Campylopus introflexus es una especie de musgo acrocárpico nativa del hemisferio sur, pero que ha sido introducida en numerosas zonas del hemisferio norte donde actúa como invasora. En este artículo se analiza la presencia de esta especie en Tenerife (Islas Canarias, España) así como el marco temporal de su historia de invasión.

Biogeography, systematics and taxonomy are complementary scientific disciplines. To understand a species’ origin, migration routes, distribution and evolutionary history, it is first necessary to establish its taxonomic boundaries. Here, we use an integrative approach that takes advantage of complementary disciplines to resolve an intriguing scientific question. Populations of an unknown moss found in the Canary Islands (Tenerife Island) resembled two different Californian endemic species: Orthotrichum shevockii and O. kellmanii. To determine whether this moss belongs to either of these species and, if so, to explain its presence on this distant oceanic island, we combined the evaluation of morphological qualitative characters, statistical morphometric analyses of quantitative traits, and molecular phylogenetic inferences. Our results suggest that the two Californian mosses are conspecific, and that the Canarian populations belong to this putative species, with only one taxon thus involved. Orthotrichum shevockii (the priority name) is therefore recognized as a morphologically variable species that exhibits a transcontinental disjunction between western North America and the Canary Islands. Within its distribution range, the area of occupancy is limited, a notable feature among bryophytes at the intraspecific level. To explain this disjunction, divergence time and ancestral area estimation analyses are carried out and further support the hypothesis of a long-distance dispersal event from California to Tenerife Island.

Molecular dating using a distinct nuclear and plastid nucleotide substitution rate. Maximum clade credibility tree from the relaxed molecular-clock analysis of the four loci in BEAST from analysis II with a distinct rate for the plastid (5.0E-4 (2–8E-4) subst./site/ma) and nuclear partitions (4.13E-3 (1.72–8.34E-3) subst./site/ma). Black and grey circles at nodes refer to node support of PP >0.95 and PP >0.75 - <0.95, respectively. Identification number and geographical origin follow sequence labels. In the case of Orthotrichum shevockii, sequence labels are also followed by number identification between brackets as in Fig 1 and S2 Appendix (*** = isotype material of O. kellmanii). (TIF)

... Conversely, many species of Orthotrichaceae exhibit remarkably wide ranges, including intercontinental disjunct distributions. Several taxonomic integrative studies have confirmed the existence of species whose distribution genuinely involves more than one continent (Caparroś et al., 2016;Vigalondo et al., 2016;Vigalondo et al., 2019b;Flagmeier et al., 2021). However, there are other cases where complexes of pseudo-cryptic species, restricted to a single continent or archipelago, have been unveiled (Medina et al., 2012Vigalondo et al., 2019a;Lara et al., 2020). ...

Eighteen of the 19 described species in section Piliferae occur in South Africa and Lesotho, with a 19 th species (Riccia boumanii Dirkse, Losada-Lima & Stech 2016: 96) recently described from the Canary Islands (Dirkse et al. 2016) which was also very recently found in China (Xiang et al 2022). It is uniquely characterised by plants with uniseriate, dorsal epidermal cells in bi-or multicellular pillars, frequently giving the dorsal surface a velvety or scurfy appearance as well as generally large ventral scales along the flanks, typically hyaline or bicoloured. ...

... R. cavernosa was first reported from Alaska (Dirkse and Losada-lima, 2011) and in India from Pachmarhi (M.P.)

... In temperate forests, the diversity of epiphytic bryophytes is influenced first and foremost by large-scale environmental factors, such as geography and climate [43]. Small-scale environmental factors such as light, temperature, and humidity in the forest also greatly affect bryophyte diversity [42][43][44][45], leading to changes in the distribution pattern of bryophytes in the forest [6][7][8][46][47][48]. BPPs such as bark water content, drying rate, and pH, as well as some chemical properties, influence the epiphytic preference of bryophytes [7]. ...
