The “Alto da Serra de Paranapiacaba” Biological Reserve (RBASP) was created in 1909 and was the first protected area in the category of Biological Reserve in South America. We conducted samplings in large uncollected areas, considering different phyto-physiognomies, and reviewed all the bryophyte material deposited in the SP herbarium. We identifie...

In November 2022, the IV Workshop of Brazilian Bryophytes took place, celebrating 200 years of bryophyte studies in Brazil. The date commemorates Raddi’s publication in 1822 and the birth month of Aloysio...
The municipality of Serrinha is part of the Polígono das Secas and has some forest formations that deserve to have their flora investigated, considering that the knowledge about the composition of Bryophytes in the Caatinga Domain is underestimated. Serra da Barra do Vento is a Submontane Seasonal Forest formation and in this environment 71 species...
Here we present several taxonomic notes resulting from taxonomic studies on the Brazilian species of Plagiochila. We are proposing 4 lectotypes and 11 new synonyms, providing taxonomic notes and illustrations of some little-known taxa.
Plants should be probably thought of as the most formidable chemical laboratory that can be exploited for the production of an incredible number of molecules with remarkable structural and chemical...

Elaboramos um banco de dados a partir da coleção de briófitas registrada no herbário Prof. Aluízio Bittencourt (HABIT), da Universid...
The Itatiaia National Park protects important Atlantic Forest remnants as well as a large number of rare bryophyte species. We reassessed the conservation status of 45 species of endemic and/or threatened mosses occurring in high-altitude fields in the Park. The conservation analysis followed the International Union for Conservation of Nature guide...
O Herbário VIES é uma das cinco coleções botânicas presentes no Espírito Santo e contempla o segundo maior
acervo do estado. O grupo das Briófitas não foi estudado durante anos e contava com apenas cerca de 120 exsicatas até o
ano de 2019, entretanto a coleção passou por uma reorganização, novos estudos estão em andamento e atualmente apresenta
qua...
The Brazilian species of Macromitrium Brid. presents many taxonomic and systematic problems, mainly because the morphological characters used for species identification were not well established in the past, and many species have no phylogenetic position established yet. In this paper, we aim (i) to test the monophyly of Macromitrium based on the p...
Abstract Epixylic bryophytes - colonizers of decaying logs - are the third most endangered group of these plants, but few studies have been focused on them. Thirty logs in the proximity of three trails in a nebular forest in the Serra da Bocaina National Park in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, were sampled. Our objective was to study and compare th...
The evolutionary history of the symbiotic association between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and embryophytes dates back to the Devonian period. Previous ecological and physiological studies have described the presence of arbuscules, inter- and intracellular hyphae, vesicles, coils and spores, in liverworts and hornworts, which are considered a...

As amostras foram coletadas conforme metodologia usual para o grupo e foram depositadas no Herbário do Instituto Federal Goiano, Campus Rio Verde e duplicatas foram encaminhadas para o herbário “SP...
Bryophytic epiphylls are characterized by their great specificity for certain substrates. This epiphytism is often confused with parasitism because there can be a lot of interaction with the colonized leaves. There is also a known case of partial parasitism for Radula flaccida Lindenb. & Gottsche; however, there is no information about the morpho-a...
Report an initiative of the Brazilian community to optimize and automate strategies to the calculation of automated criteria and species assessment conducted by groups of experts

Bryaceae is a species-rich moss family comprising ten genera and 660 species, with four genera and 54 species occurring in Brazil. Bryum is the largest genus, with 440 cosmopolitan species, while Anomobryum comprises 47 cosmopolitan species. Identifying taxa in Bryaceae is usually a difficult task, mainly due to the lack of the sporophyte in herbor...
Bryaceae is a moss family with ten genera and 660 species worldwide. There are 54 species in four genera in Brazil. Brachymenium is the second largest genus and is characterized by the corticolous habit, erect capsules and rudimentar endostome. A revision of the genus is necessary due to the difficulty in identifying the taxa and to the poorly samp...

We are presenting 41 bryophyte taxa as new localities for the state of Santa Catarina, 36 being Bryophyta taxa and 5 (fiv...
Main conclusion
Ceratodon purpureus showed changes in disaccharides, flavonoids, and carotenoids throughout annual seasons. These changes indicate harsher environmental conditions during the dry period, directing metabolic precursors to enhance the antioxidant system.

Few data are available about cuticular wax of mosses, in general, as well as for Polytrichaceae. In addition, most of these studies investigated only the gametophyte. To improve understanding of wax components and their ecological roles, we compared the morphology and the chemical composition of cuticular waxes of the gametophyte and the sporophyte...

In the Atlantic Coastal Forest of Southeastern Brazil, they are found in great richness and diversity, especially in the montane regions. In this context, the Parque Nacional do Caparaó, where our study was conducted, is known for its mountain environment and high al...
ABSTRACT Porotrichum squarrosum has never been reported from Brazil and it is a new record. While revising herbarium specimens we found a specimen named Pireella squarrosa (currently Porotrichum), identified by Massimo Mastracci. We have compared this specimen with records from literature and several hundreds of specimens and found that among speci...

Floristic surveys are essential tools for the knowledge of species records, serving as a basis for future studies, as taxa monographs, conservation and ecological surveys. The aim of this work was to conduct a survey of the moss flora of a fragment of tropical rain forest in the Boa Nova National Park, Bahia, Brazil. This area stands out for its fl...
The urge to organise the world around us is an essential part of human nature. Naming and categorising enable us to store and access information ef ciently. The need to name and categorise extends to the natural world and, in particular, to living organisms. The science underpinning this area of knowledge is called Taxonomy, and is as old as humani...
Background
The cuticle, by ensuring protection against water loss, was a key innovation in plant terrestrialisation. This layer is characterised by the cutin matrix embedded and covered with cuticular waxes. In this study we describe the cuticular waxes on gametophytes of several species of liverworts and mosses, including Brazilian endemics.
