BRYONET: Fall workshop

BRYONET
There are still spaces available in my workshop September 30 through
October 3 at the Andrews Experimental Forest in the Oregon Cascades.
Please contact me directly if you are interested.
ADVANCED FIELD BRYOLOGY. September 30--October 3. This
year's advanced workshop is completely new: I have reserved space in
the fall at the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest near the McKenzie
River:
http://andrewsforest.oregonstate.edu/
We will study together, go in the field together, live together, and
cook together for four days. It is designed for people who have had
previous training in bryology. The location and time of year will
allow us to visit montane wetlands of the High Cascades. In addition
to field competence, this workshop emphasizes developing microscope
skills and mastering the specialized terminology necessary to use
technical keys to identify bryophytes. The field trip will provide
fresh material to supplement dried herbarium specimens. Participants
are encouraged to bring up to a dozen of their own unknowns for
supervised independent study. Bring more if ready to work evenings.
Keying liverworts will focus on Doyle and Stotler's 2006 keys to
California liverworts, supplemented by my CD, Liverworts of Oregon.
Norris and Shevock's 2004 keys will be emphasized for mosses.

BRYONET: Request for American Herbertus material

BRYONET
Dear Bryonet
I have a masters student David Bell who has been DNA-barcoding European
Herbertus for his dissertation project this summer. To evaluate the
status of Herbertus hutchinsiae (H. aduncus subsp. hutchinsiae) in
Europe we really need a recent collection for the two american
subspecies from close to their type localities: 1. Herbertus tenuis from
the Appalachians (North Carolina) and 2. H. aduncus subsp. aduncus from
Alaska/ BC (American north-west). Our feeling is that H. hutchinsiae
should be recognised at specific rank.
We do not need fresh material, preferably specimens collected recently
or less than 2 years old. Can anyone help?
Many thanks, David

BRYONET: Growth on leafy liverworts

BRYONET
Dear all,
I was wondering if someone knows of publications about experimental
studies which include measuring the growth of leafy liverworts? Maybe
also about how to assess survival and/or condition of leafy liverworts.
I would be very grateful for any advice.

Re: AW: BRYONET: [spores or gemmae?]

BRYONET

I agree that some of these photographs look like spores of fungi, but some
appear to have green in them, especially the ones that have germinated, so I
also agree with Michael Lueth that some of them are gemmae, and Orthotrichum is
a good candidate. One was a series of single cells and looked like a fungal
spore, whereas another was more than one cell wide and looked like a gemma. If
you can get the various types to germinate, you will know if you get a protonema
or fungal thread.

AW: BRYONET: [spores or gemmae?]

BRYONET

Dear Maaike,

your objects are spores of fungi as Wolfgang told you. We find them often in
peat samples during pollen analyses. You can see pictures in several
publications of B. van Geel. There you can find pictures of other objects
which could be very useful for your work.

For instance:
Van Geel, B. (1972): Palynology of a section from the raised bog
"Wietmarscher Moor" with special reference to fungal remains. Acta Bot.
Neerl., 21: 261-284.
Van Geel, B. (1986): Application of fungal and algal remains and other
microfossils in palynological analyses. In: B.E. Berglund (Editor), Handbook
of Holocene Palaeoecology and palaeohydrology. Wiley, Chichester, pp.
497-505.
Van Geel, B., Coope, G.R. and Van der Hammen, T. (1989): Palaeoecology and
stratigraphy of the lateglacial type section at Usselo (The Netherlands).
Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology, 60, 25-129.

Our samples are treated with KOH and subsequently acetolysed according to
Faegri and Iversen (1975). So the pictures are clearer and the cell walls
can be seen much better.

Best wishes und good luck

These look like the "Fairy Rings" associated with fungal infection of
bryophytes that have been described in Arctic and Antarctic regions (Fenton.

AW: BRYONET: [Fwd: Re: moss microcosms

BRYONET

Dear Maaike,
the obscure objects in question are all spores of different imperfect fungi. The
first picture may be of a spore of a species of Pithomyces sp. or Drechslera
sp.; the second and third show typical muricate spores of Alternaria spp.; the
forth shows a macroconidium of a Fusarium sp. and the fifth looks a bid like
Fusariella sp, but might also be of an Ascomycete. Full indentification could be
achieved by investing cultures of the different fungi. I would be very
interested in your whole identification-list!
Best wishes!

Re: BRYONET: moss microcosms

BRYONET

Dear Maaike,

the pictures 55-58 are gemmae, but not from Orthotrichum affine. There must
be another Orthotrichum near, which gave the gemmae, maybe a O. tenellum or
a O. obtusifolium.

