New Phytologist Supporting Information Article Title: Multiple Innovations Underpinned Branching Form Diversification in Mosses New Phytologist Supporting Information Article title: Multiple innovations underpinned branching form diversification in mosses Authors: Yoan Coudert, Neil E. Bell, Claude Edelin and C. Jill Harrison Article acceptance date: 27 February 2017 The following Supporting Information is available for this article: Fig. S1: Diagrams illustrate the diversity in modularity, branch distribution patterns, module repetition and perichaetia/sporophyte position. Fig. S2: Most likely tree showing relationships between 175 species of Bryopsida. Fig. S3: Bayesian majority consensus tree showing relationships between 175 species of Bryopsida. Fig. S4: Simplified phylogenetic tree showing directionality in character state transitions Fig. S5: Distribution of species between morphotypes. Table S1: List of species studied including authorship, order, GenBank numbers and vouchers of analysed herbarium specimens. Most specimens were available at the Cryptogamic Herbarium of the Natural History Museum London, others were obtained from the Herbarium of the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh (see separate file). Table S2: Bayesian reconstruction of ancestral states for characters II, III, IV and V at selected nodes. Average scores (Av.) represent mean percentage probabilities of ancestral character states from three independent analyses. Nodes X, Y, Z have intermediate positions between nodes 1 and 2, and reconstructions show that the shift in module repetition occurred between node Y (the Bryidae, unresolved in the Bayesian consensus) and node 2. Node Z represents the most likely resolution of node Y (with the Bryales sister to the clade represented by node 2; see Fig. S2), and under this hypothesis the shift can more specifically be said to have occurred between node Z and node 2 (see separate file).

Coloured numbers indicate module classes, apostrophes indicate repeated modules, open circles represent perichaetia/sporophytes and crosses indicate a point of growth arrest. Species were allotted to an overall architecture as listed in Table S3. Notes: (o-r) In these plants, reproductive structures develop at the extremity of primary modules, and primary modules repeat terminally (marked by a "x"). Terminal repetition of primary modules may displace reproductive structures to the side of vegetative modules, which makes them look lateral (as represented on the diagrams) although they are truly terminal. This phenomenon has been well described in Hedwigia ciliata (De Luna, 1990). (o, q) In these plants, several primary modules may repeat at the extremity of a terminated module. This is represented at the top of the diagrams. (t) Little hash beneath the cross indicates accidental termination of growth. This phenomenon may induce module repetition as shown on the diagram Reference: De Luna E. 1990. Developmental evidence of acrocarpy in Hedwigia ciliata (Musci: Hedwigiaceae).

The incomplete preservation and lack of key characters that could define the position of an ancient moss in modern classification remain the problem. Carboniferous records are still impossible to refer to any of the modern moss taxa. Numerous Permian protosphagnalean mosses possess traits that are absent in any extant group and they are therefore treated here as an extinct lineage, whose descendants, if any remain, cannot be recognized among contemporary taxa. Non-protosphagnalean Permian mosses were also fairly diverse, representing morphotypes comparable with Dicranidae and acrocarpous Bryidae, although unequivocal representatives of these subclasses are known only since Cretaceous and Jurassic. Even though Sphagnales is one of two oldest lineages separated from the main trunk of moss phylogenetic tree, it appears in fossil state regularly only since Late Cretaceous, ca.

ISBN 978-82-471-2333-1 (electronic ver.) ISSN 1503-8181 Doctoral theses at NTNU, 2010:179 Printed by NTNU-trykk Synopsis PREFACE It was the spring of 2005, and it was the right time to move onwards. A position as a research fellow working with long-term time series at the Museum of Natural History and Archaeology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) was announced, and a PhD-project was developed with the studies of former haymaking lands at Sølendet and Tågdalen nature reserves as a starting point. Work began in earnest in January 2006, and continued at an ever increasing pace until July 2010, when all the parts of the thesis were finally completed and assembled. The study was financed by NTNU, and was carried out at the Museum of Natural History and Archaeology and the Institute of Biology, both NTNU. I am deeply grateful to my main supervisor Professor Asbjørn Moen at the Museum of Natural History and Archaeology, and my co-supervisor Associate Professor Bård Pedersen at the Institute of Biology. This project rests on the long-term studies of rich hayfens that were initiated by Asbjørn 40 years ago, and that are still ongoing, much due to his continuous effort.

  • 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.

Their significant in the environment helps to evaluate and assess the effect of environmental changes on the ecosystem. This study aims to determine the record status of the collected species of mosses found in Mt. Kasiling Dako, Tomoaong, Tarragona, Davao Oriental, Philippines. The said station has an approximate elevation of 392.6 meters or 1,388.0 feet above mean sea level (masl). The inventory of the moss floral species was done through a transect walk (Alpha Taxonomy) which covers 200 meters following the trail of the forest. The choice of the area conducted through a purposive sampling method in which all mosses was examined and investigated. Twenty – one species of mosses was identified, classified, and described based on their life forms and habitat. Of the 21 specimens collected, eleven locally assessed as abundant while ten found rare. Based on the habitat preference of the mosses, nine preferred tree trunk, five preferred rocks, three for tree base, and two for both tree log and clay.

Lily Roberta Lewis, PhD University of Connecticut, 2015 Many plants have geographic disjunctions, with one of the more rare, yet extreme being the amphitropical, or bipolar disjunction. Bryophytes (namely mosses and liverworts) exhibit this pattern more frequently relative to other groups of plants and typically at or below the level of species. The processes that have shaped the amphitropical disjunction have been infrequently investigated, with notably a near absence of studies focusing on mosses. This dissertation explores the amphitropical disjunction in the dung moss Tetraplodon, with a special emphasis on the origin of the southernmost South American endemic T. fuegianus. Chapter 1 delimits three major lineages within Tetraplodon with distinct yet overlapping geographic ranges, including an amphitropical lineage containing the southernmost South American endemic T. fuegianus. Based on molecular divergence date estimation and phylogenetic topology, the American amphitropical disjunction is traced to a single direct long-distance dispersal event across the tropics. Chapter 2 provides the first evidence supporting the role of migratory shore birds in dispersing bryophytes, as well as other plant, fungal, and algal diaspores across the tropics.

Abstract: Bryophyte species occurring in calcium-rich fens are endangered and retreating in all European countries, including those in Northern Europe, because of fen degradation in intensively exploited landscapes. During our field investigation of mires in northwestern Belarus in July 2017, we discovered new localities of some rare fen bryophyte species. They are included as endangered in the Red Book of Belarus (Cinclidium stygium, Drepanocladus lycopodioides and Meesia triquetra) or have been retreating in the last decades (Hamatocaulis vernicosus, Helodium blandowii, Paludella squarrosa, Scorpidium cossonii and S. scorpioides). Knowledge about their recent distribution is a prerequisite for their active protection by nature conservation authorities. Key words: endangered bryophytes, calcium-rich fens, mires, red-list species, glacial relicts.
