Briófitas dos estados do Ceará, Maranhão, Paraíba, Piauí e Rio Grande do Norte (Brasil)

Abstract

-(Bryophytes from Ceará, Maranhão, Paraíba, Piauí and Rio Grande do Norte States (Brazil)). In the study of the bryophytes deposited in SP herbaria one hundred forty three taxa from Brazilian states of Ceará, Maranhão, Paraíba, Piauí and Rio Grande do Norte were identified. From these 80 are new records (46-Bryophyta, 33-Marchantiophyta and 1-Anthocerotophyta). Anthocerotophyta is represented by one genus and one family.

Richness of Marchantiophyta and Bryophyta in a protected area of the Brazilian Amazon

“…However, those studies included species collected in different ecosystems and types of vegetation, whereas Maranhão presents not only Amazonian landscapes but also areas of savanna and shrublands (Yano et al 2009;Oren & Roma 2011), which could explain the high number of species, especially mosses, recorded for the state. The richness found in the Gurupi Biological Reserve was higher than that recorded for the state of Maranhão by Yano et al (2009). However, that study was based on samples collected in five states in northeastern Brazil and did not deal with the study of a locality or specific area in Maranhão.…”

“…For the analysis of the Brazilian and worldwide distribution, we consulted not only the list of species of Brazilian flora but also the works of Bastos (2004), Lisboa & Osakada (2005), Bastos & Yano (2006), Lisboa et al (2006), Yano & Peralta (2006), Zartman & Ilkiu-Borges (2007), Alvarenga et al (2008), Ilkiu-Borges et al (2009), Bordin & Yano (2010), Peralta et al (2011), Yano (2008, Yano et al (2009), Reiner-Drehwald & Grolle (2012 and Moura et al (2013). The abbreviations of the Brazilian state names are those established by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics.…”

Distribution, ecology, and reproduction of bryophytes in a humid enclave in the semiarid region of northeastern Brazil

“…Other humid enclaves (i.e., Montane forests, locally known as "Brejos de Altitude") found in Ceará State, (e.g., Chapada do Ibiapaba, Serra Maciço de Baturité, and Serra de Pirapora) likewise harbor high vascular and non-vascular plant diversities, including bryophytes (Yano & Pôrto 2006;Acta Botanica Brasilica -32(2): 303-313. April-June 2018 Lima & Mansano 2011;Ribeiro-Silva et al 2012).…”

“…In general, little is known about the ecology and reproduction of the species found in humid forest enclaves in northeastern Brazil (Pôrto et al 2004). Studies of the bryophytes of Ceará State have largely focused on species compositions, the microhabitats they colonize, and their taxonomies and geographic distributions (Yano & Pôrto 2006;Oliveira & Alves 2007;Oliveira & Bastos 2009a;b;2010a;b). Information currently available concerning bryophytes in Chapada do Araripe is restricted to data from sporadic collections made between 1844 and 1994 -with 25 species being recognized for the region (see the Supplementary Material section, based on Brito & Pôrto 2000;Yano & Pôrto 2006).…”

Antóceros (Anthocerotophyta) e hepáticas talosas (Marchantiophyta) da Chapada da Ibiapaba, Ceará, Brasil

“…Estas são sempre citadas em trabalhos mais amplos, que abordam os principais grupos de briófitas, como visto em Griffin III (1979), , Oliveira & Alves (2007), Brito & Pôrto (2000), Pôrto et al (2004), Yano & Pôrto (2006) ou, pelo menos, o grupo das hepáticas, como pode ser constatado em Valente & Pôrto (2006a;2006b) e Yano & Peralta (2005). Os estudos mais recentes e abrangentes são o de Gradstein & Costa (2003) que engloba todos os antóceros e hepáticas registrados para o Brasil até 2003; e o catálogo de Yano (2008).…”
