Clonality, local population structure and gametophyte sex ratios in cryptic species of the <i>Sphagnum magellanicum</i> complex Open
Background and Aims Sphagnum (peatmoss) comprises a moss (Bryophyta) clade with ~300–500 species. The genus has unparalleled ecological importance because Sphagnum-dominated peatlands store almost a third of the terrestrial carbon pool and…

Sphagnum diabolicum sp. nov. and S. magniae sp. nov.; morphological variation and taxonomy of the “S. magellanicum complex” Open
Until a few years ago, Sphagnum magellanicum was understood to be a single widespread species with an intercontinental range. Recent work by Norwegian sphagnologists showed that S. magellanicum s.str. is restricted to southern South Americ…

Population Genomics and Conservation of <i>Erigenia bulbosa</i> (Apiaceae), an Edge-of-Range Species in Pennsylvania Open
Premise of the Research: Erigenia bulbosa, or the harbinger of spring, is one of the earliest-blooming wildflowers in eastern North America. As a spring ephemeral of forests and woodlands, it is a common species throughout the Midwest. In …

Investigation into the Genetic Provenance of Three Rare Plants with East-West Disjunction Patterns in Pennsylvania. Open
Rare plant conservation relies on an understanding of the natural history, biology and ecology, and real and potential threats to their populations to inform state regulations that serve to protect the species from extirpation. This work o…

The hidden Heuchera: How science Twitter uncovered a globally imperiled species in Pennsylvania, USA Open
The genus Heuchera is recognized as one of the most diverse endemic radiations of Saxifragaceae in North America, yet species delimitation and geographic distribution within the group remain controversial. Many species remain difficult to …

Permanent spore dyads are not ‘a thing of the past’: on their occurrence in the liverwort<i>H</i><i>aplomitrium</i>(Haplomitriopsida) Open
The liverwort Haplomitrium gibbsiae is shown to regularly produce spores released in the form of permanent dyad pairs. Developmental studies indicate that the dyads are produced via a unique half-lobed configuration of the developing sporo…
