The Indo-Burma Biodiversity Hotspot is renowned for its rich biodiversity,including that of vascular plants.However,the fern diversity and its endemism in this hotspot have not been well understood and so far,the dive...
The amber deposits from the Albian-Cenomanian in Myanmar have emerged as a pivotal source for exceptionally abundant fossil insect fauna since their initial discovery. Recent studies have increasingly focused on eluci...
The fern genus Didymoglossum(Hymenophyllaceae)is not so diverse in Africa with seven species at most.However,its local taxonomy is surprisingly still strongly debated,in particular within the Didymoglossum erosum comp...

Crassulacean acid metabolism(CAM)has high water-use efficiency(WUE)and is widely recognized to have evolved from C3 photosynthesis.Different plant lineages have convergently evolved CAM,but the molecular mechanism tha...
The fern family Polypodiaceae,with over 1600 species,is not only one of the most species-rich families of ferns,but also a major contributor to the vascular epiphytic diversity throughout the tropics.Although the vast...
