Liverworts from the Largest of The Arctoa (2015) 24: 327-361 doi: 10.15298/arctoa.24.28 LIVERWORTS FROM THE LARGEST OF THE UNITED STATES: A CHECKLIST FOR MAINLAND ALASKA ЧЕКЛИСТ ПЕЧЕНОЧНИКОВ КОНТИНЕНТАЛЬНОЙ АЛЯСКИ, КРУПНЕЙШЕГО ШТАТА США LARS SÖDERSTRÖM1, ANDERS HAGBORG2 & MATT J. VON KONRAT2 ЛАРС СЁДЕРСТРЁМ1, АНДЕРС ХАГБОРГ2, МАТТ Д. ФОН КОНРАТ2 Abstract We report 294 liverwort taxa in 267 species for the State of Alaska, excluding the Aleutian Islands,15 taxa are listed as doubtful and an additional 17 of the previous reports are rejected as erroneous. The checklist is based on 417 literature references, including monographs, regional studies, and molecular investigations. The list represents the first compilation of liverworts from the region for over three de- cades. It is likely that a number of new records remain to be reported, based on regionally widespread species that have been recorded elsewhere. On the other hand, it is envisaged that a number of the taxa presented here may be synonyms of other taxa as they are taxonomically insufficiently known. Резюме Чеклист включает 294 таксонов печеночников, относящихся к 267 видам, известным с Аляски, не включая Алеутские острова. 15 таксонов отнесены к сомнительным, а eщe 17 исключены из флоры, поскольку выяснилась ошибочность определений. Чеклист основывается на 417 литературных источниках, в том числе систематических обработках, региональных флорах и заметках, а также образцах, цитированных в молекулярно-филогенетических работах. Список представляет собой первое за последние 30 лет обобщение по региону. Новые находки здесь вполне вероятны, учитывая, что не все распространенные на сопредельных территориях виды уже найдены в штате. С другой стороны, нельзя исключать что дальнейшие таксономические исследования приведут к сведению части таксонов в синонимы. KEYWORDS: Alaska, liverworts, checklist.

  • Appendix K. Survey and Manage Species Persistence Evaluation
    Appendix K. Survey and Manage Species Persistence Evaluation Establishment of the 95-foot wide construction corridor and TEWAs would likely remove individuals of H. caeruleus and modify microclimate conditions around individuals that are not removed. The removal of forests and host trees and disturbance to soil could negatively affect H. caeruleus in adjacent areas by removing its habitat, disturbing the roots of host trees, and affecting its mycorrhizal association with the trees, potentially affecting site persistence. Restored portions of the corridor and TEWAs would be dominated by early seral vegetation for approximately 30 years, which would result in long-term changes to habitat conditions. A 30-foot wide portion of the corridor would be maintained in low-growing vegetation for pipeline maintenance and would not provide habitat for the species during the life of the project. Hygrophorus caeruleus is not likely to persist at one of the sites in the project area because of the extent of impacts and the proximity of the recorded observation to the corridor. Hygrophorus caeruleus is likely to persist at the remaining three sites in the project area (MP 168.8 and MP 172.4 (north), and MP 172.5-172.7) because the majority of observations within the sites are more than 90 feet from the corridor, where direct effects are not anticipated and indirect effects are unlikely. The site at MP 168.8 is in a forested area on an east-facing slope, and a paved road occurs through the southeast part of the site. Four out of five observations are more than 90 feet southwest of the corridor and are not likely to be directly or indirectly affected by the PCGP Project based on the distance from the corridor, extent of forests surrounding the observations, and proximity to an existing open corridor (the road), indicating the species is likely resilient to edge- related effects at the site.

Zechmeister, Dept of Botany and Biodiversity Research, Rennweg 14, AT-1030 Vienna, Austria. The moss and liverwort flora of Zackenberg valley in the Northeast Greenland National Park has been studied based on field investigations and literature survey. Altogether 212 taxa are recorded in the area� with 43 liverworts and 169 mosses. Five taxa are reported as new to Greenland Lophochaete fryei (Perss.) R.M. Schust.� Sphagnum orientale �.I. Savicz� Orthothecium lapponicum (Schimp.) C. �artm.� Pohlia vexans (�impr.) �. �indb. and Tortella alpicola Dixon. Additionally four taxa are reported as new to east Greenland; Grimmia plagiopodia �edw.� Riccardia latifrons (�indb.) �indb. Sphagnum olafii Flatberg and Tritomaria exsectiformis (Breidl.) Schiffner ex �oeske. The bryophyte flora of the Zackenberg valley is characterised by pioneer species adapted to disturbance by frost and wind� but also more stable communities exist especially at the lower part of the valley with wet to moist tundra. The Zackenberg valley bryophyte flora shows higher similarity with the flora on Svalbard (�1%) compared with Ellesmere Island (67% and 60% for liverworts and mosses� respectively).

