Complete chloroplast genome of the tree fern Alsophila podophylla (Cyatheaceae)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018
The chloroplast genome of the tree fern Alsophila podophylla has been completely sequenced. The genome is 166,151 bp in size and features a typical quadripartite structure with the large (LSC, 86,762 bp) and small single copy (SSC, 21,641 bp) regions ...

Winter Protection of Tree Ferns at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh

open access: yesSibbaldia, 2007
Ten plants of six species of tree fern were trialled for frost hardiness during the winter of 2005/06 when they were planted outdoors in the ground of an interior courtyard at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.

Towards Resolving the Complete Fern Tree of Life

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
In the past two decades, molecular systematic studies have revolutionized our understanding of the evolutionary history of ferns. The availability of large molecular data sets together with efficient computer algorithms, now enables us to reconstruct evolutionary histories with previously unseen completeness. Here, the most comprehensive fern phylogeny

Landscape-Scale Impacts of Deer on Tree Ferns in South-Eastern Australia

open access: yes
Tree ferns (order Cyatheales) are a key component of wet forests globally, providing critical forest understorey structure and ecosystem functions. Tree ferns may be impacted by ungulates in novel habitats, but the extent and severity of these impacts ...

Fix Thyself: Un/Doing Confidence in Women's Entrepreneurship

open access: yesGender, Work &Organization, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Are women at work really lacking confidence? Recent books and videos addressing women's presumed lack of confidence suggest that women can achieve success if they work on their confidence. This is also true for women entrepreneurs, who are regularly encouraged to be more confident than they appear to be.

Seasonality and plasticity in the use of native and introduced plant resources by a large forest parrot

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Human‐induced environmental change is reshaping plant communities, requiring native animals to adapt their foraging behaviour to track and exploit novel food resources. Trees such as pines (Pinus spp.) introduced for plantation forestry outside of their native ranges often become naturalized.

Against the odds: Nesting specialization and foraging ecology provide insights into climate change responses in a mountain bee

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
A unique high‐elevation Exoneura bee defies typical elevation‐driven declines in bee activity, nesting exclusively in dead branches of snow gums near the alpine tree line. Nesting and foraging are tightly linked to snow gum presence, with most activity occurring within 30 m of these trees. Biophysical modelling indicates the bee's thermally constrained

Lianas, tree ferns and understory species: indicators of conservation status in the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest remnants, southeastern Brazil

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology
Indicators are applied faster and at lower costs than conventional surveys, providing quick and efficient responses that can facilitate protected areas management. Our aim was to select indicators from vegetation to monitor protected areas.

Speciation of European bullheads (Cottus spp.): The next problem for taxonomy of northern freshwater fishes

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract High morphological and ecological diversity displayed by European bullheads led Freyhof et al. (2005) to describe 15 nominal species. However, the basis for declaring these nominal species is contentious due to a lack of rigorous statistical analysis of morphological variations among populations, limitations in the inferences made from ...

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 loam soils with partial to full shade. It requires regular moisture and light fertilization.
