The present study is a compilation of moss flora of Western Himalayas (India). This compilation listed 745 species of mosses, belonging to 19 orders; 55 families and 230 genera. Out of these 17 species have been reported endemic from Western Himalayas. 196 species have been synonymized and status of 86 species is still doubtful i.e. unresolved name. At present out of 745 only 463 species are validly known from this mountain range of India
Similipal Biosphere Reserve is a part of biotic province of Chhotanagpur Plateau. It has a representative ecosystem under Mahanadian biogeographic region. Its biodiversity is an assemblage representation of Western Ghats and North-East India. Regarding bryophytes this area was rather unexplored and the current investigation shows the occurrence of 33 taxa of bryophytes in this biosphere reserve and its neighboring areas. Each species has been enumerated with its ecological and distributional details.
Bryoflora of Munsyari and Dharchula Tehsil of Pithoragarh, Uttarakhand, Western Himalayas, India
(2012)
Uttarakhand state of India comprises unique topographical conditions and hence is rich in bryophytes. In present work two Tehsils-Munsyari and Dharchula of Pithoragarh have been explored extensively to assess the bryophytic wealth of this district. A preliminary checklist has been prepared which revealed the occurrence of 51 taxa of bryophytes from this district.
The present contribution revealed the occurrence of Hypnum plumaeforme Wilson belonging to family Hypnaceae (Bryopsida) for the first time in Munsiyari region of Uttarakhand state, which is a new addition to the bryoflora of Western Himalayas. Earlier this species was known only from eastern Himalayas (Nepal).
Keys and diagnoses of North European aphids (Hemiptera, Aphidoidea) associated with mosses, horsetails and ferns are given, based on fresh and freeze-dried material. Numerous externally visible and thus informative characters, that are absent in cleared, slide-mounted specimens, such as body shape colours, wax coating and pattern etc., are utilized. Most of the species are illustrated by photographs of live specimens and drawings. Root-feeding species living in the moss layer or otherwise often present in moss samples are also included, even if their hosts were spermatophytes. The combination of colour images and diagnoses, utilizing easily observed characters, allows the identification of a large number of species already in the field, and many more at home with the aid of a stereo microscope. Host plant relationships and association with ants are summarised, including new records. Brief accounts on aphid life cycles, freeze-drying preparation techniques, etc. are also given to support the use of the keys.
Die Moosflora von Rolandseck
(2006)
Rolandseck liegt am linken Rande des Mittelrheintales gegenüber von Bad Honnef und dem Siebengebirge. Die vorliegenden Ausführungen beziehen sich auf einen 3 km langen und 2 km breiten Abschnitt des Rheintals, was die linksrheinischen Höhen und das rechtsrheinische Ufer einschließt. Sie sollen ein Bild von der im Zeitraum von 1994-2005 festgestellten Moosflora geben.
Das Ablassen der Wahnbachtalsperre im Bergischen Land nördlich Bonn im Jahr 2008 ließ eine interessante ephemere Moosvegetation erwarten. Daher wurden im Sommer und Herbst 2008 mehrere Exkursionen in das Gebiet durchgeführt. Die folgende Liste ist die erste Zusammenstellung der Arten von dieser Lokalität; sie enthält eine Vielzahl von Nachweisen seltener Arten, darunter 12 Arten aus der Gattung Riccia.
Seit Mitte der Neunziger Jahre des 20. Jahrhunderts sind erhebliche Veränderungen in der Moosflora und –vegetation zu verzeichnen gewesen, die in ihrem Umfang wahrscheinlich alle früheren Veränderungen in den Schatten stellen. Sie betreffen (a) den Wechsel von Gesteinmoosen auf Borke und (b) die Ausbreitung von Auenwaldmoosen auf Bereiche außerhalb der Flusstäler. Dieser Beitrag soll dazu beitragen, diese Wechsel von Standorten zu dokumentieren und zitierfähig zu machen.
