Abstract:Southeast Asia is a biodiversity hotspot characterized by a complex
paleogeography, and its Polypodiopsida flora is particularly diverse.
While hybridization is recognized as common in ferns, investigations
into the relationship between hybridization events and fern diversity
are notably lacking. Lecanopteris s.s., an ant-associated fern, has been
subject to debate regarding species delimitations primarily due to
limited DNA markers and species sampling. Our study integrates 22 newly
generated plastomes, 22 tr… Show more
