Epiphytes in wooded pastures: Isolation matters for lichen but not for bryophyte species richness by Kiebacher, Thomas, Keller, Christine, Scheidegger, Christoph, Bergamini, Ariel

“…Sylvo-pastoral systems are species-rich man-made landscapes that are currently often severely threatened by abandonment or management intensification. At low…”

Intersectional polyphyly of the puzzling Scapania obcordata (Marchantiidae) suggests convergent evolution: resurrection and European occurrence of S. jensenii by Kiebacher, Thomas, Urmi, Edwin

“…We present an example of morphological convergence among two species of Scapania that were considered to be conspecific. We resurrect S. jensenii from synonymy…”
