- Ferns in an Angiosperm World: Cretaceous Radiation into the Epiphytic Niche and Diversification on the Forest Floor (2012, result): “Contrary to some earlier reports (Page 2002), epiphytic ferns are often the most abundant plants in terms of number and biomass in tropical lowland and montane forest canopies (Cardelús et al. 2006; Watkins et al. 2006a; Cardelús 2007; Kluge et al. 2008; Mandl et al. 2010; Kessler et al. 2011).”
- Rapid demise and recovery of plant ecosystems across the end-Permian extinction event (2010, unknown): “Pteridophytes are known to rapidly colonize disturbed and polluted areas and to resist harmful conditions, potentially fatal to other plants (McElwain and Punyasena, 2007; Page, 2002).”
- FERN COMMUNITY ASSEMBLY: THE ROLES OF CHANCE AND THE ENVIRONMENT AT LOCAL AND INTERMEDIATE SCALES (2005, background): “Given the moisture demands of gametophytes to complete fertilization (Page 2002) and the simple tracheary elements present in most ferns (Sharma 1988), it is not surprising that fern distribution is strongly linked to water regime.”
- Fern species richness along a central Himalayan elevational gradient, Nepal (2004, background): “Poorly controlled evaporative potentials to counter high rates of water loss characterize much of the life cycle of the majority of ferns (Page, 2002).”
- Floral changes across the Triassic/Jurassic boundary linked to flood basalt volcanism (2009, background): “The overwhelming dominance of pteridophytes within the T/J boundary interval is readily explained by their tolerance of stressful habitats, including strongly leached, nutrient-poor or metal-enriched soils, their ability to photosynthesize under low-light conditions, and certain life-cycle traits su”
- Contrasting environmental and regional effects on global pteridophyte and seed plant diversity. (2010, background): “However, pteridophytes and seed plants (gymnosperms and angiosperms) show major differences in their morphology, ecophysiology, and reproductive biology (Page 2002).”
