planta, 1975The rate of expansion of lateral buds of Microgramma vacciniifolia (Langsd. et Fisch) Copeland (Polypodiaceae) does not differ in intact plants, in plants with the rhizome apex removed, and in plants with the apex removed and replaced with indole-acetic acid (IAA).

The Effects of Drought and the Recovery Phase of Two Tropical Epiphytic Ferns
Journal of Tropical Plant Physiology, 2020The climate change scenario results in a reduction in rain precipitation in a large part of the tropical regions. This could be particularly severe for epiphytic species that rely entirely on rain or air humidity. Therefore, the knowledge of whether epiphytic plants can recover after a prolonged period of drought is pivotal in understanding their ...
