This subcosmopolitan family has its centre of diversity in the humid tropics and constitutes an important component of cryptogamic, especially epiphytic diversity. Lejeuneaceae are characterized by incubous leaves divided into a large dorsal lobe and a small ventral, usually 1-3 toothed lobule which is broadly attached to the lobe along a keel, a hyaline papilla situated near the lobule apex, beaked perianths within each one archegonium, and the occasional occurrence of ocelli. Morphological and molecular studies resolved the family in two subfamilies and four main lineages. However, the systematic position of many taxa and their delimitations are still subject to controversy. To clarify these issues, my study focused on several critical genera using three molecular markers (cp rbcL and trnL-F, nrITS) and a dense taxonomic sampling. Phylogenetic analyses resolved the relationships within Diplasiolejeunea and Lejeunea, and clarified the systematic positions of Microlejeunea, Harpalejeunea, Myriocolea, Sphaerolejeunea, and Bromeliophila. A molecular phylogenetic study of Diplasiolejeunea points to extensive morphological homoplasy but allows to assign three main clades to subgenera. The phylogeny supports a deep split into a Neotropical and a Paleotropical clade, the latter structured into Australasian, Asian and Afromadagascan lineages. The Neotropical clade is further subdivided into two geographically and ecologically separated lineages, the epiphytic montane subgenus Physolejeunea and the epiphyllous lowland subgenus Diplasiolejeunea. This strong correlation between ecological traits and geographical distribution range could indicate the rise of the Andes‘ influence in stimulating the diversification of Physolejeunea, perhaps by providing new habitats. A few Diplasiolejeunea species have intercontinental ranges. Range formation of Cenozoic Diplasiolejeunea is obviously a result of rare long distance dispersal, frequent short distance dispersal, extinction, recolonization, and niche conservatism. 1 Lejeunea is one of the largest genera of Lejeuneaceae. My molecular studies resolved Lejeunea in two robust lineages, corresponding to L. subg. Lejeunea and L. subg. Crossotolejeunea. Neotropical accessions dominate early diverging lineages of both main clades of Lejeunea. This pattern suggests an origin in the Neotropics followed by several colonizations from the Neotropics into the Paleotropics and vice versa. Most Afromadagascan clades are related to Asian clades. Several temperate Lejeunea radiations were detected. 82 of the 91 investigated Lejeunea species could be identified to species level. 54 species were represented by multiple accessions, of these, 25 para- or polyphyletic, 29 monophyletic. L. subg. Lejeunea shows a tendency of monoecy whereas L. subg. Crossotolejeunea shows a tendency of dioecy. Some dioecious as well as some monoecious species have disjunct ranges. Using molecular and morphological evidence, Harpalejeunea fischeri, H. filicuspis, H. latitans and Pluvianthus squarrosus were transferred to Microlejeunea. Two monotypic genera, rheophytic Myriocolea and epiphyllous Sphaerolejeunea were transferred to Colura and Lejeunea respectively. Our studies also confirmed the monophyly of Bromeliophila and provided evidence for a sister relationship of Bromeliophila and Prionolejeunea; this clade is in turn sister to Cyclolejeunea. Despite an extensive morphological overlap, Bromeliophila is not closely related to Lejeunea. 2 Extended Summary This dissertation is about the molecular phylogenetic studies of several critical genera within family Lejeuneaceae.

    Checklist of the Liverworts and Hornworts of the Interior Highlands of North America In Arkansas, Illinois, Missouri and Oklahoma Stephen L. Timme T. M. Sperry Herbarium ‐ Biology Pittsburg State University Pittsburg, Kansas 66762 and 3 Bowness Lane Bella Vista, AR 72714 [email protected] Paul Redfearn, Jr. 5238 Downey Ave. Independence, MO 64055 Introduction Since the last publication of a checklist of liverworts and hornworts of the Interior Highlands (1997)), many new county and state records have been reported. To make the checklist useful, it was necessary to update it since its last posting. The map of the Interior Highlands of North America that appears in Redfearn (1983) does not include the very southeast corner of Kansas. However, the Springfield Plateau encompasses some 88 square kilometers of this corner of the state and includes limestone and some sandstone and shale outcrops. The vegetation is typical Ozarkian flora, dominated by oak and hickory. This checklist includes liverworts and hornworts collected from Cherokee County, Kansas. Most of what is known for the area is the result of collections by R. McGregor published in 1955. The majority of his collections are deposited in the herbarium at the New York Botanical Garden (NY). This checklist only includes the region defined as the Interior Highlands of North America. This includes the Springfield Plateau, Salem Plateau, St. Francois Mountains, Boston Mountains, Arkansas Valley, Ouachita Mountains and Ozark Hills. It encompasses much of southern Missouri south of the Missouri River, southwest Illinois; most of Arkansas except the Mississippi Lowlands and the Coastal Plain, the extreme southeastern corner of Kansas, and eastern Oklahoma (Fig.

Dicranum scoparium and Porella platyphylla taxa of bryophytes were used in the present study carried out to determine the free radical scavenging activities, fatty acid, and vitamin contents. In this study, it was aimed to underline the importance of bryophytes for scientific literature and to provide a basis for further studies on this subject. The data obtained in this study indicate that the DPPH radical scavenging effect of D. scoparium taxon is significantly higher than that of P. platyphylla taxon. It is known that there is a strong relationship between the phenolic compound content of methanol extracts of the plants and the DPPH radical scavenging efficiency. When the fatty acid contents were examined, it was observed that levels of all unsaturated fatty acids were higher in the P. platyphylla taxon than the D. scoparium taxon, except for α-Linolenic acid. When the vitamin contents of species were compared, it was determined that D-3, α -tocopherol, stigmasterol, betasterol amount was higher in Dicranum taxon. Keywords: DPPH, Fatty Acid, Vitamin, Dicranaceae, Porellaceae Dicranum scoparium ve Porella platyphylla taxonlarının biyokimyasal bileşiklerinin serbest radikal temizleme faaliyetleri Öz Ülkemizde briyofitler ile ilgili olan çalışmalar genellikle briyofloristik amaçlı olup serbest radikal temizleme aktiviteleri ve yağ asidi içerikleri gibi diğer amaçlı çalışmalar yok denecek kadar azdır.

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.

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.
