The names of all mosses published up to the end August 2011 in countries Mediterranean basin, Macaronesian Islands and Bulgaria are compiled an annotated checklist. list comprises accepted synonyms, provides explanatory annotations for ambiguous disputed names. Literature references supporting reports each individual area given only taxa reported once or a single locality. A total 1168 species 81 infraspecific from whole area.
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...
This is the first report of Anastrophyllum michauxii from Vologda Region.It a montane subcircumpolar liverwort species.The species known in several European countries (Austria, Bulgaria, France, Czech Republic and Slovakia, Germany, Hungary, former Yugoslavia, Italy, Romania, Poland, Finland, Sweden, Norway), Asia (China, Japan) few sites North America (Damsholt, 2002;Schumacker & Va ´n ˇa, 2005).In Russia, A. has been found mountainous areas: Northern Middle Urals, Caucasus, Stanovoye...
Molecular analyses have consistently evidenced the phylogenetic heterogeneity of Orthotrichum Hedw., and suggested need to segregate species with superficial stomata in a separate genus. A recent proposal has been made accommodate monoicous such genus Dorcadion Adans. ex Lindb., which is, however, an illegitimate name according current Code nomenclature algae, fungi plants. Consequently new is required, generic Lewinskya F.Lara, Garilleti & Goffinet proposed. New combinations are for all...
In 1842, J.D. Hooker collected a number of mosses on Hermite Island (Cape Horn region). From one those gatherings, 141, four species Ulota have been described: U. luteola, fuegiana, glabella, and eremitensis. The first two are widely accepted, whereas the identity latter has recently discussed, names now synonymized under more distributed in Tierra del Fuego archipelago. Our studies, based recent collections Orthotrichaceae from Patagonia, show that specimens different fuegiana agreeing with...
The combined use of morphological and molecular analyses has been proven to be useful in resolving taxonomic complexes with hidden diversity. In bryology, however, integrative taxonomy rarely employed revisit relevant old, unresolved problems. One these classical controversies is whether the Ulota crispa complex comprises one or three species. To elucidate this, an exhaustive revision, based on numerous herbarium fresh specimens from most Holarctic areas which U. reported, analyses, using...

Species boundaries are sometimes difficult to assess, especially when molecular data do not neatly match morphologically defined units. This study investigates the moss genus Isothecium, with special emphasis on Macaronesian populations. Morphological studies combined analysis of three rapidly evolving markers: nuclear internal transcribed spacer and plastid trnG trnL-trnF. The results morphological suggest that Isothecium is represented by five species in Macaronesia, including a new...
Intercontinental disjunct distributions are a main issue in current biogeography. Bryophytes usually have broad distribution ranges and therefore constitute an interesting subject of study this context. During recent fieldwork western North America eastern Africa, we found new populations moss morphologically similar to Orthotrichum acuminatum. So far species has been considered be one the most typical epiphytic mosses Mediterranean Basin. The findings raise some puzzling questions. Do these...
ABSTRACT ITS, rpl16 and trnG sequences, together with morphological data, were used to circumscribe the European problematic taxa within Sciuro-hypnum reflexum complex. Strongly supported monophyletic clades sustain several of target as distinct species ( S. reflexum, starkii, tromsoeense, glaciale, dovrense, latifolium ). The segregation nelsonii Brachythecium glaciale var. gelidum is found be inconsistent our results two are therefore synonymized.

Mosses of the subfamily Orthotrichoideae represent one main components cryptogam epiphytic communities in temperate areas. During last two decades, this taxonomical group has undergone an extensive revision that led to its rearrangement at generic level. However, their phylogenetic relationships and inferences on evolutionary patterns have driven present diversity little advanced. In study, we a dated molecular reconstruction level, including 130 samples 12 genera currently recognized within...
AbstractAbstractThe epiphytic bryoflora of the Atlas and Antiatlas Mountains is catalogued, resulting in a list 65 taxa (63 mosses 2 liverworts). Twenty-eight new records are reported: four to northern Africa, one Morocco 23 regional novelties. In addition, synthesis distribution epiphytes presented, with distributional maps for main taxa. Five groups have been established on basis their distribution: widely distributed taxa, Rif Middle localized occurrences. From these patterns, it can be...
Abstract Orthotrichum lyellii was described in 1878 based on the crisped leaves with plane margins its elongated and branched stems, presence of brood-bodies. In Europe, these characters remain constant, but North America several similar forms lacking propagules have been either at specific or infraspecific level. These were all reduced to synonyms O. lyellii. 2015, divided, transferred Pulvigera, a genus thus far considered be monospecific. this study, variability P. is analysed an...

Phylogenomic data increase the possibilities of resolving evolutionary and systematic relationships among taxa. This is especially valuable in groups with few homoplasious morphological characters, which taxonomical delimitations have been traditionally difficult. Such case several lineages within Bryophyta, like Orthotrichaceae, second most diverse family mosses. Members tribe Orthotricheae are common temperate cold regions, as well high tropical mountains. In extratropical areas, they...
