Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Filmy fern richness was greatest in Central America, South America, and Southeast Asia.
- Association Filmy ferns preferred moist, warm habitats.
- Association Topography, climate, and forest cover jointly determined filmy fern richness patterns.
- Association Soil had a minimal relationship with epiphytic ferns.
- Association Solar radiation weakly predicted global diversity patterns of filmy ferns.
- Observation Hymenophylloid and trichomanoid lineages may differ ecologically.
- Mechanism Historical adaptation and unsuitable habitats may explain low filmy fern diversity in the Pan-Himalayan region.
