Species Fact Sheet SPECIES FACT SHEET Common Name: Pleated earwort Scientific Name: Diplophyllum plicatum Lindb. Division: Marchantiophyta (incorrectly called Hepatophyta in U.S. government taxon databases (e.g., ITIS 2008); see Stotler and Crandall-Stotler 2008) Class: Jungermanniopsida Order: Jungermanniales Family: Scapaniaceae Taxonomic note: Diplophyllum plicatum is placed in the genus Scapania by Potemkin (1999). Technical Description: Relatively large plants, averaging 3.5–4 mm wide and 2–3 cm long when normally developed. The stems are little branched, forming a turf-like cushion on the substrate. Leaves in two rows, deeply bilobed, with the lobes folded and clasping the stem (complicate-bilobed). Underleaves lacking. Lobes of unequal size but similar shape, broadly lingulate, rounded at the apices, the dorsal lobe about one-third the length of the ventral lobe. Fold of the lobes keeled. Lobe margins finely denticulate. There is a well developed band of elongated cells (called a vitta) running down the center of each lobe from base to mid lobe. The median cells are large, greater than 20 µm wide; trigones are coarsely nodose. Gemmae cubic, with rounded edges (Doyle and Stotler 2006), not seen in regional material. Dioicous, with a perianth that is plicate and narrowed to the mouth; reproductive structures not known from Oregon material. Distinctive Characters: A large species with two rows of bilobed leaves. The lobes are long, angled away from the stem, and folded over each other. The upper, dorsal lobe is the smaller one. Fold of the leaf lobes is keeled, unlike other species of the genus. In the field the decurrent, dentate, wine red ventral leaf base is distinctive; to the naked eye it looks like a wavy red line running down the underside of the stem just below the apex. Similar species: This species stands out from its most common associate, Scapania bolanderi, by its pale green color and fine marginal dentition. The much more common Diplophyllum albicans has a vitta which is more prominent than that of Diplophyllum plicatum , easily seen in the field with a hand lens. Diplophyllum albicans is usually found on soil. Plagiochila porelloides may be found growing with D. plicatum. It is about the same size and often similar color. In the field the long decurrent, red toothed ventral lobe will distinguish D. plicatum from any look alike. Life History: This species is perennial, visible whenever the substrate is exposed. Published studies of life history traits in this particular species have 1 not been located. Most perennial liverworts have an active growing season that matches the rainy season of low elevations: October through May. Range, Distribution, and Abundance: A north Pacific species found along the western coast of North America, from California north to British Columbia, and Alaska through the Aleutians to Japan (Schofield et al., 2005). Strictly coastal in the southern part of the range. Relatively common in British Columbia and Washington, becoming scarce in Oregon and with a single record from California (Doyle and Stotler 2006). Oregon Natural Heritage Information Center lists the species as occurring in Clatsop, Coos, Douglas, Lane, Lincoln, and Tillamook Counties in Oregon. Reported from 18 localities on the Olympic Peninsula, Washington, counties unspecified (Hutten et al. 2005). Also known from Snohomish County, Washington (specimen in herbarium at Oregon State University). BLM: Documented in Coos Bay District. Suspected in Eugene, Salem, and Roseburg Districts. USFS: Documented in Siuslaw N.F. Suspected in Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. Suspected in all national forests covering the Olympic Mountains or the Cascade Mountains in Washington. Habitat Associations: Primarily on conifers, especially Picea sitchensis, but also on hardwoods such as Alnus rubra. The California record is from Sequoia sempervirens. Usually growing intermixed with other bryophytes such as Isothecium stoloniferum, Scapania bolanderi, and Plagiochila porelloides. Threats: Because most known sites are from mature or old-growth forests, the primary threats to this species are logging and other forest disturbing activities. It may also grow in habitats subject to "moss" harvest. Conservation Considerations: See Conservation Assessment by Fredericks and Sperling (2005). Consider managing areas around sites in old growth forests, when projects (specifically logging) are proposed nearby. Conservation Rankings and Status: Global: G4; Oregon: S2 ORNHIC List 2 Washington: Not ranked BLM/USFS Sensitive Species in Oregon 2 Other pertinent information: Survey Protocol: None.

    Arctoa (2013) 22: 145-149 SCAPANIA VERRUCOSA HEEG (SCAPANIACEAE, MARCHANTIOPHYTA) IN RUSSIA SCAPANIA VERRUCOSA HEEG (SCAPANIACEAE, MARCHANTIOPHYTA) В РОССИИ YURIY S. MAMONTOV1,2 & ALEXEY D. POTEMKIN3 ЮРИЙ С. МАМОНТОВ1,2, АЛЕКСЕЙ Д. ПОТЕМКИН3 Abstract Records of Scapania verrucosa from the Russian Far East have recently been considered as dubi- ous or erroneous. Revision of all available collections, however, confirms the older records and detects new localities in Primorsky Territory. All specimens from Magadan Province and Khabarovsk Terri- tory were transferred to S. microdonta. Thus, it is shown that in Russia S. verrucosa sporadically occurs only in the southern Far East and the Caucasus. Description and illustrations of S. verrucosa are provided, and examined specimens are listed. Резюме Новые находки S. verrucosa в Приморском крае и сомнительность ее более ранних идентификаций на Дальнем Востоке потребовали ревизии всех доступных дальневосточных коллекций. Для уточнения распространения вида в России были дополнительно изучены материалы с Кавказа. В результате показано, что S. verrucosa спорадически встречается в Приморском крае и на Кавказе. Все образцы в LE из Магаданской области и Хабаровского края, определенные ранее как S. verrucosa, относятся к S. microdonta. Приводятся описание и иллюстрации S. verrucosa, а также отличия oт S. microdonta и S. sphaerifera. KEYWORDS: Scapania verrucosa, S. microdonta, S. sphaerifera, taxonomy, new record, Russia, description, illustration.

