The variation in biomass and diversity of epiphytic liverwort species in a Mexican cloud forest (CF) in the state of Hidalgo was estimated along elevation and latitude gradients, as was the relationship between epiphytic liverwort structural attributes and environmental factors.Methods Liverwort species were sampled in three municipalities with CF in Hidalgo State, at elevations of 1345–2019 m. In each municipality, two 0.1 ha plots were located at the two extremes of the gradient. For each of 10 trees per plot, three 10 × 10 cm areas of bark were selected as microplots, and from each microplot, samples of liverwort were obtained to determine structural data for the liverworts.Key results Species diversity was highest at the upper elevation level (1985–2001 m), and lowest at the lower elevation level (1345–1375 m). The highest dry and saturated weight values (15.20 g and 83.30 g, respectively) were found at lower elevations, and the lowest (11.78 g and 60.04 g, respectively) at high elevations.Conclusion Species diversity was positively related to elevation gradient, and species biomass decreased gradually with elevation. Beta diversity values were not associated with geographical distance between sites. Local factors, such as light input, available area, phorophyte species, humidity and temperature, may have more influence on the growth of epiphytic liverworts than elevation or geographical distance.KEYWORDS: Bryophyteselevationliverwortsspecies diversitytemperate forests AcknowledgementsWe gratefully acknowledge the Consejo Nacional de Humanidades, Ciencias y Tecnologías (CONAHCYT) for the scholarship granted to the first author to carry out postgraduate studies.

The results of several studies have suggested explanations for this observation, one of which is the shy male hypothesis. The shy male hypothesis predicts that the sex ratio of populations is balanced in the field, but due to a low or lack of sex expression of male plants, the populations present a female bias when the sex ratio is based on observations of sex-expressing plants.Methods We tested the shy male hypothesis using samples of the moss Bryum argenteum collected from Brazilian seasonally dry tropical forests and the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Field sex ratios were determined by classifying shoots as male, female, or non–sex-expressing. Non–sex-expressing shoots were further analysed for sex expression after culture regeneration.Results and discussion Our results showed that populations of Bryum argenteum in the field had a low rate of sex expression, and that most of the shoots expressed were female. However, when shoots without sex expression were cultured, a greater number of male shoots were observed compared with in the field plants. Because more males appeared in the shoots cultured from non–sex-expressing field plants, our data for tropical B. argenteum tend to support the shy male hypothesis. Some genotypes from the wet forest were synoicous (i.e. had male and female gametangia in the same gametoecia), suggesting polyploidy.KEYWORDS: Dioicygametangia productionlabile sexmosssex expressionsex ratio AcknowledgementsWe thank Raimundo Guaraci do Carmo Cardoso for allowing us to collect samples of Bryum argenteum in Parque Pedra do Cachorro, and the management of Parque das Neblinas for allowing us to collect in that park.

During our studies of Indian hornworts, a distinctly variable population was found at Binsar, Uttarakhand, and sharing the same habitat as Phaeoceros himalayensis (Kashyap) Prosk. ex Bapna & G.G.Vyas and Phaeoceros laevis (L.) Prosk.Methods A critical study of the specimens housed at CSIR–NBRI, Lucknow (LWG) was conducted. An SEM study of spores was also carried out to examine their ultramorphological characters.Key results The plants were found to be remarkably characterised by a narrow thallus with prolific stalked tubers arising from the mid-ventral surface; female plants with short involucres; single rounded to irregular chloroplast per cell, without a pyrenoid; and spore distal face with a large, central, single, pitted central hump, and the proximal face with a distinct single dimple on each tetrahedral area between triradiate rays. A detailed morphotaxonomic account is presented, along with detailed SEM observations of spores of the Indian plants.Conclusion Our critical comparative study has revealed that the plants of the newly recorded population belong to the genus Phymatoceros and are distinct from hitherto known species. They are described here as a new species, Phymatoceros binsarensis A.K.Asthana, D.Shukla & Reesa Gupta, and are the first record of Phymatoceros in India. As such, they represent a remarkable and interesting disjunct occurrence of the genus in Asia, separate from its distribution in four other continents (Africa, Europe, and North and South America).
