Search Results - Fern

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

A fern is any one of a group of about 20,000 species of plants classified in the phylum or division Pteridophyta, also known as Filicophyta. The group is also referred to as Polypodiophyta, or Polypodiopsida when treated as a subdivision of tracheophyta (vascular plants). The study of ferns and other pteridophytes is called pteridology, and one who studies ferns and other pteridophytes is called a pteridologist. The term "pteridophyte" has traditionally been used to describe all seedless vascular plants, making it synonymous with "ferns and fern allies". This can be confusing since members of the fern phylum Pteridophyta are also sometimes referred to as pteridophytes.

Ferns are vascular plants differing from the more primitive lycophytes by having true leaves (megaphylls), and they differ from seed plants (gymnosperms and angiosperms) in their mode of reproduction — lacking flowers and seeds. Like all other vascular plants, they have a life cycle referred to as alternation of generations, characterized by a diploid sporophytic and a haploid gametophytic phase. Unlike the gymnosperms and angiosperms, the ferns' gametophyte is a free-living organism. The life cycle of a typical fern is as follows

The stereotypic image of ferns growing in moist shady woodland nooks is far from being a complete picture of the habitats where ferns can be found growing. Fern species live in a wide variety of habitats, from remote mountain elevations, to dry desert rock faces, to bodies of water or in open fields. Ferns in general may be thought of as largely being specialists in marginal habitats, often succeeding in places where various environmental factors limit the success of flowering plants. Some ferns are among the world's most serious weed species, including the bracken fern growing in the British highlands, or the mosquito fern (Azolla) growing in tropical lakes, both species form large aggressively spreading colonies. There are four particular types of habitats that ferns are found in moist, shady forests; crevices in rock faces, especially when sheltered from the full sun; acid wetlands including bogs and swamps; and tropical trees, where many species are epiphytes.

Many ferns depend on associations with mycorrhizal fungi. Many ferns only grow within specific pH ranges; for instance, the climbing fern (Lygodium) of eastern North America will only grow in moist, intensely acid soils, while the bulblet bladder fern (Cystopteris bulbifera), with an overlapping range, is only ever found on limestone.

2. Tulum, Surely a Slice of Paradise
November 18, 2008

We were like kids, definitely having a blast. Tulum has one of the most beautiful powder beaches we’ve ever seen. It was a surprise to find this piece of partly-undiscovered paradise. The white sand beach was never really crowded. This is the place where one should go if looking for the perfect retreat from modern city life. Tulum offers a mixture of serenity, relaxation, and solitude, but still you’ll have the opportunity to fill your days with exciting and fun activities. The ocean was breathtaking .One can easily bike around, which is very convenient to get around town. But just please... (read more)

3. Insurance For Your Pig
November 10, 2008

There have been lots of books written about dogs like Old Yeller and Where the Red Fern Grows, Black Beauty is every girls dream horse after his memoirs were so cleverly translated, and a recent string of mystery novels featuring sleuthing cats have earned felines a place in the literary annals. Considering that isn't it interesting that some of the animal characters most people seem to remember the best are pigs. When book lovers think of pigs they smile as they remember the sweet innocence of Wilbur as he strutted around the barnyard, or they shudder with delicious distaste as they think abo... (read more)

5. Therapy in Visiting Tulum, Mexico
October 30, 2008

I had never originally been to Mexico, having traveled throughout Central America, to Belize and Nicaragua and Guatemala and Panama. But the recent hype of a small, luscious beach called Tulum peaked my interest when, paging through the most recent issue of Conde Nast, I came across a small write-up, citing the weather, hotels, and cultural aspect to be world class. I am an avid traveler, having visited both the traditional and the exotic. My journeys started throughout the customary hotspots of Europe and eventually segued into Southeast Asia and Latin America where I got a real taste fo... (read more)

6. Tulum Nightlife Attracts Varied Crowds
October 30, 2008

We cracked the shutters to let the beautiful Caribbean sun into the bedroom. It was somewhere around ten in the morning after a long night of watermelon margaritas and beach tunes at Mezzanine club in Tulum, Mexico, that we realized where we wanted to spend the rest of our lives. My wife and I are music lovers at heart. We hail from New York City and, while there’s no lack of musical inspiration here, find ourselves traveling to the edges of the globe in search of more. We found Tulum by accident, having gotten lost on our way to Mexico City, and looking back on it, we may have made the ... (read more)

7. Ultra-Luxury Travel in Tulum, Mexico
October 20, 2008

From 2005 to 2006, international travel increased by 8%. In that same time period, the niche sector of luxury international travel increased by 10%: showing the presence of high-end travel destinations over traditional mainstream hotspots. It’s an industry that made a name for itself in the middle of the century, with improvements in transportation complimented by increased curiosity for the foreign. Packaged deals offered all-inclusive packages to Central America, South America, Europe, and in some cases Africa, offering well-to-do Americans the chance to look, if for just a few days, i...

