In this contribution, new data concerning bryophytes, fungi, and lichens of the Italian flora are presented. It includes records confirmations for bryophyte genera Aneura , Aulacomnium Dumortiera Fossombronia Hennediella Hygrohypnella Pohlia Porella Riccardia Tortella Tortula fungal Cortinarius Mycena Naucoria Trichoglossum Tubaria lichen Agonimia Blastenia Chaenotheca Cladonia Endocarpon Gyale...

The genus Tortula includes about 114 species in the world and 18 species were found in Iran. In the present paper, T. vahliana (Schultz) Mont. is reported for the first time from Iran.

Weibull, H. 2000. Bryophytes on boulders diversity, habitat preferences and conservation aspects. Doctor’s dissertation. ISSN 1401-6230, ISBN 91-576-5893-5 The influence of different overstorey tree species on the floristic composition of bryophytes growing on boulders was studied in two deciduous forests. Covering tree species and amount of litter were the factors explaining most of the variat...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Active growth in post-embryonic sporophytes of desert mosses is restricted to the cooler, wetter months. However, most desert mosses have perennial gametophytes. It is hypothesized that these life history patterns are due, in part, to a reduced desiccation tolerance for sporophytes relative to gametophytes. METHODS Gametophytes with attached post-embryonic sporophytes of T...

In this study, we investigated whether cardinal directions affect the distribution of bdelloid rotifers or not, in order to contribute to the studies will be carried out determining the distribution patterns of microorganisms. Thus, we examined species composition and abundance of bdelloid rotifers living on 10 cm of lichen samples which was collected from the east and north sides and from top ...
