A Family of Sibling Genera Brachytheciaceae (Bryophyta) – Ñåìåéñòâî Ðîäîâ–Áëèçíåöîâ Michael S Arctoa (2002) 11: 245-296 BRACHYTHECIACEAE (BRYOPHYTA) – A FAMILY OF SIBLING GENERA BRACHYTHECIACEAE (BRYOPHYTA) – ÑÅÌÅÉÑÒÂÎ ÐÎÄΖÁËÈÇÍÅÖΠMICHAEL S. IGNATOV1 & SANNA HUTTUNEN2 ÌÈÕÀÈË Ñ. ÈÃÍÀÒÎÂ1 & ÑÀÍÍÀ ÕÓÒÒÓÍÅÍ2 Abstract The history of familial and infrafamilial circumscriptions of the Brachytheciaceae is briefly reviewed and a new classification of the family is proposed, based largely on a phylogenetic analysis of molecular and morphological characters. The family includes four subfamilies and 41 genera; the number of species is estimated to be 250-350. Some genera are established or re-established: Brachytheciastrum gen. nov. – for the group of species around Brachythecium velutinum; Eurhynchiastrum gen. nov. for Eurhynchium pulchellum; Eurhynchiadelphus gen. nov. for Eurhynchium eustegium; Sciurohypnum (Hampe) Hampe for the group of species around Brachythecium oedipodium, B. reflexum, B. populeum; Oxyrrhynchium (B. S. G.) Warnst., nom. conserv. prop. for the group of species around Eurhynchium hians; Remyella C. Müll. for a group of Malesian and Oceanian species, usually referred to Rhynchostegiella. Camptothecium and Trachybryum are not accepted and are placed in Homalothecium; Steerecleus and Scleropodiopsis are not accepted and are placed in Rhynchostegium. The Chinese endemic species known as Platyhypnidium patulifolium is transferred to Donrichardsia.

  • 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.

  • Systematics and Ecology of the Moss Genus Scleropodium (Brachytheciaceae)
    Systematics and ecology of the moss genus Scleropodium (Brachytheciaceae) By Benjamin Elias Carter A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Brent D. Mishler, Chair Professor Bruce G. Baldwin Professor Chelsea D. Specht Spring 2012 Abstract Systematics and ecology of the moss genus Scleropodium (Brachytheciaceae) By Benjamin Elias Carter Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology University of California, Berkeley Professor Brent D. Mishler, Chair Scleropodium is a genus of six species in the Brachytheciaceae. Although they are common in north temperate zones, they have not received monographic treatment in over a century. The aims of this study were to test species circumscriptions within the genus with molecular data, complete a thorough global taxonomic treatment of the genus, and to quantitatively investigate the ecological preferences of the species. A molecular phylogenetic study was conducted using 104 individuals spanning the range of morphological variation and the geographic extent of the genus. Maximum Parsimony and Bayesian phylogenetic analyses and a statistical parsimony network analysis of ITS and the chloroplast rps4, bsbA2 and trnG regions were performed. Although slight differences were found among analyses, there were six clear molecular groups. Five of these corresponded directly to the species Scleropodium californicum, S. cespitans, S. julaceum, S. obtusifolium and S. touretii. The sixth species, S. occidentale, is new to science and is described here. It is similar in ecology and morphology to S. obtusifolium, but has several diagnostic features in both molecular markers and morphological characters.

Siles. Sci. Natur., 68: 11-24, 2019. Abstract: A new bryophyte checklist for Afghanistan is presented, including all published records since the beginning of collection activities in 1839 ‒1840 by W. Griffith till present. Considering several unidentified collections in various herbaria, 23 new records for Afghanistan together with the collection data can be added to the flora. Beside a new genus, Asterella , the new records include Amblystegium serpens var. serpens, Brachythecium erythrorrhizon, Bryum dichotomum, B. elwendicum, B. pallens, B. weigelii, Dichodontium palustre, Didymodon luridus, D. tectorum, Distichium inclinatum, Entosthodon muhlenbergii, Hygroamblystegium fluviatile subsp. fluviatile, Oncophorus virens, Orthotrichum rupestre var. sturmii, Pogonatum urnigerum, Pseudocrossidium revolutum, Pterygoneurum ovatum, Schistidium rivulare, Syntrichia handelii, Tortella inflexa, T. tortuosa, and Tortula muralis subsp. obtusifolia . Therewith the number of species increase to 24 liverworts, 246 mosses and one hornwort. In addition, a historical overview of the country's exploration and a full biogeography of Afghan bryophytes is given. Key words: Bryophytes, checklist, flora, phytodiversity. Introduction Recording, documentation, identification and classification of organisms is a primary tool and essential step in plant sciences and ecology to obtain detailed knowledge on the flora of a country. In many countries, such as Afghanistan, however, our knowledge on plant diversity, function, interactions of species and number of species in ecosystems is very limited and far from being complete.

