Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 106:11200-5. 2009..g., climate change) remains to be determined. In either case, it is clear that in both the Cretaceous and Cenozoic, leptosporangiate ferns were adept at exploiting newly created niches in angiosperm-dominated ecosystems... - rbcL and matK earn two thumbs up as the core DNA barcode for fernsFay Wei Li

Department of Biology, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina 27708, USA
Evolution 65:3217-29. 2011..Although the confounding association between asexuality and polyploidy precludes definite conclusions regarding the effect of asexuality, our results suggest that asexuality limits evolutionary potential in Astrolepis... - A molecular phylogeny of scaly tree ferns (Cyatheaceae)Petra Korall

Am J Bot 94:873-86. 2007..capensis. Scaly tree ferns display a wide range of indusial structures, and although indusium shape is homoplastic it does contain useful phylogenetic information that supports some of the larger clades recognised... - Abrupt deceleration of molecular evolution linked to the origin of arborescence in fernsPetra Korall
Department of Biology, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708, USA
Evolution 64:2786-92. 2010..Discriminating among the possibilities will require contributions from various biological disciplines,but will be necessary for a full appreciation of molecular evolution... - Ferns diversified in the shadow of angiospermsHarald Schneider

Department of Biology, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina 27708, USA
Syst Biol 55:485-502. 2006..Further analysis suggests that this may be due to a genome-wide deceleration in the rate of nucleotide substitution... - The evolution of chloroplast genes and genomes in fernsPaul G Wolf
Department of Biology, Utah State University, Logan, UT, USA
Plant Mol Biol 76:251-61. 2011..We also explore global nucleotide substitution patterns in ferns versus those found in seed plants across plastid genes, and we review the high levels of RNA editing observed in fern plastomes... - DNA barcoding exposes a case of mistaken identity in the fern horticultural tradeKathleen M Pryer

Department of Biology, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708, USA
Mol Phylogenet Evol 39:830-45. 2006..Our results show that Dicksoniaceae and Cyatheaceae, as currently recognised, are not monophyletic and new circumscriptions for these families are needed... - Deciphering the origins of apomictic polyploids in the Cheilanthes yavapensis complex (Pteridaceae)Amanda L Grusz
Department of Biology, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina 27708 0338 USA
Am J Bot 96:1636-45. 2009..We show that earlier morphology-based hypotheses of species relationships, while not altogether incorrect, only partially explain the complicated evolutionary history of these ferns... - Incongruence between primary sequence data and the distribution of a mitochondrial atp1 group II intron among ferns and horsetailsNiklas Wikström
