Optimizing DNA extraction protocols for bryophytes: Insights from Orthotrichaceae
Abstract Premise Extracting high‐quality DNA from challenging plant tissues can be hindered by high levels of phenolics, carbohydrates, and other compounds that bind to or coprecipitate with DNA. Bryophytes, due to their small size, tendency to intermix, biochemical richness, and capacity to absorb…

Insights Into the Evolutionary History of the Subfamily Orthotrichoideae (Orthotrichaceae, Bryophyta): New and Former Supra-Specific Taxa So Far Obscured by Prevailing Homoplasy
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 taxonomical group has undergone an extensive revision that has led to its rearrangement at the generic level. However, their…

Reinstatement of the Patagonian moss Ulota glabella Mitt. (Bryophyta, Orthotrichaceae)
In 1842, J.D. Hooker collected a number of mosses on Hermite Island (Cape Horn region). From one of those gatherings, Hooker 141, four species of Ulota have been described: U. luteola, U. fuegiana, U. glabella, and U. eremitensis. The first two species are widely accepted, whereas the identity of…

Codonoblepharonteae, a New Major Lineage among Orthotrichoideae (Orthotrichaceae, Bryophyta)
Orthotrichoideae aggregates epiphytic mosses widespread throughout temperate regions and high tropical mountains of the world. Recently, important advances have been made in elucidating its phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary patterns. Fourteen genera are currently recognized within the…

An NGS-Based Phylogeny of Orthotricheae (Orthotrichaceae, Bryophyta) With the Proposal of the New Genus Rehubryum From Zealandia
Phylogenomic data increase the possibilities of resolving the evolutionary and systematic relationships among taxa. This is especially valuable in groups with few and homoplasious morphological characters, in which systematic and taxonomical delimitations have been traditionally difficult. Such is…

Phylogenetic Insights from a Novel Rehubryum Species Challenge Generic Boundaries in Orthotrichaceae
In recent years, phylogenomic approaches have significantly deepened our understanding of moss diversity. These techniques have uncovered numerous previously overlooked species and provided greater clarity in resolving complex taxonomic relationships. In this context, the genus Rehubryum is…

Unveiling the diversification and dispersal of the Lewinskya firma complex (Orthotrichaceae, Bryophyta) across Africa and India
Intercontinental disjunctions are one of the most attractive and interesting biogeographical patterns. Bryophytes often exhibit such distributions, which is partly explained by their great ability to disperse over long distances. However, such intercontinental ranges are sometimes a distorted…

The long journey of Orthotrichum shevockii (Orthotrichaceae, Bryopsida): From California to Macaronesia
Biogeography, systematics and taxonomy are complementary scientific disciplines. To understand a species’ origin, migration routes, distribution and evolutionary history, it is first necessary to establish its taxonomic boundaries. Here, we use an integrative approach that takes advantage of…

Prevalence of Substance Use in Northwest Syria: A Cross-Sectional Study
ObjectivesSyria has undergone significant socio-political turmoil since 2011 as internal conflict displaced portions of the population, destroyed infrastructure, and destabilized the economy. In the context of multilevel healthcare system disruptions, there have been increasing reports of substance…

eBryoSoil: a citizen science application to monitor changes in soil ecosystems
Abstract Biological soil covers (BSCs) play a pivotal role in ecosystem functioning by enhancing soil stability, mediating nutrient cycling, and influencing soil hydrology. Recognized as ecosystem engineers, they can physically modify, maintain, or create habitats, facilitating plant community…

ERGA-BGE reference genome of Lewinskya acuminata, a common epiphytic Mediterranean moss with disjunct populations in California and Ethiopia [version 1; peer review: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations]
The reference genome of Lewinskya acuminata (H. Philib.) F. Lara, Garilleti & Goffinet will enable phylogenomic, biogeographic, and evolutionary studies within the Orthotrichaceae and related bryophyte lineages at a depth previously inaccessible. This species of moss is among the most…

The database of the PREDICTS (Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems) project
Abstract The PREDICTS project—Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems (https://www.nhm.ac.uk/our-science/our-work/biodiversity/predicts.html)—has collated from published studies a large, reasonably representative database of comparable samples of biodiversity…
