About 14% of all fern species have chlorophyllous spores, which lack dormancy, have thin walls, and have a shorter viability (only a few days in some species). These spores should have limited dispersal distances and be more susceptible to harsher climatic conditions, raising questions about the evolutionary and ecological significance of this trait ...

Speciation, dispersal and the build‐up of fern diversity in the American tropics
Understanding how the remarkable biodiversity of the American tropics developed has been a long‐standing question, yet knowledge gaps remain. Previous studies examined the roles of bioregions in shaping diversity patterns but often overlooked speciation, a critical driver of species richness, and insufficiently accounted for temporal changes in ...

A rapid increase of ozone concentration up to the phytotoxic level is currently observed in the tropical forests. However, the effect of elevated concentration of O3 on tropical ferns and epiphytes has not yet been described and mechanisms of tolerance ...

ABSTRACT The Atlantic Forest domain is a biodiversity hotspot with remarkable amphibian diversity, including over 700 species, 70% of which are endemic. Most of these endemic species have restricted geographic ranges, often confined to mountainous areas, as exemplified by the leptodactylid genus Crossodactylodes.
