A metabarcoding protocol targeting two DNA regions to analyze root-associated fungal communities in ferns and lycophytes. [PDF]
Appl Plant Sci, 2023 Abstract Premise Detailed studies of the fungi associated with lycophytes and ferns provide crucial insights into the early evolution of land plants. However, most investigations to date have assessed fern–fungus interactions based only on visual root inspection. In the present research, we establish and evaluate a metabarcoding protocol to analyze the

High species richness and turnover of vascular epiphytes is associated with water availability along the elevation gradient of Volcán Maderas, Nicaragua. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 We documented and examined patterns of species richness and abundance of tropical epiphytes along the entire elevational gradient of an isolated, island volcano. Our complete and detailed sampling along the gradient improves our understanding of vascular epiphyte distribution and its association to weather variables, based on direct observations.

Evolutionary mobility and genetic dynamics of MORFFO genes: shuttling among ancient plant lineages. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Plastid genomes (plastomes) of land plants are characterized by their architectural and genic content stability. However, fern plastomes exhibit unexpected dynamism, characterized by the presence of mobile protein‐coding genes (CDS) – Mobile Open Reading Frames in Fern Organelles (MORFFOs). We investigate the evolutionary dynamics of MORFFOs in

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 34, Issue 9, Page 2494-2507, 30 May 2023., 2023 Abstract On 19 September 2021, a new monogenetic volcano (Tajogaite) erupted on the Island of La Palma (Canary Islands, Spain). After 85 days of Strombolian style eruption, with emissions of volcanic material, a pyroclastic cone 200 m high and 800 m in its basal diameter was formed.

TAXON, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 20-46, February 2023., 2023 Abstract We undertook a molecular phylogenetic revision of hayscented ferns (Dennstaedtiaceae: Dennstaedtioideae) using four plastid markers. Our sampling represents ca. 40% of the extant diversity and includes the type species for each of the relevant segregate genera.

Inception and Evolution of La Corona Lava Tube System (Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain)
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 127, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022 Abstract Growing interest in studying large terrestrial lava tubes is motivated in part by their analogy with their extra‐terrestrial counterparts. However, on Earth, the formation of such structures is still poorly understood. Here, the lava tube system of La Corona (Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain) is studied to identify how pre‐existing ...

Actinostachys pennula and Schizaea elegans (Schizaeaceae), new records for the flora of Paraguay
Bonplandia, 2018 Actinostachys pennula and Schizaea elegans are cited for the first time for the flora of Paraguay. Both species are the first records of the Schizaeaceae family in the country. A description of the species, images of herbarium specimens and their habitat

American Journal of Botany, Volume 107, Issue 7, Page 1054-1071, July 2020., 2020 Premise Undoubtedly, fossils are critical for understanding evolutionary transformations in deep time. Here, we reinvestigate the microspores and megaspores of Paleoazolla patagonica, a water fern found in Late Cretaceous sediments of the Chubut Province, Patagonia, Argentina, which provides novel evidence on the past history of the water fern clade ...