8. Searching for Dinner in Tulum, Mexico
October 20, 2008

I recently visited Tulum, Mexico with my family and in search of a good restaurant came across several situated on the beach. While one looked to be spectacular, they did not allow children so we went in search of a babysitter for our little one Ricardo. Back when my brother and I were both less than ten years old, a big mistake was made and our parents left for vacation to Italy. The mistake was not so much that they chose not to take us with them, but rather the person they chose to leave us with-a young woman we'll call Marylyn who, for all we knew, had been hand picked from the botto...

10. Tulum in September
October 02, 2008

Tulum, Mexico is a great place to visit, especially during September when a number of different factors combine to make a great vacation window. If you are considering taking a vacation to Mexico or anywhere else during this time, it’s a good idea to check out what Tulum has to offer as a tropical hideaway. Tulum in September and October is a really special time of year. I suppose because all the schools are back, and the European vacation month of August is over, Tulum becomes empty, like a ghost town of sorts. It is a hot (mid 90's F) and humid time of year and of course it is in the m... (read more)

11. Casco Viejo, Panama From An Architects Point of View
October 02, 2008

Enrique Restrepo, a Panamanian from Veraguas Province originally caught sight of Casco Viejo when writing his graduate thesis, which was published at the time, as arguably the most complete study of this UNESCO World Heritage site to date. He speaks his mind: What initially attracted me to Casco Viejo was not only the architecture, a dream for someone like me, but the feelings of tradition and life that could be felt in Casco Viejo's streets. While studying architecture at university I completed my thesis which later became the data base for the official master plan for Casco Viejo. For ... (read more)

12. Panama: A Haven For European Investors
October 02, 2008

First they came for Levis. Then they came for iPods. Now Europeans are in search of something new and cheap to bring back home and Panama real estate seems to fit the bill. With their options varied and buying power strong, why are Europeans setting their sights on Panama? I was still in school when I tried to smuggle a cured leg of Iberico ham from Spain back into the United States. This type of ham was illegal in my country I knew, but the prospect of sharing the exotic meat with friends and family was quite simply overwhelming. I was in the process of filling out my customs form w... (read more)

13. History of a Saliva Crystallization Test to predict Ovulation
August 11, 2008

Saliva Crystallization test has been around for more then a half a century, and has been used succesfully to predict ovulation. In 1945, Papanicolau first observed ferning (crystal formation) in dried cervical fluid. Further, Dr. Biel Cassals, a Spanish gynecologist, studied the crystallization of saliva. In 1969 Sr. Cassals concluded that the ferning of saliva is virtually identical in appearance to the arborization effect of cervical fluid. Studies were continued internatinally; in 1991, Institute of Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic in Napoli, Italy, M. Guida study achieved a 92 reliabil... (read more)

14. Toy Poodles And Dangers At Home
August 11, 2008

You consider your house as the safest place for your Toy Poodles but sometimes, dangers can be just right within your pet's reach. Unknowingly, the things you are fond of and you consider of great value and use can cause your dog's life. What I am trying to say is that, household items such as antifreeze, household cleaners and detergents as well as household plants such as chrysanthemum, poinsettia, asparagus fern and daffodil are not safe for your dogs. Common household toxins include antifreeze, tylenol (acetaminophen), insecticides, toilet bowl cleaners, bleach, detergents, flea produ... (read more)

15. Why we should take pride in UK flowers
July 13, 2008

Traditional UK flowers incorporate a whole host of flowers grown in the UK. Fragrant arrangements packed with an abundance of freesias and dappled with fern leaves displayed in pretty wicker baskets are a very popular choice which is ideal for sending to people of all ages and give a true English ambience as the room fills with enchanting scents. A modern approach florists use to capture these charming traditional UK flowers include designs which utilise the dexterity of freesias by displaying them in contemporary vases with chunky bases which offers an interesting contrast which compliments m...

