Increased diversification rates follow shifts to bisexuality in liverworts [PDF]
Shifts in sexual systems are one of the key drivers of species diversification. In contrast to angiosperms, unisexuality prevails in bryophytes. Here, we test the hypotheses that bisexuality evolved from an ancestral unisexual condition and is a key ...

The Neotropical-African liverwort Marchesinia brachiata has long been regarded as a polymorphic species. This hypothesis is examined using a dataset including sequences of the nuclear internal transcribed spacer region and the plastidic trnL-trnF region of 39 Marchesinia accessions.

Opportunities and challenges presented by cryptic bryophyte species. [PDF]
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.

A fossil species ofCeratolejeunea(Lejeuneaceae, Porellales) preserved in Miocene Mexican amber
Abstract A sterile liverwort inclusion in a piece of Miocene Mexican amber is described and assigned to the extant genus Ceratolejeunea. The inclusion has entire leaves with a basal group of 2–4(– ca. 7) ocelli, rather thin-walled leaf cells, large ovoid lobules and bifid, suborbicular underleaves.

The extant liverwort Gackstroemia (Lepidolaenaceae, Porellales) in Cretaceous amber from Myanmar
Abstract We describe a sterile gametophyte fragment of a leafy liverwort preserved in Cretaceous amber from Myanmar, and place it in the extant genus Gackstroemia, as G. cretacea sp. nov., representing the second extant genus of leafy liverworts reported from the Mesozoic.

Molecular cytogenetics (FISH, GISH) of Coccinia grandis: A ca. 3 myr-old species of Cucurbitaceae with the largest Y/autosome divergence in flowering plants [PDF]
The independent evolution of heteromorphic sex chromosomes in 19 species from 4 families of flowering plants permits studying X/Y divergence after the initial recombination suppression.
