Aim To assess the range size patterns of ferns and lycophytes along elevational gradients at
different latitudes in an ecographical transition zone and search for predictors of range size …

We provide a synopsis of the 207 species of Dryopteridaceae in 15 genera currently known
from Bolivia. This is the secondmost species-rich fern family in the country and includes the …

• Premise of the study: Closing gaps in the fossil record and elucidating phylogenetic
relationships of mostly incomplete fossils are major challenges in the reconstruction of the …

Although a worldwide phylogeny of the bolbitidoid fern genus Elaphoglossum is now
available, little is known about the phylogenetic position of the 34 Cuban species. We …

In terms of color, fern spores have traditionally been classified as either green or nongreen.
This study reports a new kind of spore, here termed “cryptochlorophyllous.” Such spores …

Premise of research. Spores and pollen often exhibit distinctive morphology, resulting from
the structure of the exine (spore wall), and elaborate external ornamentation, known as …

Taxonomic keys, illustrations, descriptions, synonymy, distribution maps, and an index to
collectors' names and numbers are given for the Neotropical taxa belonging to …

Elaphoglossum is comprised almost entirely of epiphytic species with simple and entire
leaves. Elaphoglossum section Squamipedia is intriguing because four of its species have …

The present paper provides a monograph of Elaphoglossum subsect. Muscosa, a
monophyletic group supported by molecular phylogenetic analyses. The monograph …

This paper provides a monograph of the petiolatum clade of Elaphoglossum Schott ex J. Sm.
sect. Lepidoglossa Christ (Dryopteridaceae). This group has been recovered as …
