Negative density dependence and environmental heterogeneity effects on tree ferns across succession in a tropical montane forest. [PDF]

Perspectives in Plant Ecology, Evolution and Systematics, 2014
Although tree ferns are an important component of temperate and tropical forests, very little is known about their ecology. Their peculiar biology (e.g., dispersal by spores and two-phase life cycle) makes it difficult to extrapolate current knowledge on

What makes a good phorophyte? Predicting occupancy, species richness and abundance of vascular epiphytes in a lowland seasonal tropical forest

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
Epiphytes typically exhibit clustered distribution patterns, but predicting the spatial variation of their distribution at fine scales has long been a challenge. Taking advantage of a canopy crane giving access to 1.1 ha of lowland seasonal rainforest in

Phylotranscriptomics Illuminates the Placement of Whole Genome Duplications and Gene Retention in Ferns

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Ferns are the second largest clade of vascular plants with over 10,000 species, yet the generation of genomic resources for the group has lagged behind other major clades of plants.

Analyis on the vascular epiphytes of tree ferns in a montane rain forest in Costa Rica

Revista de Matemática: Teoría y Aplicaciones, 2009
The relationships between epiphytes and host specifity are known. We investigated the relation between specific epiphytes and tree fern trunks. Only some epiphytes are frequent or very frequent on tree ferns.

Diversity and distributional ecology of tree ferns of Sri Lanka: A step towards conservation of a unique gene pool

Ceylon Journal of Science, 2017
Tree ferns are a remarkable group among the lycophytes and ferns. Geographical isolation is suggested as one of the main reasons for local endemism of tree ferns and the island of Sri Lanka has been identified as one of the best demonstration sites to ...

Complete chloroplast genome sequence of a tree fern Alsophila spinulosa: insights into evolutionary changes in fern chloroplast genomes

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009
Background Ferns have generally been neglected in studies of chloroplast genomics. Before this study, only one polypod and two basal ferns had their complete chloroplast (cp) genome reported.

Genes Translocated into the Plastid Inverted Repeat Show Decelerated Substitution Rates and Elevated GC Content. [PDF]

, 2016
Plant chloroplast genomes (plastomes) are characterized by an inverted repeat (IR) region and two larger single copy (SC) regions. Patterns of molecular evolution in the IR and SC regions differ, most notably by a reduced rate of nucleotide substitution ...