BRYONET: moss microcosms

Dear Bryonetetters,

One of our students is currently studying moss microcosms. He has
identified many algae, rotifers, tardigrades, amoebae, etc., but there
are some structures that he cannot identify. Some look a bit like moss
gemmae, I think, others look like nothing I know of, but I guess they
may also be moss parts. I am hoping that someone might recognize these
'creatures'. The attached photos were taken at 500x, and the samples
come from /Orthotrichum affine/ growing epiphytically at ca. 4 m height
on oaks in northern Germany.

I would be grateful for any suggestions what we might be looking at here.

Best wishes,

BRYONET: moss rings!

Forwarded from Jean Faubert <jfaubert1@globetrotter.net>

Hello
Does someone have an explanation for the pattern seen in the pictures
joined to this ?

These were taken in Québec's boreal forest (52° north). Along the gravel
roads, on sand, Niphotrichum canescens form regular carpet for km and
km, broken only by accidents, for instance moose tracks or small
landslide. In 2 separate area separate by a few km, the patterns shown
on the picture were observed.
The rings are formed by alternating row of dead and living mosses. The
innermost dark ring is obviously the older. These dead ring are
progessively younger toward the outside of the pattern, as can be seen
by the various shade of brown. In some case, the ring are almost
perfectly circular, in others they are wavy. Pattern of all age were
observed, younger one formed only by a spot or one circle, older having
many circles. I have no idea of the time frame involved, as I made only
one visit. Vascular plants appears not to be affected. The machinery
tracks gives a scale.

I speculate that it might be a fungi, for no better reason that the
circular pattern reminds me of the «witch circles» of the (delicious)
mushroom growing in my lawn. But then the effect is inversed, as death
is involved instead of the blooming effect on my grass. Or what ? Virus ?

Has this been studied and described in a paper ? This is the first time
I encounter it. Is it frequent ?

Thank you
Jean Faubert

BRYONET: new publication announcement

BRYONET

we are pleased to announce the publication the first installment of
the 13th edition of Engler's Syllabus of Plant Families, Part3:
Bryophyte and seedless Vascular Plants has just edited by Wolfgang
Frey.

I would be very grateful if you would post the publication
announcement attached below to BRYONET-L, as this publication is
of direct relevance to bryologists.

You are welcome to attach the corresponding flyer
(http://www.schweizerbart.de/test/flyer_engler_syllabus_final-150dpi.pdf)
to your posting, but at 2.2Mb size it is not really small and I don't know
what the common practice is on BRYONET-L regarding attachments. The
announcement text therefore contains a link to the flyer.

Engler's Syllabus was first published in 1887 and this 13th edition is the
first english language edition.

If you do have any questions about my request, please don't hesitate
to let me know.

We appreciate your support in this matter.

Sincerely yours,

-walt obermiller

subject: Bryophytes and seedless Vascular Plants (Engler's Syllabus Pt. 3) published

Gebr. Borntraeger Publishers are pleased to announce the publication
of the first installment of the 13th edition of Engler's Syllabus of
Plant Families, covering Bryophytes and seedless Vascular Plants.

Part3: Bryophytes and seedless Vascular Plants
(Syllabus of Plant Families, Part 3)
Edited by Wolfgang Frey.
13th ed., 2009. X, 419 p., 72 figs., 1 tab, hardcover,
ISBN 978-3-443-01063-8, EUR 89

The volume provides a state-of-the art, current and thorough treatment
of the world-wide morphological and molecular diversity of a part of
“lower� plants [Marchantiophyta, Bryophyta, Anthocerotophyta,
Polysporangiomorpha, Protracheophytes, Rhyniophytina, Lycophytina,
“Trimerophytina�, Moniliformopses (Cladoxylopsida, Psilotopsida,
Equisetopsida, Marattiopsida, Polypodiopsida)], and Radiatopses
(Progymnospermopsida). The advent of DNA sequencing and advances in
phylogenetic analysis has raised new interest in the relationships of
liverworts, mosses, hornworts, ferns, and fern allies as extant
representatives of early land plant evolution. Following the tradition
of Engler with the morphological-anatomical data and incorporating
latest results from molecular phylogenetics and phylogenomics, an
up-to-date overview of families and genera has been created that will
serve as reference for a long time.

"Bryophytes and seedless Vascular Plants" should be on the bookshelf
of any researcher concerned with bryophyte systematics.

The complete Engler Syllabus book series will have five parts.
The forthcoming volume covers the blue-green algae, myxomycetes and
fungi.

Table of contents and description of Part 3 are available at: <a

BRYONET: Material of Forsstroemia?