  • Liverworts of the Wellington Area J
    Liverworts of the Wellington Area J. E. Braggins1 LIVERWORT FEATURES Liverworts are plants similar in many ways to mosses: they are usually small, and generally lack the hard supporting tissues of larger plants such as ferns. Like ferns, liverworts show alternation of generations, having separate gametophyte and sporophyte entities; unlike ferns the sporophyte is not a separate plant. As with mosses, the gametophyte generation is the dominant phase of the life cy- cle, and the sporophyte generation is permanently dependent on it. Liverworts show a greater range in general morphology and form than mosses, and as well as normal leafy plants, there are dozens of species of thalloid liverworts that lack organisation into stems and leaves. The most striking differences between mosses and liverworts are in the sporophytes where liverworts have a simple outer wall lacking the peristome of mosses, and in the capsule which usually splits into four valves to release the spores. Mixed amongst the spores are hair- like elaters, which flick and twist as they dry out, helping to throw the spores clear. The stalk that bears the capsule (the seta) remains short until the capsule is mature, then, by cell elongation, it expands rapidly to its full size. Thus, the expanded seta of a liverwort is a delicate translucent structure, not tough and wiry like a moss seta which elongates slowly by cell growth. The vegetative parts of leafy liverworts differ from mosses in details of cell shape, contents, leaf structure (liverwort leaves lack a central nerve or vein), shape (liverwort leaves are rarely markedly elongate but are often complexly lobed) and position.

NADEZDA A. KONSTANTINOVA1 & ANNA A. VILNET1 1Polar-Alpine Botanical Garden–Institute RAS, 184256, Kirovsk, Russia, email: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract The new species Jungermannia calcicola Konstant. et Vilnet, is described based on a critical reinvestigation of morphologi- cal features and molecular analyses of trnL–trnF and trnG intron cpDNA sequences of forty samples of Jungermannia s. str. The new species is described and illustrated as well as noting its differentiation from allied species and distribution patterns. New data on some taxonomical ambiguities and on the taxa delimitation in the Jungermannia s. str. are discussed. Key words: Jungermannia calcicola sp. nov., liverworts, taxonomy, molecular systematics, distribution Introduction Jungermannia Linnaeus (1753: 1131) is one of the oldest described genera of leafy liverworts. Since its description the treatment of this genus has been drastically changed. At the end of the 20th to the beginning of the 21st centuries most bryologists accepted Jungermannia in the wide sense including Solenostoma Mitten (1865a: 51), Plectocolea (Mitten 1865b: 156) Mitten (1873: 405), Liochlaena Nees in Gottsche et al. (1845: 150). But in recent molecular phylogenetic studies Jungermannia s. lat. has been proved to be a mixture of phylogenetically unrelated taxa, some of which have been elevated to distinct families, e.g., Solenostomataceae Stotler et Crand.-Stotl.

  • 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.

    American Journal of Botany 98(6): 998–1006. 2011. A NEW FAMILY OF LEAFY LIVERWORTS FROM THE MIDDLE EOCENE OF VANCOUVER ISLAND, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA 1 Christopher M. Steenbock 2 , Ruth A. Stockey 3, Graham Beard 4 , and Alexandru M. F. Tomescu 2,5 2 Department of Biological Sciences, Humboldt State University, Arcata, California 95521 USA; 3 Department of Biological Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta T6G 2E9, Canada; and 4 Vancouver Island Paleontology Museum, Qualicum Beach, British Columbia V9K 1K7, Canada • Premise of the study: Morphology is a refl ection of evolution, and as the majority of biodiversity that has lived on Earth is now extinct, the study of the fossil record provides a more complete picture of evolution. This study investigates anatomically pre- served bryophyte fossils from the Eocene Oyster Bay Formation of Vancouver Island. While the bryophyte fossil record is limited in general, anatomically preserved bryophytes are even more infrequent; thus, the Oyster Bay bryophytes are a particu- larly signifi cant addition to the bryophyte fossil record. • Methods: Fossils occur in two marine carbonate nodules collected from the Appian Way locality on the eastern shore of Van- couver Island, British Columbia, and were prepared using the cellulose acetate peel technique. • Key results: The fossils exhibit a novel combination of characters unknown among extinct and extant liverworts: (1) three- ranked helical phyllotaxis with underleaves larger than the lateral leaves; (2) fascicled rhizoids associated with the leaves of all three ranks; (3) Anomoclada -type endogenous branching. • Conclusions: A new liverwort family, Appianacae fam. nov., is established based upon the novel combination of characters.
