Deciphering the origins of apomictic polyploids in the Cheilanthes yavapensis complex (Pteridaceae).
(American journal of botany, 2009-09)Deciphering species relationships and hybrid origins in polyploid agamic species complexes is notoriously difficult. In this study of cheilanthoid ferns, we demonstrate increased resolving power for clarifying the origins ... -
DNA barcoding exposes a case of mistaken identity in the fern horticultural trade.
(Molecular ecology resources, 2010-11)Using cheilanthoid ferns, we provide an example of how DNA barcoding approaches can be useful to the horticultural community for keeping plants in the trade accurately identified. We use plastid rbcL, atpA, and trnG-R sequence ... -
Patterns of diversification in the xeric-adapted fern genus myriopteris (Pteridaceae)
(Systematic Botany, 2014-01-01)Strong selective pressures imposed by drought-prone habitats have contributed to extensive morphological convergence among the 400 + species of cheilanthoid ferns (Pteridaceae). As a result, generic circumscriptions based ...
