  • Effects of Nutrient Limitation on Understory Communities in a Tropical Forest
    EFFECTS OF NUTRIENT LIMITATION ON UNDERSTORY COMMUNITIES IN A TROPICAL FOREST BY JÉSSICA LIRA VIANA DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Plant Biology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2020 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor James W. Dalling, Chair Associate Professor Anthony Yannarell Associate Professor Jennifer Fraterrigo Associate Professor Wendy Yang ABSTRACT Ferns are the second most diverse group of vascular plants whose diversity and abundance peak in mid-elevation tropical forests. Soil nutrient limitation is an important factor influencing plant communities and yet little is known about the factors influencing fern floristic composition and functional traits in montane tropical forests. My dissertation compares composition variation and decay-rates between terrestrial ferns and understory palms, since the extent to which their resource needs overlap has not been determined. Furthermore, ferns and palms are two essential components of forest understories that differ widely in physiology and reproductive traits, while competing for the same limited resources. I found that soil factors impacted compositional similarity of both ferns and palms, with fern compositional variation related to total soil nitrogen to phosphorus ratio (soil N:P) and light conditions (red:far read – RFR) and palm compositional variation related to bulk density. Distance–decay rates in compositional similarity were slightly higher for palms than ferns. In addition, the abundance of understory palms and tree ferns showed opposite trends with soil N:P and RFR compared to herbaceous ferns. I also analyzed the responses of functional composition and functional dispersion to soil and precipitation gradients, to determine to what degree environmental factors influence trait distribution and diversity of fern communities across their phylogeny.

Compared to seed plants, the diversity patterns of ferns have been poorly studied along disturbance gradients, including aspects of their taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity. Longnan County, a biodiversity hotspot in the subtropical zone in South China, was selected to obtain a more thorough picture of the fern–disturbance relationship, in particular, the taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity of ferns at different levels of disturbance. In 90 sample plots of 5 5 m2 along roadsides × at three sites, we recorded a total of 20 families, 50 genera, and 99 species of ferns, as well as 9759 individual ferns. The sample coverage curve indicated that the sampling effort was sufficient for biodiversity analysis. In general, the taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity measured by Hill numbers of order q = 0–3 indicated that the fern diversity in Longnan County was largely influenced by the level of human disturbance, which supports the ‘increasing disturbance hypothesis’.

We have now studied the evolutionary history of the Lindsaeaceae by simultaneously optimizing 55 morphological characters, two plastid genes (rpoC1 and rps4) and three non-coding plastid intergenic spacers (trnL-F, rps4-trnS and trnH-psbA). Our data set included all genera associated with Lindsaeaceae, except Xyropteris, and c. 73% of the currently accepted species. The phylogenetic relationships of the lindsaeoid ferns with two enigmatic genera that have recently been included in the Lindsae- aceae, Cystodium and Lonchitis, remain ambiguous. Within the monophyletic lindsaeoids, we found six well- supported and diagnostic clades that can be recognized as genera: Sphenomeris, Odontosoria, Osmolindsaea, Nesolindsaea, Tapeinidium and Lindsaea. Sphenomeris was shown to be monotypic; most taxa formerly placed in that genus belong to the Odontosoria clade. Ormoloma is embedded within Lindsaea and therefore does not merit recognition as a genus. Tapeinidium is sister to a clade with some species formerly placed in Lindsaea that are morphologically distinct from that genus and are transferred to Osmolindsaea and Nesolindsaea, proposed here as two new genera.

