TL;DR: A modern, comprehensive classification for lycophytes and ferns, down to the genus level, utilizing a community‐based approach, that uses monophyly as the primary criterion for the recognition of taxa, but also aims to preserve existing taxa and circumscriptions that are both widely accepted and consistent with the understanding of pteridophyte phylogeny.

TL;DR: This compilation of ferns and lycophytes in Brazil is an update of the one published in 2010 and shows that the richest phytogeographic domain continues to be in the Atlantic Rainforest which also has the largest number of endemic and threatened species.

TL;DR: The results supported the monophyly of bolbitidoid ferns and of Arthrobotrya, Elaphoglossum, Lomagramma, and Teratophyllum; however, Bolbitis was resolved as polyphyletic.

TL;DR: Diversification among the main clades of the lastreopsid ferns was influenced by climatic and geological changes in the southern hemisphere, and taxonomic recognition of Parapolystichum is warranted to preserve the monophyly of Lastreopsis.

TL;DR: A floristic survey of the pteridophytes from the Vila Velha State Park, Ponta Grossa, Parana, Brazil is presented in this article.