16. MaybeMOM: How does Saliva Ovulation Test work
April 20, 2008

Saliva Ovulation Test is based on real science. Sold worldwide since 1990 the original MaybeMOM Mini Ovulation Microscope is backed by clinical studies conducted in Europe and the United States. When a woman ovulates, estrogen hormone levels in her system rise, which also causes the amount of salt in her saliva to increase. Placed on a microscope slide, crystallized salts in dried saliva produce a distinct “fern leaf” pattern if a woman has begun to ovulate. The phenomenon of ferning was first discovered in 1945 by Papanicolau, who observed microscopic crystal formations in cervical flu... (read more)

17. The History of Casco Antiguo (Casco Viejo)
April 20, 2008

In 1673, within two years after the devastating attack by Henry Morgan, Panamá Antigua was relocated west to the present day location of Casco Antiguo. This was done by governor Don Antonio Fernández de Córdoba y Mendoza, on orders of the King of Spain to protect his interests, to what is known today as El Casco Antiguo (also called Casco Viejo) in the district of San Felipe. From 1673 to 1910 the city suffered many changes and influences of architectural style, although it's remains are predominantly neoclassic. Throughout El Casco Antiguo a variety of styles can be appreciated, primaril... (read more)

March 12, 2008

Being curious animals with hearty appetites, Labrador Retrievers usually chew on anything that catches their attention. They might get interested in eating insects or dead animals as well as plants in the garden. Unfortunately, there are some plants in which certain parts are poisonous. There are also plants in which all parts are poisonous. Maybe you are not aware that your favorite asparagus fern contains various poisons that cause vomiting, abdominal pain, cramps and even heart, respiratory and kidney problems.

19. Obama Endorsed by FARRAKHAN: Revealing an anti-white and anti-American bias
March 05, 2008

Is it a big deal that Louis Farrakhan, "the leader of the nation of Islam", endorsed Barack Obama? Perhaps not... until we turn around and look at the church that endorsed Farrakhan with a special award, and the pastor of that church, who publicly shares the same anti-white sentiments as Farrakhan - the very same church that Barack Obama has attended for the past 20 years, sitting under the teaching of that very same pastor... and then it becomes a very big deal.

20. Christianity, without GOD?? (a prophecy from Jerusalem)
January 26, 2008

At a Christian Conference held in Jerusalem in 1986, a word from the LORD came forth, which included this devastating prophecy, presumably from the heart of God: "And there will be Christianity without ME". What? Could we possibly have 'Christianity' but not have God? I'm afraid it is not only possible, but it is already happening - most blatantly in the 'Jesus Only' Oneness Pentecostal churches but even, to a growing degree, throughout much of Christendom. According to the U.S. Center for world missions, the number of people in the world who were "adherents to the Christian religion"... (read more)

21. Barack Obama: I pray to Jesus every night. (Signs of the JESUS-ONLY trend)
January 26, 2008

Following the trend toward Jesus-only religion... Barack Obama stated on national television recently: "I’ve been in the same church for 20 years, PRAYIN’ to JESUS". And later... "I pray to Jesus every night." If it doesn’t really matter whom we worship, or address our prayers, or thank (as the Source) within the Trinity, then why not just worship Jesus, just pray to Jesus (like Barack Obama and many other Christians today) - and just thank Jesus? That was a question on a new game show the other night: "How many of the audience polled said that if t... (read more)

22. Prime Minister to the King: an exercise in Christian logic.
November 03, 2007

First, consider The SOURCE: translated as Abba in our Bibles. The FATHER, from whom the Son and the Spirit eternally proceed. A Trinity, absolutely - but logic tells us that only one member of that Tri-unity is the MOST High, and our Bibles tell us that Jesus is the SON of the Most High, the Son of the FATHER who is, indeed, His SOURCE - His Abba. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- God's Prime Minister, an exercise in logic.

October 26, 2007

Yes, it seems Bill Clinton could come back.

(United Nations). And the Beast, as in 'taking the MARK of the Beast', may be right here among us. Once the mystery of Babylon is solved, the Beast's identity can then be discerned, as can the mark of the beast, as well. We are ... (read more)
