Cheilolejeunea zhui (Lejeuneaceae, Marchantiophyta), a new species with moniliate ocelli from Guangxi, China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2023
A new ocellate liverwort species, Cheilolejeunea zhui (Lejeuneaceae), is described from Guangxi, China, based on morphological and molecular evidence. A new section of Cheilolejeunea sect. Moniliocella sect. nov. is proposed to accommodate C. urubuensis and C. zhui. The discovery of C.

What Determines the Probability of Discovering a Species? A Study of the Completeness of Bryophyte Inventories in Tianmushan National Nature Reserve (Zhejiang, China). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Knowing the total number of species in a region has been a question of great interest motivated by the need to provide a reference point for current and future losses of biodiversity. Here, to understand the inventory completeness at the local scale, we studied the temporal dynamics in the species richness and composition of bryophytes in Tianmushan ...

Monitoring the Growth and Habitat Shifts of Epiphyllous Liverworts in Subtropical Forests of China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Our observations from the permanent monitoring plots indicate a rapid expansion in the distribution range of epiphyllous liverworts under the influence of climate change. We have identified the specific microclimate conditions necessary for the growth of epiphyllous liverworts.

A phylogenetic analysis of the genera of Lejeuneaceae (Hepaticae) [PDF]

Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2003
The Lejeuneaceae are the largest family of the liverworts (Hepaticae), with almost a thousand species in 91 currently accepted genera. We analysed phylogenetic relationships of 69 genera, representing all major subfamilies and tribes recognized in the family, by using 49 informative morphological characters (31 gametophytic, 18 sporophytic), one ...

The genus <i>Pycnolejeunea</i> (Lejeuneaceae, Marchantiophyta) in Thailand, with the description of <i>Pycnolejeuneazhuiana</i>. [PDF]

PhytoKeys
A taxonomic study of the genus Pycnolejeunea in Thailand is presented, based on herbarium specimens and new collections from field surveys. Three species are recognised including P. contigua, P. grandiocellata and one new species, P. zhuiana. The new species is distinguished by the strongly papillose lobules, the presence of 1–8 basal ocelli on the ...

Comprehensive phylogenomic time tree of bryophytes reveals deep relationships and uncovers gene incongruences in the last 500 million years of diversification

American Journal of Botany, Volume 110, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023
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

Diversity patterns of epiphytic bryophytes across spatial scales: Species‐rich crowns and beta‐diverse trunks

Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 893-905, July 2022., 2022
Forest canopies are highly complex habitats, home to a wide range of organism groups. We observed that spatial scaling of alpha and beta diversity patterns differs between crown and trunk epiphytic bryophyte communities. The evidence we provide contributes to further understanding how processes such as species interactions and environmental filtering ...

Macroclimatic structuring of spatial phylogenetic turnover in liverworts

Ecography, Volume 44, Issue 10, Page 1474-1485, October 2021., 2021
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 ...

A taxonomic revision of Echinocolea (Lejeuneaceae, Hepaticae)

Nova Hedwigia, 2005
Echinocolea R.M.Schust. was usually considered close to Prionolejeunea (Spruce) Schiffn. but a taxonomic revision shows that they are unrelated. The rough external face of the leaf, the typical distinguishing feature of Echinocolea, proves to be highly variable and is also found in some species of Lejeunea Lib.
