Special issue in honour of Prof. Reto J. Strasser - Sporulation modifies the photosynthetic activity of sporotrophophyll leaves of Platycerium bifurcatum

open access: yesPhotosynthetica, 2020
Platycerium bifurcatum is an epiphytic fern, occurring mainly in the forests of Australia and New Guinea. The location and spatial structure of its sporangia makes this fern a unique research model for physiological experiments.

Morphology, Physiology, and Anatomy of Penny Fern (Drymoglossum phyloselloides)and Its Effect on Cocoa

open access: yesCoffee and Cocoa Research Journal, 2013
This study aims to determine the anatomy, physiology and morphology of penny fern (Drimoglosum phylloseloides) and its effect on cocoa. Morphological observation of penny fern used microscope to observe the roots, stems, leaves and spores.

Phenolic substances and cyanogenesis in galled and non-galled tissue of the fern species Microgramma vacciniifolia

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology, 2021
Galls, neo-formed plant structures that can occur in different organs, are generated by species-specific interaction with an inducing organism. Inducers manipulate the metabolism of its host. Microgramma vacciniifolia (Langsd. & Fisch.) Copel.

Epiphytism, anatomy and regressive evolution in trichomanoid filmy ferns (Hymenophyllaceae) [PDF]

open access: yesBotanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2013
The few studies on the evolution of epiphytism in ferns have mostly focused on xerophytic and humus-collecting strategies, neglecting hygrophytes that are abundant in rainforests, such as the trichomanoids (Hymenophyllaceae). Using a phylogenetic approach, we studied the acquisition of epiphytism in this lineage, with the aim of identifying ecological ...

Diversity of epiphyte ferns along an elevational gradient in El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve, southern Mexico [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Background and aims – In the tropics, some studies have found that the richness of epiphytic ferns present a peak at mountain mid-elevations. However, it is not well understood how transitions from tropical to subtropical conditions affect this peak, and

Botanical Survey in Moyo Island, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia: Inventory of Flora Collection at Forest

open access: yesJournal of Tropical Life Science, 2017
Nusa Tenggara consists of some small islands, one of them is Moyo Island. The diversity of plant species in this island is not really known for certain. This research was determined to observe the diversity of plant spe-cies in Moyo Island forest.

Asplenium bird’s nest ferns in rainforest canopies are climate-contingent refuges for frogs

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2014
Epiphytes are important for canopy dwelling organisms because they provide a cool and moist microhabitat in the relatively hot and dry canopy. Here we examine whether epiphytic Asplenium ferns act as important habitats for arboreal frogs.

What makes a good phorophyte? Predicting occupancy, species richness and abundance of vascular epiphytes in a lowland seasonal tropical forest

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
Epiphytes typically exhibit clustered distribution patterns, but predicting the spatial variation of their distribution at fine scales has long been a challenge. Taking advantage of a canopy crane giving access to 1.1 ha of lowland seasonal rainforest in

Analysis of Comparative Transcriptome and Positively Selected Genes Reveal Adaptive Evolution in Leaf-Less and Root-Less Whisk Ferns

open access: yesPlants, 2022
While roots and leaves have evolved independently in lycophytes, ferns and seed plants, there is still confusion regarding the morphological evolution of ferns, especially in whisk ferns, which lack true leaves and roots and instead only exhibit leaf ...
