Bryophytes include about 20,000 species characterized by their poikilohydric condition, high
long-distance dispersal capacities, and cold tolerance. Despite these specific life-history …

Introduction. Following on from work on the European bryophyte Red List, the taxonomically
and nomenclaturally updated spreadsheets used for that project have been expanded into a …

Abstract The European Red List is a review of the status of European species according to
IUCN regional Red Listing guidelines. It identifies those species that are threatened with …

The bryophyte flora of Italy sums up 1191 species, 18 subspecies and 35 varieties. Among
them, hornworts and liverworts are represented by 297 species, 5 subspecies and 4 …

We explored the influence of climatic factors on diversity patterns of multiple taxa (lichens,
bryophytes, and vascular plants) along a steep elevational gradient to predict communities' …

The combined use of morphological and molecular analyses has been proven to be useful
in resolving taxonomic complexes with hidden diversity. In bryology, however, integrative …

The taxonomy of pleurocarpous mosses has long been based on a few key characters such
as the presence or absence of a single costa or the posture of the leaves. Molecular …

Oceanic islands are of fundamental importance for the conservation of biodiversity because
they exhibit high endemism rates coupled with fast extinction rates. Nowhere in Europe is …

Plants in the collection were scattered among other bryophytes, light green, up to 13 mm
long and 1.9 mm wide, with intercalary branching. Underleaves were absent and rhizoids …

Understanding how species assemble into communities is a central issue in community
ecology. So far, most studies have focused on the assembly mechanisms of vascular plant …
