Bryophyte biogeography
J Patiño, A Vanderpoorten - Critical Reviews in Plant Sciences, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
Bryophytes include about 20,000 species characterized by their poikilohydric condition, high
long-distance dispersal capacities, and cold tolerance. Despite these specific life-history …

Conservation and restoration of plant–animal mutualisms on oceanic islands
Islands harbour much of the world's threatened biodiversity. Recent work has highlighted
how it is not species diversity per se but rather the interactions between organisms that …
