Summary: A molecular phylogenetic analysis of the Japanese apogamous fern Dryopteris yakusilvicola and related species revealed that its origin is not a hybrid between D. sparsa var. sparsa and D. sabaei, but likely involves undetected species closely related to D. melanocarpa var. elegans and D. sabaei. Further analysis of additional species in the D. sparsa complex and more nuclear markers are needed to clarify the relationships within this complex.

Summary: Dryopteris wulingshanensis, a new species found in the Wulingshan Mountains of Hunan, China, is most similar to D. jishouensis and D. gymnophylla in morphological traits, but differs in certain characteristics. Molecular phylogenetic analysis suggests that D. wulingshanensis is closely related to D. jishouensis. Due to its limited geographic range and small populations, it should be considered endangered according to the IUCN Red List criteria.

Summary: Dryopteris lijianxiuii X. J. Li, a new species from Shandong, China, is described and illustrated in this study. It shares morphological similarities with D. lacera but differs in several characters, such as the shape of leaves and location of sori. The new species is characterized by LM and SEM studies of spore and fronds, compared with D. lacera and illustrated with photographs.

Summary: Through further study on the fossil fern species Cretacifilix fungiformis from mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber from Myanmar, researchers found that it should be assigned to the family Dryopteridaceae within the Polypodiineae and has morphological similarities to the closely related genera Arachniodes and Dryopteris.

Summary: A new tetraploid fern species, Dryopteris sukungiana, is described and illustrated in Southwest China. It belongs to the D. sparsa complex but is unique in its blackish brown scales on the stipe, glandular hairs, and small fibrillose scales on the abaxial surface of the lamina. Phylogenetic analyses reveal that D. sukungiana is a hybrid species with the Sino-Himalayan D. sparsa as its paternal parent and an undetected diploid species closely related to the Sino-Japanese D. sparsa as its maternal parent.

Summary: The availability of complete gene sets from different organisms allows for identification of unique or lost genes in specific clades. Through simulation, it has been shown that errors in predicting orthologs increase with higher rates of evolution. Empirical data findings are closely replicated by simulated data with errors, suggesting downstream analyses should consider the impact of orthology prediction errors on gene evolution patterns.

Summary: As genetic sequencing and real-time pipelines become more prevalent, the ability to automatically conduct quality control checks on phylogenetic analyses is becoming increasingly important. Phytest is a tool that automates quality control checks on sequences, trees, and metadata during phylogenetic analyses and easily integrates into existing pipelines.

Summary: Ferns gametophytes, as one of the simplest autotrophic, multicellular plant forms, have been studied through proteomic analysis, in which 417 proteins shared by gametophytes of two species of ferns were identified. These proteins are involved in various cellular activities, such as growth, reproduction, phytohormone signaling, biosynthesis, and gene expression. Additionally, proteins associated with biotic and abiotic stress responses were also identified, providing insights into the adaptations of ferns to their environment.

Summary: This article provides a synopsis of the exindusiate species of Dryopteris found in the area of the Flore d'Afrique Centrale (D.R.Congo, Rwanda, Burundi). There are three species in the area, including a newly described species called Dryopteris schizopaleata sp. nov. This new species is characterized by broadly ovate stipe scales with a fimbriate apex, divided into long uniseriate, irregular fissures, and the absence of glands. D. manniana is recorded in D.R.Congo, Rwanda, and Burundi, while D. ruwenzoriensis occurs in the Ruwenzori mountains in Eastern D.R.Congo, Western Uganda, and the Virunga Volcanoes in Eastern D.R.Congo and Rwanda. The article also includes a key to identify the three species.

Summary: This study aims to understand the factors contributing to the spatial heterogeneity of species diversity, particularly in ferns. By integrating species occurrence records, phylogenetic data, and climate layers, the research identifies hotspots of fern species richness and endemism, with tropical and subtropical mountains standing out as key regions. High environmental heterogeneity regions are found to harbor a disproportionate amount of fern species, with total species richness linearly scaling with available climate space.

Summary: The study found that ferns with chlorophyllous spores are more adapted to epiphytic and waterlogged habitats, and these species have lower incidences of mycorrhizal associations. Both spore type and mycorrhizal associations appear to play important roles in the radiation of ferns into different habitat types.

Summary: In this study, a molecular phylogenetic revision of hayscented ferns was conducted. The results showed that hayscented ferns are polyphyletic and a new classification was proposed. Three morphologically distinct clades were identified and a new type species was suggested. Additionally, three new genera were discovered: Microlepia, Mucura, and Sitobolium.

Summary: Following a recent phylogenetic study, this review focuses on the circumscription of the grammitid fern genus Oreogrammitis (Polypodiaceae: Grammitidoideae). Three new genera, Calligrammitis, Devolia, and Glabrigrammitis, are proposed to accommodate the three clades resolved outside of the core Oreogrammitis. This study presents the taxonomic treatment and illustrates the morphology of each new genus with a color plate.
