The bryophytes comprise three phyla of embryophytes that are well established to occupy
the first nodes among extant lineages in the land‐plant tree of life. The three bryophyte …

Results from our analysis of chloroplast trnL‐trnF and nuclear ITS1 and ITS2 sequence data
and 35 morphological characters for 134 taxa of pleurocarpous mosses provide an evidence …

Premise To address the biodiversity crisis, we need to understand the evolution of all
organisms and how they fill geographic and ecological space. Syntrichia is one of the most …

Molecular phylogenetic reconstructions of Rhabdoweisiaceae based on plastid (trnS-rps4
and trnL-F) and mitochondrial (nad5) DNA sequences and a comprehensive taxon sampling …

With about 1000 species in approximately 90 genera, Lejeuneaceae are the largest family of
liverworts and make up a large and important part of cryptogamic diversity in the humid …

The Hypnales are the largest order of mosses comprising approximately 4200 species.
Phylogenetic reconstruction within the group has proven to be difficult due to rapid radiation …

Phylogenetic analyses of the Hypnales usually show the same picture of poorly resolved
trees with a large number of polyphyletic taxa and low support for the few reconstructed …

Competing hypotheses that rely either on a step**‐stone dispersal via the North Atlantic
or the Bering land bridges, or more recent transoceanic dispersal, have been proposed to …

Bayesian analysis of an alignment of 83 nrITS sequences belonging to 66 taxa of Pottiaceae
revealed representatives of subfamily Trichostomoideae in a well supported monophyletic …

In mosses, separate and combined sexes are evolutionarily labile, yet factors selecting for
this variation are unknown. In this study, we investigate phylogenetic correlations between …
