Veins of Dilated Scalewort (Frullania dilatata) running across the bark of a tree. Also, free moss!

Closeup of the white papery bark of a tree branch, which has what look like strings of dark brown beads traced across it in patterns that look like veins, or perhaps intermingling streams. There's a large glob of rich green moss growing on the bark on the right hand side.

Finland celebrated #vappu today, but I was more excited about finding these flowers, liverworts, at last. I have not seen them in these parts of Helsinki before.

As always in recent years, I paid a visit to my favourite early bloomers, the liverworts.

Full shot of vibrant green and brown mosses and lichen up close. Foreground displays needle-like mosses among leafy liverworts and stalk-shaped lichen in intricate detail. Dynamic lighting highlights varying textures and densities. A nature photograph, focusing on the intricate details of a micro ecosystem.

In a new study of dioicy–monoicy transitions in an ancient #liverwort haploid-dominant plant lineage, Fu et al. find evidence for #evolution of a new #sex #chromosome within the haploid-dominant Marchantiales.🔓👇

Annotated phylogenetic lineage illustrates genomic evidence suggesting that sex chromosomes may not be conserved within liverworts. Re-evolution of dioicy in the genus Riccia may have occurred with probable de novo establishment of a new sex chromosome from the autosome, and the m-chromosomes have evolved independently from chromosomes in the Marchantiales.

Lunularia cruciata, the crescent-cup liverwort, growing the corner of a little urban garden. You can see the little gemmae spilling out of the cup, which are vegetative bits that can grow into new plants!

A flat, yellowish-green tongue of plant material creeps up a wet wooden wall. It has crescent-shaped cups which are spilling out with loose tiny green pills of plant material.

This is Ptilidium californicum, the Pacific fuzzwort, which is a tiny liverwort that often grows on trees. I saw it fairly often while exploring Croker Island in Say Nuth Khaw Yum Provincial Park!

A tufty, golden-brown plant composed of a wreath of curled-in leaves, grows across the bark of a much larger tree. The photo is close enough that the leaves appear to be made of tiny cellular bubbles.

My first time finding and photographing Metzgeria conjugata, or Rock veilwort.

Several long, flat ribbons of green tissue cascade down a rock, with a single vein-like structure in the middle. They fork neat their ends, and are fringed with tiny white hairs. They are extremely small; grains in the rock are visible next to them.

Does anyone knowledgeable know if this plant is a lichen or a liverwort? I was struck by the different plant types on the rock walls of a disused railway cutting in Rothbury. One side is mostly moss and the other this plant, and it varies along the length too.

Hong Qian tests the #tropical #niche conservatism hypothesis using #liverwort assemblages distributed along an elevational gradient crossing approx. 5,000m of elevation in the central #Himalayas. Find the results here!👇

This triphasic (zig-zag) pattern illustrates that phylogenetic dispersion decreases with increasing elevation, and thus with decreasing temperature in this study exploring geographic patterns and climatic correlates of phylogenetic diversity and dispersion in liverwort assemblages distributed along an elevational gradient crossing about 5000 m of elevation in the central Himalaya.
