The S Iberian Peninsula and NW Africa constitute one of the main hotspots for plant
biodiversity within the Mediterranean Basin. At the core of this hotspot, across the Strait of …

Bryophytes were a pivotal step in land plant evolution, and their significance in the
regulation of ecosystems and the conservation of biodiversity is becoming increasingly …

Bryophyte Biology provides an extensive overview of the hornworts, liverworts, and mosses;
diverse groups of land plants that occupy a great variety of habitats throughout the world …

A central aim of biogeography is to understand when and how modern patterns of species
diversity and distribution developed. Many plant groups have disjunct distributions within the …

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 …

Abstract The California Floristic Province (CFP) is an area of high biodiversity and
endemism corresponding roughly to the portion of western North America having a …

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 …

More than 200 research papers on the molecular phylogeny and phylogenetic
biogeography of bryophytes have been published since the beginning of this millenium …

The IUCN Red List is recognised as a robust system for assessing the risk of extinction to
organisms, but there are difficulties in applying the criteria to bryophytes and other clonal …
