Phylogeny has long informed pteridophyte classification. As our ability to infer evolutionary
trees has improved, classifications aimed at recognizing natural groups have become …

Throughout the history of the classification of extant ferns (monilophytes) and lycophytes,
familial and generic concepts have been in great flux. For the organisation of lycophytes and …

石松类和蕨类植物是以孢子繁殖的维管植物, 在陆地植物演化上占据重要地位.

Aims: Making an inventory of the diversity of Chinese higher plants is an important
component of the “Catalogue of Life China” project, which aims to annually update the …

We examined the global historical biogeography of grammitid ferns (Polypodiaceae) within
a phylogenetic context. We inferred phylogenetic relationships of 190 species representing …

The polygrammoid fern family Polypodiaceae represents one of the most diversified
epiphytic fern groups, with more than 1600 species distributed on all continents except …

Background The rise of high mountain chains is widely seen as one of the factors driving
rapid diversification of land plants and the formation of biodiversity hotspots. Supporting …

The polygrammoids (Polypodiaceae) are the most species‐rich and diversified epiphytic
fern lineages, and hold an important role to understand the deep diverging events and rapid …

Recent evidence from morphological, cytological, and gene sequencing studies has
provided several additional evidence that the genus Pleopeltis (Polypodiaceae) requires …

The fern genus Lepisorus represents one of the most complicated and controversial
lineages in Polypodiaceae, with about 80 species which have been classified into several …
