This review shows a close biogeographic connection between eastern Asia and western
North America from the late Cretaceous to the late Neogene in major lineages of vascular …

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

• 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 …

This paper reviews 31 groups in ferns and lycophytes hypothesized to show eastern Asian–
North American disjunctions. Fourteen lineages have been supported by recent …

The polygrammoid fern family Polypodiaceae represents one of the most diversified
epiphytic fern groups, with more than 1600 species distributed on all continents except …

The emergence of angiosperm-dominated tropical forests in the Cretaceous led to major
shifts in the composition of biodiversity on Earth. Among these was the rise to prominence of …

The fern family Polypodiaceae, with over 1600 species, is not only one of the most species‐
rich families of ferns, but also a major contributor to the vascular epiphytic diversity …

Like many fern lineages comprising reticulate species complexes, Polypodium ss
(Polypodiacaeae) has a history shaped by rapid diversification, hybridization, and polyploidy …

• Premise of the study: Many polyploid species are composed of distinct lineages originating
from multiple, independent polyploidization events. In the case of allopolyploids, reciprocal …

Abstract Lepisoroid ferns (tribe Lepisoreae, Polypodiaceae) are arguably one of the most
confusing fern groups in Polypodiaceae in terms of delimitation of genera largely because of …
