Aim Scaly tree ferns, C yatheaceae, are a well‐supported group of mostly tree‐forming ferns
found throughout the tropics, the subtropics and the south‐temperate zone. Fossil evidence …

Aim Gondwanan vicariance, boreotropical migration and long‐distance dispersal have been
posited as alternative hypotheses explaining the tropical distribution patterns and …

Background and Aims Pteris (Pteridaceae), comprising over 250 species, had been thought
to be a monophyletic genus until the three monotypic genera Neurocallis, Ochropteris and …

Based on a worldwide phylogenetic framework filling the taxonomic gap of Madagascar and
surrounding islands of the Western Indian Ocean (WIO), we revisited the systematics of …

Abstract Background and Aims The staghorn fern genus Platycerium is one of the most
commonly grown ornamental ferns, and it evolved to occupy a typical pantropical …

The Neotropical-African liverwort Marchesinia brachiata has long been regarded as a
polymorphic species. This hypothesis is examined using a dataset including sequences of …

The relationships of the microsoroid ferns were studied using a DNA sequence-based
phylogenetic approach. Nucleotide sequences for up to four chloroplast genome regions …

We inferred the classification of the Paleotropical climbing fern genus Arthropteris and its
close relative Psammiosorus, a monotypic genus endemic to Madagascar. The classification …

The evolutionary history and classification of epiphyllous cryptogams are still poorly known.
Leptolejeunea is a largely epiphyllous pantropical liverwort genus with about 25 species …

Phylogenetic relationships within the paleotropical genus Lepisorus (Polypodiaceae) were
investigated using plastid DNA sequences from four regions: rbcL, rps4 and rps4-trnS IGS …
