It is found that large expansions of gene families preceded the origins of green plants, land plants and vascular plants, whereas whole-genome duplications are inferred to have occurred repeatedly throughout the evolution of flowering plants and ferns.

The first-ever worldwide checklist for liverworts and hornworts is presented that includes 7486 species in 398 genera representing 92 families from the two phyla, providing a valuable tool for taxonomists and systematists, analyzing phytogeographic and diversity patterns, aiding in the assessment of floristic and taxonomic knowledge, and identifying geographical gaps.

Overall estimates of net species diversification are approximately half those reported in ferns and ∼30% those described for angiosperms, and statistical rate analyses reveal that mosses and liverworts underwent bursts of diversification since the mid-Mesozoic.

The genetic structure of F. asagrayana in eastern North America reflects morphologically cryptic differentiation between reproductively isolated groups of populations, near-panmixis within groups, and clonal propagation at local scales.

The status and phylogeography of the liverwort genus Apometzgeria Kuwah. (Metzgeriaceae)

- 3 May 2011
Phylogenetic and haplotype analyses reveal a lack of phylogeographic structure among A. pubescens plants from throughout its Holarctic distribution, and support Apometzgeria as a separate genus in the Metzgeriaceae.
