Importance of habit and environmental characteristics in shaping patterns of richness and range size of ferns and lycophytes in the Atlantic Forest.

American-Eurasian journal of botany
PREMISE Ferns and lycophytes, the two spore-bearing lineages of vascular plants, share a unique life cycle, and because of several morpho-ecophysiological similarities, are usually investigated as a unit, but they may have distinct ecological and ...

Lycophytes, Ferns, and Gymnosperms

2015
This chapter surveys the diversity of living tracheophytes, clarifying the term tracheo. This term refers to the presence of tracheids, and the Greek root part of the word phyte means plant. The chapter also explains how tracheophytes form a well-supported monophyletic group of generally large plants with branched sporophyte axes and well-developed ...

Plastomes of Bryophytes, Lycophytes and Ferns

2012
We review current progress in our understanding of chloroplast genomes (plastomes) of liverworts, mosses, hornworts, lycophytes and monilophytes. We briefly cover some of the methods used to obtain complete nucleotide sequences of plastomes and we summarize the published sequences from the plant groups above. We explore some of the evolutionary changes

Evolutionary Genomics of Ferns and Lycophytes

2016
Abstract Ferns and lycophytes are ubiquitous and charismatic members of many terrestrial ecosystems. Members of these lineages play key ecological roles in many of Earth's biomes and have an ancient fossil record dating back to the Devonian. Modern ferns underwent significant diversification in the Cretaceous, and the clade as a whole occupies a ...

Mycorrhizal relationships in Lycophytes and Ferns

2016
Mycorrhizae, i.e., symbiotic associations between fungi and plant roots, occur in about 80% of land plant species and have been shown to benefit both the fungus (carbon uptake) and plant (nutrient and water uptake, protection against pathogenic fungi). We here provide a brief overview of the state of knowledge of mycorrhization in ferns. Only about 62%

Evolution and Classification of Ferns and Lycophytes

2018
The last several decades have seen a transformation in our understanding of the evolutionary history of ferns and lycophytes. Historically the plants belonging to these lineages were grouped together and referred to as “pteridophytes” or “ferns and fern allies.” These terms both describe what we now recognize to be non-monophyletic assemblages, and ...

Latitude‐independent, continent‐wide consistency in climate–richness relationships in Asian ferns and lycophytes

Journal of Biogeography, 2019
To assess richness patterns of ferns and lycophytes in relation to climatic factors in Eastern Asia, analysing eight elevational gradients, situated along a latitudinal gradient.
