Under the guidance of faculty adviser Dr. David Barrington,                Ms. Cathy Paris will employ several modern molecular methods                    along with traditional morphological and chromosomal analyses to                assess genetic variability and trends of evolution within the                   geographically widespread complex of Northern Hemisphere maiden-                hair ferns, Adiantum pedatum. The research will measure levels                  of gene differences among the several taxonomic subspecies in                   this complex, and will provide evidence on the likely origins of                the doubled-chromosome races known in Japan and in eastern North                America, and suspected to represent independent, parallel                       occurrences of polyploidy in these ferns. The research provides                 a comprehensive integration of traditional taxonomic studies of                 fern characters with new molecular databases, and focuses upon                  an interesting problem in plant evolution.
