Bryophytes (mosses, liverworts, hornworts) typically have broad geographical distributions
that span two or more continents. Many species show classic patterns of disjunction that are …

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

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

Molecular phylogenetics has been of prime importance in revisiting traditional taxonomic
hypotheses, and this is especially true in taxa with reduced morphologies like bryophytes …

Phylogenetic analyses of infraspecific molecular data in relation to geographic and
ecological information has come to be known as phylogeography. Bryophytes offer fertile …

The era of big biodiversity data has led to rapid, exciting advances in the theoretical and
applied biological, ecological and conservation sciences. While large genetic, geographic …

In spite of the more general distribution of many bryophytes, dramatic disjunctions exist,
many of them similar to those shown by vascular plants. Various explanations have been …

This paper examines the theoretical and practical status of species relative to two major
issues: the recognition of the importance of epigenetic constraints in evolution and the rise of …

Two major disjunctions are recognized between the bryofloras of Europe and North
America: Amphi-Atlantic and Western Europe—Western North America. Each of these has …

A long‐standing debate in bryophyte biogeography concerns the frequency of long‐distance
spore dispersal. The diversity of bryophytes on mortared rock walls along the Veterans …
