Mosses of Pakistan
J Hattori Bot. Lab. No. 93: 273- 291 (Jan. 2003) MOSSES OF PAKISTAN 1 2 MASANOBU HIGUCHI AND NAOKl NISHIMURA ABSTRACT. The mosses of Pakistan are enumerated by the literature published up to 2001. The moss flora of Pakistan comprises 339 taxa in 124 genera and 33 families. The southern and southwestern Pakistan (Sindh and Balochistan) has not been bryologically well explored. The mosses of Pakistan are largely circumboreal, although the Eurasian element is also prominent. It has 43 endemic taxa (ca. 13%) and a rich representation of the family Pottiaceae including 23 genera and 63 species. The floristic relationships of mosses between Pakistan and the neighboring areas are discussed. KEy WORDs: mosses, distribution, Pakistan, East India, Afghanistan INTRODUCTION Pakistan stretches from the Arabian Sea in the West to the high mountains of central Asia, and geographically falls into three main regions: (I) northern mountainous region, (2) Balochistan plateau region, and (3) Punjab and Sindh plain region. The average rainfall varies from less than 75 mm a year to 1650 mm and, beginning at sea level, the country rises to 7063 m at K-2 in the Karakorum Mts. (Stewart 1982). Pakistan is divided into four provinces: Sindh, Balochistan, Punjab, and the North-West Frontier Province (usually re ferred to as N. W F. P.) (Fig. 1). There are two other regions, Baltistan (or the Northern Areas) and Azad Kashmir. The moss flora of Pakistan is still insufficiently known. Early bryological researches of Pakistan were made by Brotherus (1898a, b), Dixon (1926,1929) and Herzog (1938). In the 1950's, some local floras were published by Stoermer (1954), Bartram (1955) and Noguchi (1956, 1959, 1964). -

(2003): Check- and Red List of bryophytes of the Czech Republic (2003). – Preslia, Praha, 75: 193–222. The second version of the checklist and Red List of bryophytes of the Czech Republic is provided. Generally accepted infraspecific taxa have been incorporated into the checklist for the first time. With respect to the Red List, IUCN criteria version 3.1 has been adopted for evaluation of taxa, and the criteria used for listing in the respective categories are listed under each red-listed taxon. Taxa without recent localities and those where extinction has not been proven are listed as a subset of DD taxa. Little known and rare non-threatened taxa with incomplete knowledge of distribution which are worthy of further investigation are listed on the so-called attention list. In total, 849 species plus 5 subspecies and 19 varieties have been accepted. 23 other historically reported species and one va- riety were evaluated as doubtful with respect to unproven but possible occurrence in the territory, and 6 other species with proven occurrence require taxonomic clarification. -

The Disjunct Bryophyte Element of the Gulf of St. Lawrence Region: Glacial and Postglacial Dispersal and Migrational Histories By @Rene J. Belland B.Sc., M.Sc. A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Biology Memorial University of Newfoundland December, 1Q84 St. John's Newfoundland Abstract The Gulf St. Lawrence region has a bryophyte flora of 698 species. Of these 267 (38%) are disjunct to this region from western North America, eastern Asia, or Europe. The Gulf of St. Lawrence and eastern North American distributions of the disjuncts were analysed and their possible migrational and dispersal histories during and after the Last Glaciation (Wisconsin) examined. Based on eastern North American distribution patterns, the disjuncts fell into 22 sub elements supporting five migrational/ dispersal histories or combinations of these : (1) migration from the south, (2) migration from the north, (3) migration from the west, (4) survival in refugia, and (5) introduction by man. The largest groups of disjuncts had eastern North American distributions supporting either survival of bryophytes in Wisconsin ice-free areas of the Gulf of St. Lawrence or postglacial migration to the Gulf from the south. About 26% of the disjuncts have complex histories and their distributions support two histories. These may have migrated to the Gulf from the west and/or north, or from the west and/or survived glaciation in Gulf ice-free areas. -

Kučera J., Váňa J. & Hradílek Z. (2012): Bryophyte flora of the Czech Republic: updated checklist and Red List and a brief analysis. – Preslia 84: 813–850. The bryoflora of the Czech Republic is analysed using an updated version of the checklist that includes recent taxonomic and nomenclatural changes. In addition, the baseline data was com- pletely revised using the IUCN 3.1 criteria. The main list includes 863 species of bryophytes (4 hornworts, 207 liverworts and 652 mosses) with 5 additional subspecies and 23 generally recog- nized varieties; 9 additional species are listed as of doubtful taxonomic status and 17 other species are evaluated as of uncertain occurrence. Of the 892 taxa evaluated, 46% qualified for inclusion in Red List categories (40 taxa in category RE, 70 in CR, 88 in EN, 93 in VU, 66 in LR-nt, 24 in DD-va and 30 in DD), while 54% are considered Least Concern (LC). -

Totals of 156 genera and 282, species are recorded. The main past collectors of mosses in Bhutan are listed, together with sources of erroneous reports; 44 erroneous and doubtful taxa are excluded. The name Breutelia setschwanica is applied to the only Himalayan mem- ber of the genus. The name Barbula [lavicans is proposed as an avowed substitute for the illegitimate Tortula [lavescens Hook. & Grev. (Barbula fuscescens C. Mull. nom. inval.) KEYWORDS: Mosses, checklist, Bhutan, Himalaya, Breutelia setschwanica, Barbula [lavicans. INTRODUCTION Of all the countries and states in the Himalayan region, Bhutan is probably one of the richest bryologically yet one of the least-known. -

Established in 1994, CEH is a multi-disciplinary environmental research organisation. The Biological Records Centre (BRC) is operated by CEH, and currently based at CEH Monks Wood. BRC is jointly funded by CEH and the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (www.jncc/gov.uk), the latter acting on behalf of the statutory conservation agencies in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. CEH and JNCC support BRC as an important component of the National Biodiversity Network. BRC seeks to help naturalists and research biologists to co-ordinate their efforts in studying the occurrence of plants and animals in Britain and Ireland, and to make the results of these studies available to others.
