The impact of climate change on biodiversity operates through a complex mixture of habitat loss and range shift through the emergence of newly suitable areas(Warren et al.,2013).The main question is therefore to deter...
Three new fossil bryophytes are described from Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous deposits of the Transbaikalia region of Russia. The complex thalloid hepatic Khasurtythallus monosolenioides gen. et sp. nov. belongs to the...
To test the premise that fertilization distances in bryophytes are limited by spermatozoid motility, we measured the distances between over 80?000 male and female thalli of Marchantia polymorpha on heathland over 2 su...

Sequencing the plastid genomes of land plants provides crucial improvements to our understanding of the plastome evolution of land plants. Although the number of available complete plastid genome sequences has rapidly...
We thank Stuart McDaniel and an anonymous reviewer for extremely helpful comments on the manuscript, and the German Science Foundation for funding of our work on plant sex chromosomes (DFG RE-603/19-1).
The three bryophyte lineages have long-lived gametophytes that are either bisexual, producing both male- and female gametes, or sexually specialized and then producing only one type of gamete. Phylogenies suggest repe...
It remains unclear whether the latitudinal diversity gradients of micro- and macro-organisms are driven by the same macro-environmental variables. We used the newly completed species catalog and distribution informati...

More than 200 research papers on the molecular phylogeny and phylogenetic biogeography ofbryophytes have been published since the beginning of this millenium. These papers corroborated assumptions of a complex genetic...
