Pteridophyte species richness in the central Himalaya is limited by cold climate extremes at high elevations and rainfall seasonality at low elevations [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 There is a consensus that climate factors strongly influence species richness along elevation gradients, but which factors are crucial and how they operate are still elusive.

Studies of Vietnamese Pteridophyte Flora 3 [PDF]
PhytoKeysThis is the third paper in a series dedicated to updating the knowledge of the Vietnamese pteridophyte flora. Based on recent collections, we first reported three new national records of ferns: Haplopteris yakushimensis, Lindsaea kohkongensis, and Pteris

Global Diversification Rates of Ferns Across Spatial and Climatic Gradients [PDF]
Advanced ScienceGeographic patterns of diversity in any group of plants are the result of the interplay of environmental conditions and the evolutionary dynamics of the respective plant group. Here, the geographic distribution of current mean diversification rates (MDR)

An open and continuously updated fern tree of life [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Ferns, with about 12,000 species, are the second most diverse lineage of vascular plants after angiosperms. They have been the subject of numerous molecular phylogenetic studies, resulting in the publication of trees for every major clade and DNA ...

A taxonomic and molecular survey of the pteridophytes of the Nectandra Cloud Forest Reserve, Costa Rica. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Floristic surveys are crucial to the conservation of biodiversity, but the vast majority of such surveys are limited to listing species names, and few take into account the evolutionary history of species.

Perspectives of pteridophytes microbiome for bioremediation in agricultural applications [PDF]
Open Life SciencesThe microbiome is the synchronised congregation of millions of microbial cells in a particular ecosystem. The rhizospheric, phyllospheric, and endospheric microbial diversity of lower groups of plants like pteridophytes, which includes the Ferns and Fern

The PteridoPortal: A publicly accessible collection of over three million records of extant and extinct pteridophytes [PDF]
Applications in Plant SciencesPremise Pteridophytes—vascular land plants that disperse by spores—are a powerful system for studying plant evolution, particularly with respect to the impact of abiotic factors on evolutionary trajectories through deep time.

Floristic and functional diversity of ferns and lycophytes at three elevational zones in the eastern slopes of the northern Andes, Ecuador [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 2022 The northeastern slope of the Andes is an area of high diversity of ferns and lycophytes. In this study we assessed the diversity patterns of ferns and lycophytes in ten 250 m x 2 m plots installed at three elevational zones, from 418 to 3447 m.a.s.l ...
