Characterization of the satellitome in lower vascular plants: the case of the endangered fern Vandenboschia speciosa
Vandenboschia speciosa is a highly vulnerable fern species, with a large genome (10.5 Gb). Haploid gametophytes and diploid sporophytes are perennial, can reproduce vegetatively, and certain populations are composed...

Conserved thermal performance curves across the geographic range of a gametophytic fern
Species-level responses to environmental change depend on the collective responses of their constituent populations and the degree to which these populations are specialized to local conditions. Thermal tolerance limits...
Brilliant bird-brained bryophyte diaspore diaspora…
There is an ancient and time-honoured association – maybe co-evolution even – between birds and flowering plants, e.g. in respect of pollination and dispersal of the fruits/seeds of the latter by the former. Now, at the...
