Introduction. Following on from work on the European bryophyte Red List, the taxonomically
and nomenclaturally updated spreadsheets used for that project have been expanded into a …

Mosses (division Bryophyta) are characterized by the dominance of haploid, poikilohydric
gametophytes, and relatively persistent sporophytes that are dependent on the gametophyte …

Cryptic bryophyte species exhibit a decoupling in the degree of morphological and
molecular divergence, as a result of different processes, from recent divergence to stasis …

Aim Mounting evidence suggests that failure of species distribution models to integrate local
adaptation hinders our ability to predict distribution ranges, raising the question of whether …

Broad morphological variation and a complex taxonomic history suggest that Orthotrichum
consimile, an epiphytic moss known from oceanic forests of western North America and …

Introduction We report the results of an international bryological expedition to the Khamar-
Daban mountain range in Russian southern Siberia. The novel approach of integrative …

Background Lejeunea is a largely epiphytic, subcosmopolitan liverwort genus with a
complex taxonomic history. Species circumscriptions and their relationships are subject to …

The strikingly lower number of bryophyte species, and in particular of endemic species, and
their larger distribution ranges in comparison with angiosperms, have traditionally been …

Lichens are major components of high altitude/latitude ecosystems. However, accurately
characterizing their biodiversity is challenging because these regions and habitats are often …

Phylogenetic analyses within the moss Homalothecium sericeum resolved two clades and
four haplotypes in a polytomy. Because the clades and the four haplotypes as one group …
