Sphaeropteris cooperi: Australian Tree Fern

open access: yesEDIS, 2007
The Australian tree fern (Sphaeropteris cooperi) is a tropical, single-trunked fern native to eastern Australia, growing 15-30 feet tall. It has finely textured, lacy, bipinnately compound leaves and thrives in USDA zones 10B-11, in well-drained, sandy ...

Sphaeropteris guangxiensis Y. F. Gu & Y. H. Yan (Cyatheaceae), a new species of tree fern from Southern China

open access: yesPhytotaxa, 2021
Nearly 103 species of Sphaeropteris are distributed in tropical area, of which three species are indigenous to China. Our previous molecular study of the genus in China showed that there is an undescribed species from Guangxi province which could be ...

Actinostachys minuta, a new species of grass fern from Mindanao, Philippines [PDF]

open access: yesPhytoKeys, 2020
Actinostachys minuta Amoroso & Coritico (Schizaeaceae), from Mindanao, Philippines, is described herein as a new species. This species is distinguished from all other species of Actinostachys (grass ferns) by its notably short and narrow fronds ...

Fern Spores—“Ready-to-Use” Standards for Plant Genome Size Estimation Using a Flow Cytometric Approach [PDF]

open access: yesPlants, 2022
Spores and pollen of plants were used as flow cytometric materials to efficiently infer genome sizes. Given this advantage, they hold great potential for various flow cytometric applications, particularly as plant genome size standards.

Genomics is modifying our concepts of evolution in homosporous and heterosporous vascular plants [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Across the tree of life, and particularly within land plants, there is a wide diversity and disparity of genome structure. The most well‐studied are angiosperms, comprising mostly small and dynamic genomes, with a history of ancient whole genome duplications.

Spider (Araneae) Abundance and Diversity Across Land‐Use Gradients [PDF]

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We sampled spider populations in economically important kiwifruit orchards that are adjacent to either low‐disturbance ecosystems (native forest) or high‐disturbance ecosystems (maize), using pitfall traps and active sampling. A total of 2710 spiders were collected from 27 families, representing 64 species and eight functional guilds.

Construction of Aseptic Culture System for Spores of Sphaeropteris lepifera

open access: yesBioscience Methods, 2021
Through the aseptic culture test of Sphaeropteris lepifera (J Sm. ex Hook.) R. M. Tryon, try to screen out the best conditions for each process of aseptic culture for spores of Sphaeropteris lepifera, in order to establish a systematic, efficient and ...

Effective dispersal of fern spore and the ecological relevance of zoochory [PDF]

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 2116-2130, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The mechanisms of fern dispersal are under‐studied and there are few data to support the vectors assumed to drive patterns of sporophyte occurrence and speciation. Although wind is generally the fern spore dispersal vector described in the literature, there has always been competing evidence supporting alternate vectors.
