Abstract Premise The entire life cycle of ferns has been documented, yet their life histories are still poorly understood. In particular, the phenology of fern gametophytes remains largely unknown. To address this issue, we demonstrated a new ecological approach to explore the phenological link between spore release and gametophyte maturation within ...

Abstract Premise The great variation of genome size (C‐value) across land plants is linked to various adaptative features. Flow cytometry (FCM), the standard approach to estimating C‐values, relies mostly on fresh materials, performing poorly when used with herbarium materials. No fern C‐value reports have been derived from herbarium specimens; however,

Fern spore dispersal: A methodological review and experimental field study
Abstract Spore dispersal is one of the most important but perhaps the least investigated and understood processes in determining the geographical distribution of fern species. After a methodological review of the aerobiology of fern spores, we examined the impact of spore characteristics and meteorological factors on their airborne dispersal.

Ophiorrhiza echinata, a new species of Rubiaceae from the southern Western Ghats, India
A new species of the genus Ophiorrhiza (Rubiaceae) is described and illustrated from the Idukki District of Kerala, Western Ghats, India. The new species is allied to Ophiorrhiza caudata C.E.C.Fisch. and Ophiorrhiza munnarensis C.E.C.Fisch, but differs in having echinate young stem, leaf lateral nerve pairs 8–14, triangular, caducous stipules, 14.0–23 ...

Marcescence and prostrate growth in tree ferns are adaptations to cold tolerance
Cold tolerance strategies in plants vary from structural to biochemical permitting many plants to survive and grow on sites that experience freezing conditions intermittently. Although tree ferns occur predominantly across the tropics, they also occur in temperate zones and occasionally in areas that experience sub‐zero temperatures, and how these ...

Andaman and Nicobar Islands have a typical tropical climate receiving rains both from Southwest and Northeast monsoons. The climate and position of the Islands have facilitated the evolution of diverse and unique ecosystems. Most of the floristic diversity relates to the native species of Malaysia, Myanmar and India.

Pest categorisation of Pyrrhoderma noxium
Abstract Following the commodity risk assessment of bonsai plants (Pinus parviflora grafted on Pinus thunbergii) from China performed by EFSA, the EFSA Plant Health Panel performed a pest categorisation of Pyrrhoderma noxium, a clearly defined plant pathogenic basidiomycete fungus of the order Hymenochaetales and the family Hymenochaetaceae.

Biological invasions are increasing globally, with species demonstrating differing responses to climate change in their native and invaded ranges. Investigating how alien species respond to climate change is important for planning management interventions. This study considered how the distribution of Sphaeropteris cooperi (Hook. ex F.Muell.)
