Cryptic bryophyte species exhibit a decoupling in the degree of morphological and
molecular divergence, as a result of different processes, from recent divergence to stasis …

The paucity of the bryophyte fossil record has often been blamed on low preservation
potential. To address this perception, we (1) summarize data demonstrating that bryophytes …

The number of available liverwort fossils substantially increased within the past decade,
which is mainly due to new findings from Cretaceous and Cenozoic amber deposits. Many of …

The avoidance of detection by predators and parasites is critical to survival. Two complex
mechanisms for such avoidance are mimicry and camouflage, with fossils providing …

DNA-based analyses as well as the fossil record indicate that liverworts date back to the
early Paleozoic, but diverse specimens of lifelike three-dimensional fossils only occur as …

The most prolific source of exquisitely preserved bryophyte fossils is amber, which often
contains inclusions in a three-dimensional and life-like state of preservation. In recent years …

Molecular phylogenetic analyses indicate that during the Cretaceous Terrestrial Revolution
(KTR) around 125–80 Ma, the rapid rise and radiation of angiosperms probably triggered …

With more than 300 extant species, Frullaniaceae represent a species-rich clade of the
predominantly epiphytic order Porellales, occurring in humid tropical and subtropical forests …

An inclusion in Cretaceous amber from Myanmar is described as a new fossil species in the
extant liverwort genus Frullania. The name Frullania pinnata is proposed for the taxon that is …

Hymenophyllaceae (filmy ferns), with ca. 430 species, are the most species-rich family of
early diverging leptosporangiate ferns but have a poor fossil record dating back to the Late …
