A New Species of Radula (Radulaceae, Porellales) From Mid‐Cretaceous Kachin Amber [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe 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 Phylogeny of the Leafy Liverwort Lejeunea (Porellales): Evidence for a Neotropical Origin, Uneven Distribution of Sexual Systems and Insufficient Taxonomy [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BackgroundLejeunea is a largely epiphytic, subcosmopolitan liverwort genus with a complex taxonomic history. Species circumscriptions and their relationships are subject to controversy; biogeographic history and diversification through time are largely ...

Integrative taxonomy resolves the cryptic and pseudo-cryptic Radula buccinifera complex (Porellales, Jungermanniopsida), including two reinstated and five new species [PDF]
PhytoKeys, 2013 Molecular data from three chloroplast markers resolve individuals attributable to Radula buccinifera in six lineages belonging to two subgenera, indicating the species is polyphyletic as currently circumscribed.

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

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.

A Burmese amber fossil of Radula (Porellales, Jungermanniopsida) provides insights into the Cretaceous evolution of epiphytic lineages of leafy liverworts [PDF]
Fossil Record, 2017 DNA-based divergence time estimates suggested major changes in the composition of epiphyte lineages of liverworts during the Cretaceous; however, evidence from the fossil record is scarce.