  • Exploring Diverse Conducting Elements with Habit Preference in Some Acrocarpous and Pleurocarpous Mosses: a Comparative Analysis
    International Journal of Research on Social and Natural Sciences Vol. I Issue 1 June 2016 ISSN (Online) 2455-5916 Journal Homepage: www.katwacollegejournal.com Exploring diverse conducting elements with habit preference in some acrocarpous and pleurocarpous mosses: A comparative analysis Shelly Sinha, Botany, Rabindra Mahavidyalaya, Hooghly, India Article Record: Received March 30 2016, Revised paper received May 21 2016, Final Acceptance June 3 2016 Available Online June 7 2016 Abstract Mosses are very successful flora with cosmopolitan distribution and harbour certain needs in respect to their niche constraints such as varied growth forms, diverse leaf cell configuration and systematic placement. Existence of a specific taxon reveals the detailed habit of an explicit area. This is mainly due to compact growth form, ability to retain moisture, endohydric or ectohydric type. The present study mainly focuses on fabrication of different conducting elements within two major orders of pleurocarpic mosses and acrocarpous mosses respectively, each showing wide occurrence in that specific selected area. Comparative studies elucidate that development and organisation of unspecialised water conducting cells manifest unique epiphytic habit dominance within the particular moss taxa whether being acrocarpic or pleurocarpic. Acrocarpous mosses with stable conducting components mostly confer either as terrestrial or lithophytes with turf or dendroid growth patterns. Paradoxically, one with less conducting elements shows epiphytic type being the pendants. Whereas, pleurocarpic mosses are mostly prostrate or creeping plants, dwell on wood with epiphytic selection. And those on rock and ground add new intertwining or overlaid growth each year to form mats. Therefore the habit preference is significantly correlated with wide distribution or formation of conducting elements both in leaves as well as in central axis.

Morphological comparisons and phylogenetic analysis based on chloroplast rbcL gene sequences supported our taxonomic treatment. Introduction Yakushimabryum longissimum was described from Yakushima Island, Japan by Akiyama et al. (2011). The type specimens of Y. longissimum and Gammiella touwii B.C.Tan, the latter a synonym of Gammiella tonkinensis (Broth. & Paris) B.C.Tan (Tan & Jia 1999), were compared. No morphological differences between these two species were found. To evaluate the morphological conclusions we undertook a phylogenetic analysis based on sequences of the chloroplast ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase large subunit (rbcL) gene.

  • Bryophyte Studies in Thailand: Past, Present, and Future
    Cryptogamie, Bryologie, 2014, 35 (1): 5-17 © 2014 Adac. Tous droits réservés Bryophyte Studies in Thailand: Past, Present, and Future Phiangphak SUKKHARAKa * & Sahut CHANTANAORRAPINT b a Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Burapha University, Mueang, 20131 Chonburi, Thailand b Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Prince of Songkla University, Hat Yai, 90110, Songkhla, Thailand Abstract – The historical development of bryophyte studies in Thailand is reviewed. Two historical periods are distinguished: the first period, 1899-1977, during which collections were made and studies were carried out by foreign botanists/bryologists in the framework of expeditions and the Flora of Thailand project; and the second one, 1977 to the present day, in which bryophyte work has been done mainly by Thai bryologists. In total, two species of hornworts, 20 of liverworts, and 63 of mosses have been described as new to science based on collections from Thailand. Of these, 48 are hitherto only known from Thailand and may be considered endemic to the country. Future work should focus more on taxonomic treatments of individual genera although further area-based research is also necessary. Bryophytes / hornworts / liverworts / mosses / Thailand INTRODUCTION Thailand, formerly known as Siam, is situated in Southeast Asia between 5-21°N and 97-106°E covering a total area of 513,115 square kilometres (Santisuk, 2007). The highest mountain in Thailand is Doi Inthanon, reaching 2,565 m asl. In the framework of the Flora of Thailand project the country has been divided into seven floristic or phytogeographical areas (Northern, North-eastern, Eastern, South-western, Central, South-eastern, Peninsular) (Smitinand, 1958).

(May 2006) Justin Wynns, B. A., University of California – Santa Cruz. M. S., Appalachian State University Thesis Chairperson: Zack Murrell The generic affinities of the aquatic moss genus Platyhypnidium were investigated by several analytic techniques: traditional light microscopy, phenetic analyses of dimensional measurements (Analysis of Variance and Principal Components Analysis), and phylogenetic analyses of morphological and molecular data. Ten rostrate-operculate Brachytheciaceae were closely studied. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the nuclear ribosomal DNA was used as a molecular marker in three of the phylogenetic analyses. Platyhypnidium, represented by P. riparioides, P. aquaticum, P. muelleri, P. fuegianum, and P. pringlei, was compared with five terrestrial species belonging to Rhynchostegium and Eurhynchium. The taxa studied did not form a monophyletic lineage within the family. Platyhypnidium itself was resolved as polyphyletic. Platyhypnidium aquaticum and P. riparioides are closely related to terrestrial species of Rhynchostegium.

  • Literature Cited Robert W. Kiger, Editor This Is a Consolidated List Of
    RWKiger 28 Feb 17 Literature Cited Robert W. Kiger, Editor This is a consolidated list of all works cited in volume 28, whether as selected references, in text, or in nomenclatural contexts. In citations of articles, both here and in the taxonomic treatments, and also in nomenclatural citations, the titles of serials are rendered in the forms recommended in G. D. R. Bridson and E. R. Smith (1991). When those forms are abbreviated, as most are, cross references to the corresponding full serial titles are interpolated here alphabetically by abbreviated form. In nomenclatural citations (only), book titles are rendered in the abbreviated forms recommended in F. A. Stafleu and R. S. Cowan (1976–1988) and Stafleu et al. (1992–2009). Here, those abbreviated forms are indicated parenthetically following the full citations of the corresponding works, and cross references to the full citations are interpolated in the list alphabetically by abbreviated form. Two or more works published in the same year by the same author or group of coauthors are distinguished uniquely and consistently throughout all volumes of Flora of North America by lower-case letters (b, c, d, ...) suffixed to the date for the second and subsequent works in the set. The suffixes are assigned in order of editorial encounter and do not reflect chronological sequence of publication. The first work by any particular author or group from any given year carries the implicit date suffix "a"; thus, the sequence of explicit suffixes begins with "b". Works missing from any suffixed sequence here are ones cited elsewhere in the Flora that are not pertinent in this volume.
