Bryophyte Studies and Records

Homology of the dark cells of Paleozoic liverworts with the specialized oil body cells of modern liverworts (Marchantiophyta)

The paper compares dark cells in Paleozoic liverworts with oil body cells in modern liverworts, finding they are homologous structures with similar distribution and function.

Spatial Phylogenetics with Continuous Data: an Application to California Bryophytes

This paper applies smooth spatial phylogenetic methods to California bryophytes to analyze diversity and conservation value without categorizing continuous data.

Aridity and coexistence with vascular plants determine the dynamics of coastal dune bryophyte communities

This study examines how aridity and interactions with vascular plants influence coastal dune bryophyte communities and predicts their response to climate change.

Reference BioImaging to assess the phenotypic trait diversity of bryophytes within the family Scapaniaceae

The paper presents a high-quality reference dataset of macro- and microscopic images of Scapaniaceae bryophytes with FAIR metadata and documentation for biodiversity research.

Draft genome of the aquatic moss Fontinalis antipyretica (Fontinalaceae, Bryophyta)

The paper reports the draft nuclear genome of the aquatic moss Fontinalis antipyretica, sequenced and assembled using 10x Genomics, with a scaffold N50 of 38.8 kb and 89.4% BUSCO coverage.

Peripatric speciation associated with genome expansion and female-biased sex ratios in the moss genus Ceratodon

The paper examines genetic and genome size diversity in Mediterranean Ceratodon populations to assess the role of allopatry and ploidy change in speciation, finding evidence of peripatric speciation with genome expansion and female-biased sex ratios.
