A phylogeny of Adelanthaceae (Jungermanniales, Marchantiophyta) based on nuclear and chloroplast DNA markers, with comments on classification, cryptic speciation and biogeography

Molecular insight on phylogeny and systematics of the Lophoziaceae, Scapaniaceae, Gymnomitriaceae and Jungermanniaceae

“…Two Northern Hemisphere species, Jamesoniella undulifolia and J. autumnalis, were placed in the subgenus Crossogyna by Schuster (1969) and later in the genus Crossogyna by Schljakov (1981). Molecular phylogenetic studies suggested to place Jamesoniella in a separate family Jamesoniellaceae (He-Nygren et al, 2006) or in the family Adelanthaceae (Feldberg et al, 2010). The genus Jamesoniella was shown to be polyphyletic with one of the two mostly North Hemisphaeran species J. autumnalis separated in its own lineage (De Roo et al, 2007;Hentschel et al, 2007) or clustered with morphologically similar J. nipponica (Feldberg et al, 2010).…”

Recently based on molecular data the most species of Jamesoniella were transferred to the genus Syzigiella Spruce (Feldberg et al, 2010).…”

Recently based on molecular data the most species of Jamesoniella were transferred to the genus Syzigiella Spruce (Feldberg et al, 2010). We have studied two predominantly Holarctic species of genus/subgenus Crossogyna including worldwide rare and morphologically isolated C. undulifolia that was never analyzed molecularly before.…”

Notes on Early Land Plants Today. 17. Transfers of some taxa in Adelanthaceae (Marchantiophyta)

“…Jamesoniella was shown by Feldberg et al (2010a) to be a part of Syzygiella and Cuspidatula Stephani (1901Stephani ( : 1141 and the species included in the study were transferred by Feldberg et al (2010b). However, the taxa not included in the phylogeny were left orphaned in Jamesoniella.…”

Jochen Heinrichs: March 14, 1969–April 22, 2018

“…His most influential contribution addresses the taxonomy of Plagiochila and provides new insights into this widespread but hitherto poorly known genus (e.g., Heinrichs et al 1998aHeinrichs et al , b, 2000Heinrichs 2002a, b). Other major contributions to liverwort systematics and taxonomy focused on molecular phylogeny (e.g., Heinrichs et al 2012a;Feldberg et al 2010Feldberg et al , 2016Carter et al 2016), classification of Lejeuneaceae (e.g., Wilson et al 2004;Heinrichs et al 2014aHeinrichs et al , b, c, d, 2015aBechteler et al 2016a, b), cryptic speciation in bryophytes (e.g., Kreier et al 2010;Heinrichs et al 2011), and diversification patterns in leafy liverworts (e.g., Heinrichs et al 2013;Bechteler et al 2016c). For the best paper published in The Bryologist in 2005, Jochen was awarded the Sullivant Award of the American Bryological and Lichenological Society.…”
