- who: Jarmila Pittermann from the Hochschule Geisenheim University, Germany have published the paper: Geometry, Allometry and Biomechanics of Fern Leaf Petioles: Their Significance for the Evolution of Functional and Ecological Diversity Within the Pteridaceae, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
- what: The aim of this study was to examine the anatomy, and the geometrical and biomechanical contribution of the hypodermal sterome to leaf support across the highly diverse Pteridaceae family of ferns. The final analysis of this study explored the maximum length of the leaf petiole, Lmax, that could sustain a given leaf mass (force, F, kg . . .