  • Fern Classification
    16 Fern classification ALAN R. SMITH, KATHLEEN M. PRYER, ERIC SCHUETTPELZ, PETRA KORALL, HARALD SCHNEIDER, AND PAUL G. WOLF 16.1 Introduction and historical summary / 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 used classifications, some intended primar• ily as herbarium (filing) schemes, are summarized in Table 16.1, and include: Christensen (1938), Copeland (1947), Holttum (1947, 1949), Nayar (1970), Bierhorst (1971), Crabbe et al. (1975), Pichi Sermolli (1977), Ching (1978), Tryon and Tryon (1982), Kramer (in Kubitzki, 1990), Hennipman (1996), and Stevenson and Loconte (1996). Other classifications or trees implying relationships, some with a regional focus, include Bower (1926), Ching (1940), Dickason (1946), Wagner (1969), Tagawa and Iwatsuki (1972), Holttum (1973), and Mickel (1974). Tryon (1952) and Pichi Sermolli (1973) reviewed and reproduced many of these and still earlier classifica• tions, and Pichi Sermolli (1970, 1981, 1982, 1986) also summarized information on family names of ferns. Smith (1996) provided a summary and discussion of recent classifications. With the advent of cladistic methods and molecular sequencing techniques, there has been an increased interest in classifications reflecting evolutionary relationships. Phylogenetic studies robustly support a basal dichotomy within vascular plants, separating the lycophytes (less than 1 % of extant vascular plants) from the euphyllophytes (Figure 16.l; Raubeson and Jansen, 1992, Kenrick and Crane, 1997; Pryer et al., 2001a, 2004a, 2004b; Qiu et al., 2006). Living euphyl• lophytes, in turn, comprise two major clades: spermatophytes (seed plants), which are in excess of 260 000 species (Thorne, 2002; Scotland and Wortley, Biology and Evolution of Ferns and Lycopliytes, ed.

Comprising over 2500 species, the composition and particularly the relationships among the major clades of this group have historically been contentious and defied phylogenetic resolution until very recently. Our classification reflects the most current available data, largely derived from published molecular phylogenetic studies.

Ferns I: The Marattiales and Vegetative Features of the Polypodiids We now take up the ferns, order Marattiales - a group of large tropical ferns with primitive features - and subclass Polypodiidae, the leptosporangiate ferns. (See the PPG phylogeny on page 48a: Susan, Dave, and Michael, are authors.) Members of these two groups are spore-dispersed vascular plants with siphonosteles and megaphylls. A. Marattiales, an Order of Eusporangiate Ferns The Marattiales have a well-documented history. They first appear as tree ferns in the coal swamps right in there with Lepidodendron and Calamites. (They will feature in your second critical reading and writing assignment in this capacity!) The living species are prominent in some hot forests, both in tropical America and tropical Asia. They are very like the leptosporangiate ferns (Polypodiids), but they differ in having the common, primitive, thick-walled sporangium, the eusporangium, and in having a distinctive stele and root structure. 1. Living Plants Go with your TA to the greenhouse to view the potted Angiopteris. The largest of the Marattiales, mature Angiopteris plants bear fronds up to 30 feet in length! a.These plants, like all ferns, have megaphylls. These megaphylls are divided into leaflets called pinnae, which are often divided even further. The feather-like design of these leaves is common among the ferns, suggesting that ferns have some sort of narrow definition to the kinds of leaf design they can evolve. b. The leaflets are borne on stem-like axes called rachises, which, as you can see, have swollen bases on some of the plants in the lab.

  • On the Phylogenetic Position of Cystodium: It's Not a Tree Fern – It's a Polypod!
    American Fern Journal 96(2):45–53 (2006) On the Phylogenetic Position of Cystodium: It’s Not a Tree Fern – It’s a Polypod! 1 PETRA KORALL Department of Biology, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708, USA, and Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm, Sweden DAVID S.

PRYER Department of Biology, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708, USA ABSTRACT.—The phylogenetic position of Cystodium J. Sm. is studied here for the first time using DNA sequence data. Based on a broad sampling of leptosporangiate ferns and two plastid genes (rbcL and atpB), we show that Cystodium does not belong to the tree fern family Dicksoniaceae, as previously thought. Our results strongly support including Cystodium within the large polypod clade, and suggest its close relationship to the species-poor grade taxa at the base of the polypod topology (Sphenomeris and Lonchitis,orSaccoloma in this study). Further studies, with an expanded taxon sampling within polypods, are needed to fully understand the more precise phylogenetic relationships of Cystodium. Cystodium J. Sm., with its single species C. sorbifolium (Sm.) J. Sm., has traditionally been included in Dicksoniaceae (Christensen, 1938; Pichi Sermolli, 1977; Tryon and Tryon, 1982; Kramer, 1990; Stevenson and Loconte, 1996) and, more specifically, has been considered to be closely related to Dicksonia L’He´r.
