Continental scale patterns and predictors of fern richness and phylogenetic diversity

Continental scale patterns and predictors of fern richness and phylogenetic diversity

Because ferns have a wide range of habitat preferences and are widely distributed, they are an ideal group for understanding how diversity is distributed. Here we examine fern diversity on a broad-scale using standard and corrected richness measures as well as phylogenetic indices; in addition we de...
