Abstract

In this review, we report on the most important ideas and features in the field of fern evolution, with particular interest into the main evolutionary mechanisms that shaped the evolutionary history of their diversification. An exhaustive account for the bibliographical corpus on the matter falls beyond the space and extent of this work; instead, we will try to focus the different issues by including featured examples from both historical and recent approaches to the study of the evolutionary mechanisms in ferns
