The moss timetree shows lineage origin at ~380 million years (Ma) ago, the split between Haplolepidae and Diplolepidae at 220–195 Ma, and appearance of the fi rst pleurocarp lineages at ~173 Ma. Major diversifi cation occurred in the Cretaceous, 140–90 Ma. Mosses are photosynthetic plants that exhibit a wide range of morphologies, based on the life cycle of alterna- tion of haploid and diploid generations. 7 e gametophyte generation starts with haploid spores that develop into threadlike protonema, from which grow erect or creep- ing axes usually up to a few centimeters tall. 7 e plants are oJ en branched, with leaves that are mostly one cell thick and usually radially arranged (Fig. 1). 7 ey form small cushions, velvety swards, open turfs, tuJ s, or deep mats. Long-lived clonal growth and specialized vegeta- tive reproduction are common and widespread, with sex- ual reproduction rare or unknown in some taxa. Plants are male or female, or bisexual, with various diB erent arrangements of gametangia. Male and female gametan- gia are distinct, with a basic morphology common to all mosses (and to most of the early-diverging land-plant lin- eages) but with variation in some groups. Motile sperm- atozoa travel though surface water to fertilize sedentary eggs. 7 e resulting diploid embryo grows into a sporo- Fig. 1 Wall screw-moss (Tortula muralis) from a brick wall in phyte that is largely dependent on the gametophyte, with Richmond, England.

K. cDepartment of Biology, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina 27708 dAuthor for Correspondence ( [email protected]) Abstract The haplolepideous mosses (Dicranidae) constitute a large group of ecologically and morphologically diverse species recognised primarily by having peristome teeth with a single row of cells on the dorsal surface. The reduction of sporophytes in numerous moss lineages renders circumscription of the Dicranidae problematic. Delimitation of genera and higher taxa within it has also been difficult. We analyse chloroplast-encoded rps4 gene sequences for 129 mosses, including representatives of nearly all the haplolepideous families and subfamilies, using parsimony, likelihood and Bayesian criteria. The data set includes 59 new sequences generated for this study. With the exception of Bryobartramia, which falls within the Encalyptaceae, the Dicranidae are resolved in all analyses as a monophyletic group including the extremely reduced Archidiales and Ephemeraceae. The monotypic Catoscopium, usually assigned to the Bryidae is consistently resolved as sister to Dicranidae, and this lineage has a high posterior probability under the Bayesian criterion. Within the Dicranidae, a core clade is resolved that comprises most of the species sampled, and all analyses identify a proto-haplolepideous grade of taxa previously placed in various haplolepideous families.

A total of 63 taxa belonging to Bryophyta (22 families 37 genera 44 species), Marchantiophyta (7 families 11 genera 18 species), and Antho- cerotophyta (1 family 1 genus 1 species) were determined, and the liverwort index was 30.2%. The predominant life form was the mat form. The rates of bryophytes dominating in mesic to hygric sites were higher than the bryophytes mainly observed in xeric habitats. These values indicate that such forests are widespread in this study area. Moreover, the rock was the substrate type, which plays a major role in providing micro-habitats for bryophytes. We suggest that more detailed studies of the bryophyte flora should be conducted on a regional scale to provide basic data for selecting indicator species of Gotjawal and evergreen broad-leaved forests on Jejudo Island. Keywords: bryophyte, Aewol Gotjawal, liverwort index, life-form Jejudo Island was formed by volcanic activities and has geological, ecological, and cultural aspects (Jeong et al., 2013; unique topological and geological features.

The incomplete preservation and lack of key characters that could define the position of an ancient moss in modern classification remain the problem. Carboniferous records are still impossible to refer to any of the modern moss taxa. Numerous Permian protosphagnalean mosses possess traits that are absent in any extant group and they are therefore treated here as an extinct lineage, whose descendants, if any remain, cannot be recognized among contemporary taxa. Non-protosphagnalean Permian mosses were also fairly diverse, representing morphotypes comparable with Dicranidae and acrocarpous Bryidae, although unequivocal representatives of these subclasses are known only since Cretaceous and Jurassic. Even though Sphagnales is one of two oldest lineages separated from the main trunk of moss phylogenetic tree, it appears in fossil state regularly only since Late Cretaceous, ca.

Among these, F. asperisetus var. andamanensis Gangulee is new to central Indian bryogeographical region while F. ceylonensis and F. involutus are new to PBR. The species scatter at various localities of the PBR, mostly terrestrial, but with a single epiphytic species of F. taxifolius.

ИГНАТОВ1,2 Abstract An integrative molecular and morphological study of the genus Hedwigia in Russia revealed at least five distinct species in its territory. Hedwigia czernyadjevae sp. nov. appears to have a wide distribution in Transbaikalia, Yakutia and high mountains of the Russian Far East, although it never occurs frequently. Previously its specimens were identified as H. stellata, but straight leaf apices, strongly incrassate and porose laminal cells and hairy calyptrae differentiate H. czernyadjevae from this species, in addition to sequence data, which place the Siberian species closer to American H. detonsa. Hedwigia nemoralis sp. nov. occurs in southern regions of Russia, from the Caucasus to the Russian Far East, with one locality in Central European Russia. It was also revealed from eastern North America. It is characterized by a small plant size, shortly acuminate, secund leaves with short, denticulate hyaline hair points and weakly ciliate perichaetial leaves. Hedwigia mollis sp. nov. has shortly recurved leaf margins, weakly sinuose laminal cells and spores 20–25(–28) m. It was re- vealed in European Russia, from the southern Murmansk Province and Karelia to the Caucasus, and from South Urals and Altai Mts. Hedwigia ciliata is infrequent in Russia, occurring mainly in the North-Western European Russia, with few localities in its central part.

Biodiversity Data Journal 7: e32307. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.7.e32307 Abstract Background This study produced a dataset containing information on moss occurrences in the territory of Yugyd Va National Park, located in the Subpolar and Northern Urals, European North- East Russia. The dataset summarises occurrences noted by long-term bryological explorations in remote areas of the Subpolar and Northern Urals from 1943 to 2015 and from studies published since 1915. The dataset consists of 4,120 occurrence records. The occurrence data were extracted from herbarium specimen labels (3,833 records) and data from published literature (287 records). Most of the records (4,104) are georeferenced. A total of 302 moss taxa belonging to 112 genera and 36 families are reported herein to occur in Yugyd Va National Park. The diversity of bryophytes in this National Park has not yet been fully explored and further exploration will lead to more taxa.
