Effects of mesoscale environmental heterogeneity and dispersal limitation on floristic variation in rain forest ferns
1 Field studies to evaluate the roles of environmental variation and random dispersal in explaining variation in the floristic composition of rain forest plants at landscape to regional scales have yet to reach a consensus. Moreover, only one study has focused on scales below 10 km 2 , where the effects of dispersal limitation are expected to be easiest to observe. 2 In the present study, we es...
متن کاملHow early ferns became trees.
A new anatomically preserved fern, discovered from the basalmost Carboniferous of Australia, shows a unique combination of very primitive anatomical characters (solid centrarch cauline protostele) with the elaboration of an original model of the arborescent habit. This plant possessed a false trunk composed of a repetitive branching system of very small stems, which established it as the oldest...
متن کاملTypes of Foliar Dichotomy in Living Ferns
LEAVES OF CERTAIN ferns are commonly cited as "primitive" on the general theory that they have retained dichotomy of the major vascular axes of the leaf from ancient psilophyte ancestors (Zimmermann, in Verdoorn, 1938; Lam, 1948). The present study suggests a re-interpretation to be based on comparisons with ordinary fern leaves, "pinnate" in the arrangement of their main veins. The term "folia...
متن کاملMaidenhair Ferns, Adiantum, are Indeed Monophyletic and Sister to Shoestring Ferns, Vittarioids (Pteridaceae)
Across the tree of life, molecular phylogenetic studies often reveal surprising relationships between taxa with radically different morphologies that have long obscured their close affiliations. A spectacular botanical example is Rafflesia, a holoparasite that produces the largest flowers in the world, but that evolved from tiny-flowered ancestors within the Euphorbiaceae. Outside of parasitic ...
متن کامل: metadiscourse in introduction sections of applied linguistics and physics research articles: exploring variation in frequency and type
abstract in written mode of language, metadiscourse markers are used commonly to help writers in general and academic writers in particular to produce coherent and professional texts. the purpose of the present study was to compare introduction sections of applied linguistics and physics articles regarding their use of interactive and interactional metadiscourse markers based on the model pro...
