Phylogeny and relationships of the neotropical Adiantum raddianum group (Pteridaceae)
(Taxon, 2016-12-01)© International Association for Plant Taxonomy (IAPT) 2016. With more than 200 species, the maidenhair fern genus Adiantum is among the top ten most diverse fern genera. Adiantum is pantropical in distribution and, due to ... -
Phylogeny, divergence time estimates, and phylogeography of the diploid species of the polypodium vulgare complex (Polypodiaceae)
(Systematic Botany, 2014-01-01)© 2014 by the American Society of Plant Taxonomists. The Polypodium vulgare complex (Polypodiaceae) comprises a well-studied group of fern taxa whose members are cryptically differentiated morphologically and have generated ... -
Plastid atpA data provide improved support for deep relationships among ferns
(Taxon, 2006-01-01)DNA sequence data and phylogenetic approaches have contributed greatly to our understanding of fern relationships. Nonetheless, the datasets analyzed to date have not been sufficient to definitively resolve all parts of ... -

Species relationships and farina evolution in the cheilanthoid fern genus Argyrochosma (Pteridaceae)
(Systematic Botany, 2011-07-01)Convergent evolution driven by adaptation to arid habitats has made it difficult to identify monophyletic taxa in the cheilanthoid ferns. Dependence on distinctive, but potentially homoplastic characters, to define major ... -
Stem taxa, homoplasy, long lineages, and the phylogenetic position of Dolichocebus

The paraphyly of Osmunda is confirmed by phylogenetic analyses of seven plastid loci
(Systematic Botany, 2008-03-01)To resolve phylogenetic relationships among all genera and subgenera in Osmundaceae, we analyzed over 8,500 characters of DNA sequence data from seven plastid loci (atpA, rbcL, rbcL-accD, rbcL-atpB, rps4-trnS, trnG-trnR, ... -

The utility of nuclear gapCp in resolving polyploid fern origins
(Systematic Botany, 2008-10-01)Although polyploidy is rampant in ferns and plays a major role in shaping their diversity, the evolutionary history of many polyploid species remains poorly understood. Nuclear DNA sequences can provide valuable information ... -
Toward a monophyletic Notholaena (Pteridaceae): Resolving patterns of evolutionary convergence in xeric-adapted ferns
(Taxon, 2008-01-01)Cheilanthoid ferns (Pteridaceae) are a diverse and ecologically important clade, unusual among ferns for their ability to colonize and diversify within xeric habitats. These extreme habitats are thought to drive the extensive ...
