The Lejeunea tumida species group is positively polyphyletic (Lejeuneaceae: Jungermanniopsida)
A phylogeny based on nrITS1 and trnL–F sequences resolves the Lejeunea tumida species group polyphyletic with individuals belonging in two clades either side of the basal-most node within Lejeunea.

Two new species of Acromastigum (Lepidoziaceae: Jungermanniopsida) from Queensland, Australia
As a result of fieldwork on Cape York Peninsula, and ongoing revision of type specimens in lieu of the recent revision of Australian Acromastigum, two new species are described.

(Jungermanniopsida: Porellales): Ocelli allow the recognition of two neglected species
AbstractLepidolejeunea is a largely epiphytic, pantropical genus of leafy liverworts. While the phylogenetic position of Lepidolejeunea has been the subject of recent molecular investigations, the relationships within this genus have been little studied.

The phylogenetically isolated leafy liverwort genus Radula comprises similar to 200 extant species and has a near worldwide distribution. Most species are obligate or facultative epiphytes on tree bark or leaves in humid, tropical or warm-temperate ...

Comparative Analysis of Four Calypogeia Species Revealed Unexpected Change in Evolutionarily-Stable Liverwort Mitogenomes. [PDF]
Liverwort mitogenomes are considered to be evolutionarily stable. A comparative analysis of four Calypogeia species revealed differences compared to previously sequenced liverwort mitogenomes. Such differences involve unexpected structural changes in the

Abstract Premise Bryophytes form a major component of terrestrial plant biomass, structuring ecological communities in all biomes. Our understanding of the evolutionary history of hornworts, liverworts, and mosses has been significantly reshaped by inferences from molecular data, which have highlighted extensive homoplasy in various traits and repeated

crabs—A software program to generate curated reference databases for metabarcoding sequencing data
Abstract The measurement of biodiversity is an integral aspect of life science research. With the establishment of second‐ and third‐generation sequencing technologies, an increasing amount of metabarcoding data is being generated as we seek to describe the extent and patterns of biodiversity in multiple contexts.

Metabarcoding of soil environmental DNA replicates plant community variation but not specificity
While metabarcoding of plant DNA from their environment is an exciting method that can supplement inventorying of live plant species, the accuracy and specificity has yet to be fully assessed over complex continuous landscapes. This work shows that the metabarcoding of plant DNA from soil produces community profiles that are comparable to a ...

Macroclimatic structuring of spatial phylogenetic turnover in liverworts
Phylogenetic turnover has emerged as a powerful tool to identify the mechanisms by which biological communities assemble. When significantly structured along environmental gradients, phylogenetic turnover evidences phylogenetic niche conservatism, a critical principle explaining patterns of species distributions at different spatio–temporal scales ...
