About the Book the Format Acknowledgments
About the Book For more than ten years I have been working on a book on bryophyte ecology and was joined by Heinjo During, who has been very helpful in critiquing multiple versions of the chapters. But as the book progressed, the field of bryophyte ecology progressed faster. No chapter ever seemed to stay finished, hence the decision to publish online. Furthermore, rather than being a textbook, it is evolving into an encyclopedia that would be at least three volumes. Having reached the age when I could retire whenever I wanted to, I no longer needed be so concerned with the publish or perish paradigm. In keeping with the sharing nature of bryologists, and the need to educate the non-bryologists about the nature and role of bryophytes in the ecosystem, it seemed my personal goals could best be accomplished by publishing online. This has several advantages for me. I can choose the format I want, I can include lots of color images, and I can post chapters or parts of chapters as I complete them and update later if I find it important. Throughout the book I have posed questions. I have even attempt to offer hypotheses for many of these. It is my hope that these questions and hypotheses will inspire students of all ages to attempt to answer these. Some are simple and could even be done by elementary school children. Others are suitable for undergraduate projects. And some will take lifelong work or a large team of researchers around the world. Have fun with them! The Format The decision to publish Bryophyte Ecology as an ebook occurred after I had a publisher, and I am sure I have not thought of all the complexities of publishing as I complete things, rather than in the order of the planned organization. -
University of Cape Town
The copyright of this thesis rests with the University of Cape Town. No quotation from it or information derived from it is to be published without full acknowledgement of the source. The thesis is to be used for private study or non-commercial research purposes only. University of Cape Town Addendum (1) Soon after submitting this thesis a more recent comprehensive classification by Crandall-Stotler et al. (2009)1 was published. This recent publication does not undermine the information presented in this thesis. The purpose of including the comprehensive classification of Crandall-Stotler and Stotler (2000) was specifically to introduce some of the issues regarding the troublesome classification of this group of plants. Crandall-Stotler and Stotler (2000), Grolle and Long (2000) for Europe and Macaronesia and Schuster (2002) for Austral Hepaticae represent three previously widely used yet differing opinions regarding Lophoziaceae classification. They thus reflect a useful account of some of the motivation for initiating this project in the first place. (2) Concurrently or soon after chapter 2 was published by de Roo et al. (2007)2 more recent relevant papers were published. These include Heinrichs et al. (2007) already referred to in chapter 4, and notably Vilnet et al. (2008)3 examining the phylogeny and systematics of the genus Lophozia s. str. The plethora of new information regarding taxa included in this thesis is encouraging and with each new publication we gain insight and a clearer understanding these fascinating little plants.

An SEM of one spore from this specimen was previously published by Scott and Pike (1988 fig. 19) and it is clearly F. pusilla.

Functional Gene Losses Occur with Minimal Size Reduction in the Plastid Genome of the Parasitic Liverwort Aneura Mirabilis
Functional Gene Losses Occur with Minimal Size Reduction in the Plastid Genome of the Parasitic Liverwort Aneura mirabilis Norman J. Wickett,* Yan Zhang, S. Kellon Hansen,à Jessie M. Roper,à Jennifer V. Kuehl,§ Sheila A. Plock, Paul G. Wolf,k Claude W. dePamphilis, Jeffrey L.

This unusual liverwort is the only known parasitic seedless land plant with a completely nonphotosynthetic life history. The complete plastid genome of A. mirabilis was sequenced to examine the effect of its nonphotosynthetic life history on plastid genome content. Using a partial genomic fosmid library approach, the genome was sequenced and shown to be 108,007 bp with a structure typical of green plant plastids. Comparisons were made with the plastid genome of Marchantia polymorpha, the only other liverwort plastid sequence available. All ndh genes are either absent or pseudogenes. Five of 15 psb genes are pseudogenes, as are 2 of 6 psa genes and 2 of 6 pet genes. Pseudogenes of cysA, cysT, ccsA, and ycf3 were also detected. The remaining complement of genes present in M. polymorpha is present in the plastid of A. mirabilis with intact open reading frames. All pseudogenes and gene losses co-occur with losses detected in the plastid of the parasitic angiosperm Epifagus virginiana, though the latter has functional gene losses not found in A. -
Assessment of Liverwort and Hornwort Flora of Nilgiri Hills, Western Ghats (India)
Polish Botanical Journal 58(2): 525–537, 2013 DOI: 10.2478/pbj-2013-0038 ASSESSMENT OF LIVERWORT AND HORNWORT FLORA OF NILGIRI HILLS, WESTERN GHATS (INDIA) PR AV E E N KUMAR VERMA 1, AFROZ ALAM & K. K. RAWAT Abstract. Bryophytes are an important part of the flora of the Nilgiri Hills of Western Ghats, a biodiversity hotspot. This paper gives an updated catalogue of the Hepaticae of the Nilgiri Hills. The list includes all available records, based on the authors’ collections and those in LWU and other renowned herbaria. The catalogue of liverworts indicates their substrate and occur- rence, and includes several records new for the Nilgiri bryoflora as well as for Western Ghats. The list of Hepaticae contains 29 families, 55 genera and 164 taxa. The list of Anthocerotae comprises 2 families, 3 genera and 5 taxa belonging to almost all life form types.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The updated list of Estonian bryophytes includes 594 species from all three phyla. Only one species is reported for Estonia according to the literature data, all others have voucher speciemens in herbaria, two of them outside of Estonia. Altogether 242 species are frequent in Estonia, 173 species are rare, and 161 are sporadically distributed. We do not have any recent data for 20 species, and their presence in Estonia is doubtful. In 2008 a new Estonian Red list was compiled and 369 bryophyte species were evaluated against IUCN criteria. Approximately one fifth of the Estonian bryoflora (129 species) is designated to the three threat categories. Keywords: Bryoflora, frequencies of species, protected species, red list INTRODUCTION The diversity of taxa at the global or local scale taxa according to recently accepted synonyms, depends greatly on the taxonomical research. supply every taxa with a voucher specimen, The species number of bryophytes in the world estimate the present frequency in Estonia and varies between 15 000 and 20 000 (Shaw et al., give proper names in Estonian for new taxa or 2011). -
