Genetic variation in the clonal bryophyte Hylocomium splendens at hierarchical geographical scales in Scandinavia

Clonal structure and genet-level sex ratios suggest different roles of vegetative and sexual reproduction in the clonal moss Hylocomium splendens

phylogeography and genetic diversity of the lesser mouse- eared bat (myotis blythii) in iran

in current study, 63 samples of bat populations collected from differ regions were used for evaluating the geographic variations. twenty cranial and dental characters for traditional morphometric and landmarks method on the ventral, dorsal skull and mandible for geometry morphometric studies were used. statistical analyses of traditional morphometric and geometry morphometric data indicated low...

A New Biflavone and Further Flavonoids from the Moss Hylocomium splendens

Whereas many reports now exist on flavonoids of liverworts only few publications are concerned with the flavonoid pattern of mosses [1—5]. The detection of an apigenin 7-O-rhamnoglucoside from H yloco­ mium splendens was reported [6]. Screening chroma­ tograms of samples of H. splendens collected at about 20 different localities showed however a much richer flavonoid pattern as supposed previou...

Physiological responses of bryophytes Thuidium tamariscinum and Hylocomium splendens to increased nitrogen deposition.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Increased levels of nitrogen (N) deposition lead to enhanced N contents and reduced productivity of many bryophyte species. This study aimed at elucidating the mechanisms by which enhanced N uptake may cause growth reduction of bryophytes, focusing on the effects of N addition on carbon (C) metabolism of bryophytes. METHODS Plantlets of Thuidium tamariscinum and Hylocomium...

Natural Scales in Geographical Patterns

Human mobility is known to be distributed across several orders of magnitude of physical distances, which makes it generally difficult to endogenously find or define typical and meaningful scales. Relevant analyses, from movements to geographical partitions, seem to be relative to some ad-hoc scale, or no scale at all. Relying on geotagged data collected from photo-sharing social media, we appl...
