Environmental factors affect population structure of tree ferns in the Brazilian subtropical Atlantic Forest [PDF]

open access: yesActa Botânica Brasílica, 2020
Tree ferns are important elements of tropical forests, mainly because they are common and provide microhabitats for epiphytic plants. Due to their ecological importance, the aim of this study was to evaluate population structure, distribution, and ...

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

open access: yesRevista 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.

Tree Ferns of C. contaminans and C. orientalis from Biosite Erek-erek Geoforest of Ijen Geopark, Banyuwangi

open access: yesBerkala Sainstek, 2022
The tree ferns abundant in the ecotourism area of the geoforest erek-erek biosite is represented as ancient plants. However, species list and their composition as diversity richness data is still lacking the in the conservation area.

TREE-FERNS OF THE GENUS CYATHEA IN JAVA

open access: yesReinwardtia, 2015
A full taxonomic study of the genus Cyathea has recently been publish-ed in Flora Malesiana (Ser. II, vol. 1, part 2, Dec. 1963). In that work thegenus is construed in a broad sense, to include Alsophila and Hemitelia(also Gymnosphaera and Schizocaena of

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

An Open and Continuously Updated Fern Tree of Life

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
1 Abstract 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 sequences from nearly half of all species.

How early ferns became trees [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2001
A new anatomically preserved fern, discovered from the basalmost Carboniferous of Australia, shows a unique combination of very primitive anatomical characters (solid centrarch cauline protostele) with the elaboration of an original model of the arborescent habit.

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

open access: yesBMC 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.
