“…In most of the previous studies, species richness of bryophytes was found to be independent of the degree of isolation of both true islands (Menzel & Passow-Schindhelm, 1990;Dirkse, Bouman & Losada-Lima, 1993;Frahm et al, 1996) and habitat islands (Kimmerer & Driscoll, 2000). The lack of relationship between bryophyte species richness and habitat isolation was confirmed for cliffs in our study (it was not analysed for talus slopes, which are rarely isolated in the study area).…”

The bryophyte flora and its environmental correlates were studied on 28 treeless cliffs and 18 treeless talus slopes in forested river valleys of the southern Czech Republic. The diversity of bryophyte assemblages was assessed through species richness and spectra of distribution-range types, growth forms and life strategies, using analysis of covariance. Species richness of cliffs increased with their area but this was not the case for talus slopes, where a high microtopographic heterogeneity appeared to be the key factor governing diversity. No habitat island effects were detected for cliffs; there were no differences between isolated cliffs and cliffs found in the neighbourhood of other cliffs or talus slopes. Island effects were not studied for talus slopes as they were nearly always found in clusters with cliffs and other talus slopes. Talus slopes were characterized by a strong effect of the ecotone between forest and open talus, with ecotonal vegetation being more diverse than the central part of talus slopes. However, no ecotone effect was found on cliffs. The effect of potential irradiation, used as a proxy for moisture availability, was weak on cliffs but strong on talus slopes where more insolated slopes had lower diversity, more temperate and fewer boreal species, a predominance of short turf or cushion-like mosses over large bryophytes and a higher proportion of the colonist strategy, as opposed to perennial stayers and long-lived shuttle species. On cliffs, base-rich rocks had higher total species richness but a lower proportion of hepatics, fewer suboceanic and more submediterranean species, and more small turf or cushion-like mosses. The effect of base status was not assessed for talus slopes as they were all formed from acidic rocks. These results demonstrate that cliffs and talus slopes in the same area are quite different habitats and each is characterized by distinctive environmental conditions.

“…Förh. 41 Notes: A specimen collected by Norman at the type locality and stored under the name Biatorella coeloplata in TROM is here designated the lectotype. Norman (1884) described a form, Biatorella coeloplata f. carbonata, for older apothecia; we use a single specimen to lectotypify this form as well as the species.…”

Since its resurrection, the resinicolous discomycete genus Sarea has been accepted as containing two species, one with black apothecia and pycnidia, and one with orange. We investigate this hypothesis using three ribosomal (nuITS, nuLSU, mtSSU) regions from and morphological examination of 70 specimens collected primarily in Europe and North America. The results of our analyses support separation of the traditional Sarea difformis s.l. and Sarea resinae s.l. into two distinct genera, Sarea and Zythia. Sarea as circumscribed is shown to comprise three phylospecies, with one corresponding to Sarea difformis s.s. and two, morphologically indistinguishable, corresponding to the newly combined Sarea coeloplata. Zythia is maintained as monotypic, containing only a genetically and morphologically variable Z. resinae. The new genus Atrozythia is erected for the new species A. klamathica. Arthrographis lignicola is placed in this genus on molecular grounds, expanding the concept of Sareomycetes by inclusion of a previously unknown type of anamorph. Dating analyses using additional marker regions indicate the emergence of the Sareomycetes was roughly concurrent with the diversification of the genus Pinus, suggesting that this group of fungi emerged to exploit the newly-available resinous ecological niche supplied by Pinus or another, extinct group of conifers. Our phylogeographic studies also permitted us to study the introductions of these fungi to areas where they are not native, including Antarctica, Cape Verde, and New Zealand and are consistent with historical hypotheses of introduction.