The type of habitat was also determined to clarify whether the habitat is a wet or dry meadow, bog or fen. Bryophyte identification was begun in 2010 with the first specimens collected and continued on through 2011 when most priority bryophytes were identified. The meadows selected represent the highest probability habitat for wetland bryophytes and fungi on Detroit and Sweet Home Ranger Districts. Some of these meadows may have been surveyed for vascular plant species in the past, but there are many new non-vascular sensitive species on the Willamette NF 2008 sensitive species list (see attachment 1) and additional species being being added to the proposed 2012 Regional Forester’s sensitive species list (unpublished). Meadows surveyed on the Detroit Ranger District included: Tule Lake meadow complex, Twin Meadows, Marion Lake meadow complex, Jo Jo Lake site, Wild Cheat Meadows, Bruno Meadows, Pigeon Prairie Meadow complex and Big Meadows. On the Sweet Home Ranger District Gordon Lake Meadows Complex was surveyed.

O. Box 299, St. Louis, MO 63166–0299 U.S.A.; [email protected] Abstract A widely accessible list of known plant species is a fundamental requirement for plant conservation and has vast applications. An index of published names of liverworts and hornworts between 2009 and 2010 is provided as part of a continued effort in working toward producing a world checklist of this group. Included in the list are also names overlooked by earlier indices. The list includes 30 higher taxa, 250 species, 52 infraspecific taxa, 31 autonyms, and two fossils for 2009 and 2010. A number of taxa not covered by the earlier indices for 2000-2008 are also included. Key words: Liverworts, hornworts, index, nomenclature Introduction Under the auspices of the Early Land Plants Today project, there has been a strong community-driven effort attempting to address the critical need to synthesize the vast nomenclatural, taxonomic and global distributional data for liverworts (Marchantiophyta) and hornworts (Anthocerotophyta) (von Konrat et al. 2010a). These endeavours are critical in providing the foundation to develop a working checklist of liverworts and hornworts worldwide; the first version is projected to be published in 2012.

  • Cephaloziella Konstantinovae (Cephaloziellaceae, Marchantiophyta), a New Leafy Liverwort Species from Russia and Mongolia Identified by Integrative Taxonomy
    Polish Botanical Journal 62(1): 1–19, 2017 e-ISSN 2084-4352 DOI: 10.1515/pbj-2017-0001 ISSN 1641-8190 CEPHALOZIELLA KONSTANTINOVAE (CEPHALOZIELLACEAE, MARCHANTIOPHYTA), A NEW LEAFY LIVERWORT SPECIES FROM RUSSIA AND MONGOLIA IDENTIFIED BY INTEGRATIVE TAXONOMY 1 Yuriy S. Mamontov & Anna A. Vilnet Abstract. In the course of a taxonomic study of the genus Cephaloziella (Spruce) Schiffn. (Cephaloziellaceae, Marchantiophyta) in Asia, the new species Cephaloziella konstantinovae Mamontov & Vilnet, sp. nov., from the eastern regions of Russia and from the Republic of Mongolia was discovered. The new species is formally described and illustrated here. Morphologically it is similar to C. divaricata var. asperifolia (Taylor) Damsh., but differs in its leaf shape and thin-walled, inflated stem and leaf cells. The new species can be distinguished from other Cephaloziella taxa by the following characters: (i) female bracts entirely free from each other and from bracteole, (ii) perianth campanulate, (iii) cells of perianth mouth subquadrate, (iv) capsule spherical, (v) seta with 8–10 + 4–6-seriate morphology, and (vi) elaters with 1–2 spiral bands. Molecular phylogenetic analyses of nrITS1-5.8S-ITS2 and chloroplast trnL-F sequences from 63 samples (34 species, 23 genera) confirm the taxonomical status of the new species. Five specimens of C. konstantinovae form a clade placed sister to a clade of C. elachista (J. B. Jack) Schiffn. and C. rubella (Nees) Warnst.
