Abstract Premise Bryophytes form a major component of terrestrial plant biomass, structuring ecological communities in all biomes. Our understanding the evolutionary history hornworts, liverworts, and mosses has been significantly reshaped by inferences from molecular data, which have highlighted extensive homoplasy various traits repeated bursts diversification. However, timing key events phylogeny, patterns, processes diversification across bryophytes remain unclear. Methods Using GoFlag...
To address the biodiversity crisis, we need to understand evolution of all organisms and how they fill geographic ecological space. Syntrichia is one most diverse dominant genera mosses, ranging from alpine habitats desert biocrusts, yet its evolutionary history remains unclear.We present a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis Syntrichia, based on both molecular morphological data, with named species closest outgroups represented. In addition, provide ancestral-state reconstructions...
Bryophytes are emerging as the sister-group to extant vascular plants, and their current diversity highlights that life cycle characterized by a dominating vegetative gametophyte an unbranched sporophyte composes successful alternative of plants sporophyte.The evolutionary history hornworts, liverworts mosses remains, however, poorly resolved, due in part small character space from which draw shared ancestry.Our understanding diversification these lineages has been significantly reshaped...
Abstract Syntrichia relies on external water conduction for photosynthesis, survival, and reproduction, a condition referred to as ectohydry. Capillarity spaces are abundant in Syntrichia, but the link between function morphology is complex. The aim of this study was provide better understanding species-specific morphological traits underlying functions storage. We used an environmental scanning electron microscope confocal microscopy observing anatomical characters leaves species. also...
Abstract— Acaena (Rosaceae) is the most complex and ecologically variable genus in Sanguisorbinae. Although it has been subject of several taxonomic treatments, largest phylogenetic analysis to date only sampled a small fraction total global diversity (five seven out 45 50 species). This study included species elucidate relationships biogeographic patterns Phylogenetic analyses non-coding nuclear (ITS region) chloroplast ( trnL-F ) DNA sequence markers using maximum likelihood Bayesian...
Mount Diablo in Contra Costa County is a notable peak California's central Coast Ranges, well known for its biodiversity. To date, no accounts of the bryophytes on this mountain have been published. We present catalogue mosses, liverworts, and hornworts to occur Diablo. base collections made by us augmented specimens from other collectors that are housed North American herbaria. collected extensively 2014 2020.
