New publication! Polyploid goldback and silverback ferns (Pentagramma) occupy a wider, colder, and wetter bioclimatic niche than diploid counterparts

Another publication with the collaboration of the FLOWer Lab, this time on the ecology and evolution of ferns!
This scientific article by long-time FLOWer Lab collaborator Keir Wefferling was published in the American Journal of Botany, with contributions from Mariana Castro, Sílvia Castro and João Loureiro, among other authors.
With cover honours, this article entitled ‘Polyploid goldback and silverback ferns (Pentagramma) occupy a wider, colder, and wetter bioclimatic niche than diploid counterparts’ assessed the diversity, distribution and ecological niches of various species of the genus Pentagramna, which differ in their ploidy levels.
