A New Species of Radula (Radulaceae, Porellales) From Mid‐Cretaceous Kachin Amber [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
The liverwort genus Radula, one of the largest genera within the order Porellales, is phylogenetically isolated and widely distributed, with many species thriving as epiphytes in diverse ecosystems. Fossil records of Radula are scarce, particularly those

Molecular and Morphological Evidence Challenges the Records of the Extant Liverwort Ptilidium pulcherrimum in Eocene Baltic Amber. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Preservation of liverworts in amber, a fossilized tree resin, is often exquisite. Twenty-three fossil species of liverworts have been described to date from Eocene (35-50 Ma) Baltic amber.

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

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

Liverwort diversity in China: spatial and taxonomic patterns on species richness [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
The diversity of liverworts in China is rich. It is of great significance to study the species distribution pattern of liverworts in China for the protection of liverworts diversity, flora research and biodiversity monitoring.

Systematics and Palaeoecology of Three New Acrocarpous Mosses from the Mid-Cretaceous of Kachin, Myanmar [PDF]

Plants
The mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber deposit from northern Myanmar is currently a promising locality for reconstructing Cretaceous bryophyte floras. However, the vast majority of bryophyte fossils reported from Kachin amber are epiphytic leafy liverworts of ...

The Neotropical endemic liverwort subfamily Micropterygioideae had circum-Antarctic links to the rest of the Lepidoziaceae during the early Cretaceous. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We inferred the position of Micropterygioideae in the molecular phylogeny of the liverwort family Lepidoziaceae for the first time and found circum‐Antarctic links of the subfamily to the rest of the family. Additionally, we estimated the divergence times and inferred the ancestral ranges of the major clades of the family.

Macroclimatic structuring of spatial phylogenetic turnover in liverworts [PDF]

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 ...

Phytohormone Profiling across the Bryophytes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Bryophytes represent a very diverse group of non-vascular plants such as mosses, liverworts and hornworts and the oldest extant lineage of land plants.

Temperature dependence of liverwort diversification reveals a cool origin and hot hotspots. [PDF]

Sci Rep
The evolutionary history underlying gradients in species richness is still subject to discussions and understanding the past niche evolution might be crucial in estimating the potential of taxa to adapt to changing environmental conditions. In this study
