Biogeography, systematics and taxonomy are complementary scientific disciplines. To
understand a species' origin, migration routes, distribution and evolutionary history, it is first …

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 …

Mosses of the subfamily Orthotrichoideae represent one of the main components of the
cryptogam epiphytic communities in temperate areas. During the last two decades, this …

Phylogenomic data increase the possibilities of resolving the evolutionary and systematic
relationships among taxa. This is especially valuable in groups with few and homoplasious …

The moss family Orthotrichaceae is still poorly known in the southern extreme of South
America. This is especially true regarding the morphological variability, geographical …

Orthotrichoideae aggregates epiphytic mosses widespread throughout temperate regions
and high tropical mountains of the world. Recently, important advances have been made in …

Broad morphological variation and a complex taxonomic history suggest that Orthotrichum
consimile, an epiphytic moss known from oceanic forests of western North America and …

Ulota drummondii (Hook. & Grev.) Brid. is a Suboceanic Boreal-montane epiphytic moss
whose disjunct distribution includes both coasts of North America, East Asia, as well as …

Abstract The genus Zygodon Hook. & Taylor is revised for southern South America (Andean-
Patagonian and Fuegian regions). Thirteen taxa (twelve species and one variety) are …

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