Traditionally, taxonomic identification has relied upon morphological characters. In the last
two decades, molecular tools based on DNA sequences of short standardised gene …

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 …

Cryptic bryophyte species exhibit a decoupling in the degree of morphological and
molecular divergence, as a result of different processes, from recent divergence to stasis …

Management of non-indigenous invasive species (NIS) is challenging owing in part to
limitations of early detection and identification. The advent of environmental DNA (eDNA) …

As a framework for revisionary study of the leafy liverwort Plagiochila in Australia, two
methods for species delimitation on molecular sequence data, General Mixed Yule …

Aneura pinguis is a thalloid liverwort species with broad geographical distribution. It is
composed of cryptic species, however, the number of cryptic species within A. pinguis is not …

Organellar genomes of liverworts are considered as one of the most stable among plants,
with rare events of gene loss and structural rearrangements. However, not all lineages of …

The strikingly lower number of bryophyte species, and in particular of endemic species, and
their larger distribution ranges in comparison with angiosperms, have traditionally been …

Background Lejeunea is a largely epiphytic, subcosmopolitan liverwort genus with a
complex taxonomic history. Species circumscriptions and their relationships are subject to …

A fundamental challenge to our understanding of biodiversity is to explain why some groups
of species diversify, whereas others do not. On islands, the gradual evolution of a new …