BRYONET

Dear bryonetters,

My colleague Sanna Olsson and I are carrying out DNA-based
phylogenetic studies on the moss family Neckeraceae and we are trying
to get as comprehensive a species sampling as possible. To that end I
inquire if some of you are fortunate enough to possess relatively
fresh (from c. 1990 onwards) specimens of some of the following species:

Forsstroemia coronata
F. cryphaeoides
F. indica
F. japonica
F. neckeroides
F. thomsonii
F. tripinnata

We would only need a small amount of a shoot for the analyses, so the
specimens will not be destroyed. I am afraid we are in a bit of a
hurry so if you have such specimens, would it be possible to send them
soon? I will of course verify the identifications for you if you are
not sure which species you have.
Thank you!
Best wishes,
Johannes Enroth

BRYONET: Re: Tropical Bryology course in Costa Rica!

BRYONET

An opportunity to study tropical bryophytes at

Nectandra Cloud Forest in Costa Rica, with Dan Norris

The Jepson Herbarium of the University of California, Berkeley has,
for many years, offered a broad variety of weekend courses, most of
which emphasize identification of plants and/or fungi
http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/workshops/)
. Recently, we have broadened our coverage to several longer
duration courses in areas distant from California (Hawaii and New
Zealand). We are now considering a course in tropical bryology to be
offered on the Nectandra Cloud Forest near San Ramon in Alajuela
Province, Costa Rica (see: http://www.nectandra.org/index.htm). If
adequate enrollment (about 15) is achieved, the course will be taught
by Dr. Dan Norris of the University Herbarium, UC Berkeley, possibly
in cooperation with a Costa Rican bryologist.

Dr. Norris is the author of many journal articles in bryology with
emphasis on taxonomy of California and Papua New Guinea mosses. He
wrote with Jim Shevock the keys and catalogues to the mosses of
California (Madro=F1o 2004), and has amplified that with a micro-
photographic book on California mosses (with Bill and Nancy Malcolm
and Jim Shevock). In the neo-tropics, his publications derive from
trips to Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic. Dan
taught annual university-level courses in bryology at Humboldt State
University for 24 years. He also has experience in teaching advanced
students: thesis direction at Humboldt and numerous short-duration
bryology courses for professional botanists and foresters. His field
experience in the Neo- and the Paleotropics included the collection of
about 30,000 herbarium numbers from tropical areas. Three weeks of
study on the Nectandra Forest have prepared him for the course.

Evelyne and David Lennette, originally from Berkeley, California,
developed the Nectandra Insitute to host conservation oriented
groups. The Forest includes a meeting center and a laboratory in an
otherwise pristine forest of about =BE of a square mile. It is bounded
on three sides by grazing land but it abuts on one side with large
tracts of pristine forest. Excellent accommodations both for food and
sleeping arrangements are planned.

During this course, we plan to walk on and near the about 5 miles of
excellent and easy trails on the Nectandra forest, and we plan trips,
with collecting possibilities, to high elevation lands within only a
few hours drive. There is an excellent catalogue of the biota of the
forest with special coverage of ferns and vascular plants. Arrayed
along the trails of the Nectandra forest are signposts with
identification of nearly 100 species of vascular plants, mostly trees.

Participants in the course will work with completed keys written by
Norris for the liverworts, hornworts and mosses that he has documented
for the Nectandra Cloud Forests. A reference collection of identified
Nectandra bryophytes will be available for comparison. Appropriate
additional literature will be available in the laboratory. Field
collecting trips will take us to all parts of the Nectandra Forest.
We anticipate that participants will be able to send materials
collected during the course to home herbaria. The goal of the course is
to prepare participants to do field recognition of the major
genera of mosses, liverworts and hornworts of the Costa Rican cloud
forest. Skills in laboratory identification to species are also
predicted.

We are surveying the bryology community to determine whether there is
adequate interest in such a course. We see two possibilities in terms
of times to offer this course in 2010. We would like to plan for a
time in March or April because of a pattern of lower rainfall. In the
summer, more people will be free but, during that time, heavy rainfall
will enforce morning trips followed by afternoon laboratory work. All
seasons have pleasant temperatures that range primarily in the 60's to
70's F. Because a trip to distant Costa Rica should be of
sufficient duration to allow serious learning, we would schedule 11
days for the course with 2 free days inserted so that each 3 planned
days of study are followed by a free day. The price of the class
will be about $1500 (course, lodging and meals) plus air fare. To
register interest: inform Cecile Shohet at cshohet@berkeley.edu,
indicating 2010 spring or summer preference.

BRYONET: bryonet on vacation

BRYONET

Dear bryonetters,
It is that time of year again when I will be leaving town and not have
internet access. If you have an important announcement for bryonet, please get
it to me before 12 August. I will be gone 12-24 August for the IAB meeting. I
will be at home for a week, then gone again 31 August - 15 September with only
intermittent access to the internet during those latter two weeks. Bryonet mail
during those periods will wait in queue until I can forward them.

I need to hear from you if you have size limits on your email that are less
than 10 meg. If so, please tell me the limit for you. We are moving to new
software in mid September and should have much better formatting and foreign
characters on bryonet and images should transfer more easily.

Best wishes to all,
Janice
