Introduction
My primary interests lie in the field of plant evolution, biogeography, morphology, and community ecology. I intend to gain a better understanding of patterns of biodiversity, how important traits form in plants, and why certain lineages coexist and others don’t using bryophytes as study system.

Acaena (Rosaceae) is the most complex and ecologically variable genus in Sanguisorbinae. Although it has been the subject of several taxonomic treatments, the largest phylogenetic analysis to date only sampled a small fraction of the total global diversity (five to seven out of 45 to 50 species). This study included most of the species to elucidate...

Bryophytes form a major component of terrestrial plant biomass, structuring ecological communities in all biomes. Our understanding of the evolutionary history of hornworts, liverworts and mosses has been significantly reshaped by inferences from molecular data, which have highlighted extensive homoplasy in various traits and repeated burst...
Syntrichia relies on external water conduction for photosynthesis, survival, and reproduction, a condition referred to as ectohydry. Capillarity spaces are abundant in Syntrichia, but the link between function and morphology is complex. The aim of this study was to provide a better understanding of species-specific morphological traits underlying f...
Syntrichia lithophila (Dusén) Ochyra & R.H.Zander is reported for the first time from the northern hemisphere from Oregon, U.S.A., based on specimens collected during a project to better understand the bryoflora of eastern Oregon. This species represents a new amphitropical disjunct moss species to the Americas. We provide a full description of the...
Bryophytes are emerging as the sister-group to extant vascular plants, and their current diversity highlights that their life cycle characterized by a dominating vegetative gametophyte and an unbranched sporophyte composes a successful alternative to that of vascular plants and their dominating sporophyte. The evolutionary history of hornworts, liv...

Premise of the study: To address the biodiversity crisis, it is important to understand the evolution of all organisms and how they fill geographic and ecological space. Syntrichia is one of the most diverse and dominant genera of mosses, ranging from alpine habitats to desert biocrusts, yet its evolutionary history remains unclear. Methods: We pre...

A revised infrageneric classification of the genus Syntrichia Brid. is proposed that includes the segregation of a new genus Syntrichiadelphus for the species currently known as Syntrichia flagellaris (Schi...
Mount Diablo in Contra Costa County is a notable peak in California's central Coast Ranges, well known for its biodiversity. To date, no accounts of the bryophytes on this mountain have been published. We present a catalogue of the mosses, liverworts, and hornworts known to occur on Mount Diablo. We base this on collections made by us and augmented...
