Polish Botanical Journal 61(2): 205–229, 2016 e-ISSN 2084-4352 DOI: 10.1515/pbj-2016-0031 ISSN 1641-8190 CONTRIBUTION TO THE BRYOFLORA OF AUSTRALIA. VI. THE GENUS COLOLEJEUNEA (SPRUCE) STEPH. (LEJEUNEACEAE, MARCHANTIOPHYTA) Tamás Pócs Abstract. Thirty-eight species of the genus Cololejeunea (Spruce) Steph. (Lejeuneaceae, Marchantiophyta) are reported for the whole of Australia, more than doubling the number of taxa known since the first account of the Australian members of the genus. Cololejeunea cairnsiana Pócs, Cololejeunea heinari Pócs and Cololejeunea floccosa var. fraseriana Pócs are described as new to science. The records of Cololejeunea diaphana A. Evans, Cololejeunea gottschei (Steph.) Mizut., Cololejeunea longifolia (Mitt.) Benedix ex Mizut. Cololejeunea verrucosa Steph. and Cololejeunea floccosa(Lehm. & Lindenb.) Steph. var. amoenoides Tixier are new for the continent. Cololejeunea amoena Benedix is treated as a variety of Cololejeunea floccosa. Cololejeunea tortifolia Steph. is synonymized with Cololejeunea microscopica (Taylor) Schiffn. and is excluded from the Australian flora. The name Cololejeunea cambodiana Tixier is validated. A key for the Australian taxa and an analysis of their distribution follow the enumeration of species.

Aphanolejeunea is validated. Two new combinations, one validated species name, 14 new synonyms and four new lectotypes in Cololejeunea are proposed. The genus Austrolejeunea is shown to be invalid and all species are transferred to Nephelolejeunea making three new combinations and validating five species names. Introduction During the work with the forthcoming world checklist of liverworts and hornworts (Söderström et al., in press), several necessary taxonomic and nomenclature changes have come to our attention. Here we present necessary changes in Lejeuneaceae subtrib. Cololejeuneinae (sensu Gradstein 2013). In a molecular study Yu et al. (2014) showed the infrageneric structure in the genus Cololejeunea (Spruce 1884: 291) Stephani (1891: 208), but it does not correspond to the morphological structure currently used. -

The current phylogeny and classification of this subtribe is based on morphological and limited-sampling molecular studies. Here we present a molecular phylogeny of Cheilolejeuneinae and related lineages based on maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood analyses, as well as Bayesian inference of two chloroplast regions (trnL-F, trnG) and the nuclear ribosomal ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region, to test the monophyly of this subtribe, and to re-evaluate the infrageneric classification of Cheilolejeunea. -
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. -
Fifty Shades of Red: Lost Or Threatened Bryophytes in Africa

The International 1,2 Jacques van Rooy Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Species Survival Commission (SSC) Bryophyte Ariel Bergamini3 Irene Bisang4 Specialist Group has recently launched the ‘Top 10 Initiative’ to identify the 10 species on each continent that are at highest risk of extinction. Affiliations: 1National Herbarium, South Objectives: The main aim of this paper was to highlight some of the lost or strongly threatened African National Biodiversity bryophyte species in sub-Saharan Africa and the East African islands and to draw up a Top 10 Institute, South Africa list for Africa. 2School of Animal, Method: Lost or threatened species have been identified with the help of experts on the Plant and Environmental bryoflora of Africa, global and regional Red Lists and taxonomic literature. Each species on Sciences, University of the this candidate list is discussed at the hand of its taxonomy, distribution, habitat, threat and Witwatersrand, South Africa current global or regional Red List status as far as previously assessed. 3 Department of Biodiversity Results: Fifty bryophyte species, representing 40 genera and 23 families, have been identified and Conservation Biology, Swiss Federal Research as Top 10 candidates. Of these, 29 are endemic to Africa and 21 are restricted to the East African Institute WSL, Switzerland islands. The majority of the candidate species occur in one of eight ‘biodiversity hotspots’ with most species (19) in the Madagascar and the Indian Ocean Islands hotspot. -
Distribution and Habitat of the Malaysian Species of Lejeunea (Marchantiophyta: Lejeuneaceae), with Description of Lejeunea Tamaspocsii Sp
Polish Botanical Journal 58(1): 59–69, 2013 DOI: 10.2478/pbj-2013-0007 DISTRIBUTION AND HABITAT OF THE MALAYSIAN SPECIES OF LEJEUNEA (MARCHANTIOPHYTA: LEJEUNEACEAE), WITH DESCRIPTION OF LEJEUNEA TAMASPOCSII SP. NOV. GAIK EE Lee & S. ROBB erT GR AD S T E IN Abstract. We analyze the geographical and elevational ranges and the habitats of 30 species and two varieties of Lejeunea Lib. recorded from Malaysia. The greatest diversity of Lejeunea in Malaysia is found on Mt. Kinabalu with 27 species. The majority of the species are Malesian in distribution with a high number (8) belonging to the West Malesian element. Widely distributed species are often autoicous and produce spores freely; those with narrow distributions are more often dioicous and rarely produce spores. Dispersal of dioicous species seems to be promoted by asexual reproduction, being more common in wide-ranging dioicous species than in narrow-ranging ones. Endemism is 10% with three species being known only from Mt. Kinabalu. Range sizes of species decrease towards higher elevation and endemic species occur exclusively in the mountains. About half of the species occur in the lower montane rainforest belt, which is the elevational zone with the highest diversity of Lejeunea in Malaysia. The majority of the species are epiphytes, either corticolous or ramicolous. One species (L. dimorpha) is an obligate epiphyll. The new species Lejeunea tamaspocsii G. E. Lee is described and two new combinations, L. dipterota (Eifrig) G. E. Lee and L. exilis var. abnormis (Herzog) G. E. Lee, are proposed.

Mishler, Chair Professor David D. Ackerly Professor Katherine N. Suding Spring 2013 Abstract Adaptive Traits and Community Assembly of Epiphyllous Bryophytes By Ekaphan Kraichak Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology University of California, Berkeley Professor Brent D. Mishler, Chair Leaf surfaces of tropical vascular plants provide homes for diverse groups of organisms, including epiphyllous (leaf-colonizing) bryophytes. Each leaf harbors a temporally and spatially discrete community of organisms, providing an excellent system for answering some of the most fundamental questions in ecology and evolution. In this dissertation, I investigated two main aspects of epiphyllous bryophyte biology: 1) adaptive traits of bryophytes to living on the leaf surface, and 2) community assembly of epiphyllous bryophytes in space (between-hosts) and time (succession). For the first part, I used published trait data and phylogeny of liverworts in family Lejeuneaceae to demonstrate that only the production of asexual propagules appeared to evolve in response to living on the leaf surface, while other hypothesized traits did not have correlated evolution with epiphylly. The second portion dealt with the assembly of communities among different host types. -
