Pteridaceae

• 

  Subject Areas on Research

  • A molecular phylogeny of the fern family Pteridaceae: assessing overall relationships and the affinities of previously unsampled genera. 
  • Do asexual polyploid lineages lead short evolutionary lives? A case study from the fern genus Astrolepis. 
  • Identifying multiple origins of polyploid taxa: a multilocus study of the hybrid cloak fern (Astrolepis integerrima; Pteridaceae). 
  • Infraspecific diversification of the star cloak fern (Notholaena standleyi) in the deserts of the United States and Mexico. 
  • Low-copy nuclear sequence data confirm complex patterns of farina evolution in notholaenid ferns (Pteridaceae). 
  • rbcL and matK earn two thumbs up as the core DNA barcode for ferns.
