Control of bracken by promoting regeneration of woody vegetation in the Yucatan Peninsula
In the tropical dry forest of the Yucatan Peninsula in southern Mexico, as in many parts of the Neotropics, deforested areas have been colonized by the highly competitive invasive bracken (Pteridium arachnoideum), which inhabits naturally regenerated and

Palynological analysis of Dennstaedtiaceae taxa from the Paranaense Phytogeografic Province that produce monolete spores and its systematic implications (I): Blotiella lindeniana , Histiopteris incisa and Paesia glandulosa [PDF]
The genera of Dennstaedtiaceae have sporophytes with very different morphological characteristics between each other, and this feature has made difficult the systematic circumscription of the family.

Kinetics of the Natural Evolution of Hydrogen Cyanide in Plants in Neotropical Pteridium arachnoideum and its Ecological Significance [PDF]
The time-dependent natural release of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) was studied quantitatively using young croziers of the neotropical bracken fern Pteridium arachnoideum. HCN production was quantified in crushed tissue using a flow reactor at 30.0 +/- 0.1 degrees C. Released HCN was carried into appropriate traps with a moist air flow.

Clastogenic effect of bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum v. arachnoideum) diet in peripheral lymphocytes of human consumers: preliminary data [PDF]
AbstractIngestion of bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum v. arachnoideum) is associated with digestive tract cancer in different regions of Japan, Venezuela and Brazil. In view of reports that dietary bracken fern causes chromosomal instability in cattle, the clastogenic effect of bracken fern was investigated, in a preliminary study, in peripheral ...

Although fire occurrence plays a central role in the dominance of the super-dominant bracken fern Pteridium arachnoideum in Neotropical forests, it is unclear whether this applies to the Brazilian savanna (Cerrado), which vegetation is naturally adapted to fire. We assessed fire effects on the aboveground biomass of P.
