“…However, in our study we did not nd any clear indication that the surveyed bog pools with S. fallax were more oligotrophic compared to pools lled with other Sphagnum species, meaning that the reason behind our observed results is still not fully clear. Despite this, our results on the impact from Sphagnum species on the presence of S. arctica are likely an indicator of a potential new environmental determinant on the habitat selection of this wetland specialist and could potentially explain the patterns observed in the distribution of S. arctica in the UK, as certain species of Sphagnum are not found, or at least are less common in the southern portion of the Scotland where S. arctica is also currently absent (Blockeel et al, 2014;Blockeel et al, 2021).…”

Odonates are widely considered to be bioindicators of freshwater habitat quality. Somatochlora arctica (Corduliidae) are commonly found across Eurasia, predominantly North and Central Europe, but in the UK, they is listed as near threatened and currently restricted to few areas of Scotland despite a large, potential habitat availability. Across their range their larvae are commonly found in Sphagnum-filled bog pools nearby coniferous woodlands, but detailed data on their habitat preferences are limited which inhibits conservation efforts. We designed a survey targeting 3 known, but geographically distinct, S. arctica locations in Scotland: Abernethy & Loch Garten National Nature Reserve (NNR), Beinn Eighe NNR and Flanders Moss NNR to evaluate how different environmental factors (e.g. water depth and chemistry, bryophyte species and coverage, woodland distance, etc.) affect the presence and abundance of S. arctica. We found pools that were located far from woodlands (i.e. >50m) had a lower presence of S. arctica and that S. arctica was mostly found in pools with high densities of Sphagnum coverage (> 90%). Our results highlight the importance of nearby woodlands and Sphagnum quantity and potentially species type for different life stages of S. arctica. Future conservation projects should consider the proximity of woodland to current and restored S.arctica sites or promoting expansion of surrounding natural woodland patches in order to benefit S.arctica and potentially other odonates.

“…Acaulon mediterraneum es un musgo acrocárpico con una estrategia vital fugitiva presente especialmente en la cuenca mediterránea occidental, pero con registros verificados en otras regiones de Europa como la costa balcánica (Sabovljević et al 2008), Escandinavia (Hassel 2003) o las Islas Británicas (Blockeel et al 2021). Además, se ha citado en Canarias (González-Mancebo et al 2007), Australia (Stone 1988) y California (Toren 2015).…”

Taxonomic revision of the Plagiothecium curvifolium complex

2022

Supported by the examination of specimens from the entire range and by the analysis of type specimens and the diagnosis of individual names, morphological and genetic studies of the Plagiothecium curvifolium complex resulted in the conclusion that this taxon should be recognized as four separate taxa. In addition to P. curvifolium s.str., there is a variety that is proposed as a new combination–P. curvifolium var. recurvum; resurrection of the forgotten P. decursivifolium; and the description of a new species–P. imbricatum. The features that distinguish individual taxa focus primarily on: plant size; arrangement of leaves on the stem; the symmetry, dimensions, shape, concavity and folding of leaves; cell length; serration of the leaf apex; the shape of the decurrencies; the length of the sporophyte and the shape of the operculum. For all described taxa, the distribution, ecological preferences, key to their identification and detailed photographic documentation have been provided.
