On the selective advantage of coloniality in staghorn ferns (Platycerium bifurcatum, Polypodiaceae).

Kevin C Burns1.   

Abstract

The staghorn fern (Platycerium bifurcatum, Polypodiaceae) is an epiphyte from Australasia that displays many life history characteristics commonly associated with eusocial animals. Here, I hypothesize about the selective advantage of living in cooperative groups by comparing the morphological characteristics of colonies to their solitary congeners.
