Abstract Background and Aims Throughout the history of fern classification, familial and
generic concepts have been highly labile. Many classifications and evolutionary schemes …

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

Species distribution models (SDMs) trained on presence-only data are frequently used in
ecological research and conservation planning. However, users of SDM software are faced …

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 …

We present a revised classification for extant ferns, with emphasis on ordinal and familial
ranks, and a synopsis of included genera. Our classification reflects recently published …

In an effort to obtain a solid and balanced approximation of global fern phylogeny to serve
as a tool for addressing large‐scale evolutionary questions, we assembled and analyzed …

Premise of research. Ferns (monilophytes) and lycophytes are unique among land plants in
having two independent life stages: the gametophyte generation, which is generally small …

• Premise of the study: Understanding fern (monilophyte) phylogeny and its evolutionary
timescale is critical for broad investigations of the evolution of land plants, and for providing …

We present a family–level classification for the eupolypod II clade of leptosporangiate ferns,
one of the two major lineages within the Eupolypods, and one of the few parts of the fern tree …

Over the past 70 years, many fern classifications, nearly all based on morphology, most
explicitly or implicitly phylogenetic, have been proposed. The most complete and commonly …
