Epiphyllous Hepaticae in the Southern Appalachians

Herbivory, pathogens, and epiphylls in Araucaria Forest and ecologically-managed tree monocultures

“…However, epiphylls intercept light, reducing the host photosynthetic rate (Coley et al, 1993;Roskoski, 1981; but see Anthony et al, 2002). The incidence of epiphylls tends to be higher under shade and humid conditions (Schuster, 1959) and its richness is correlated to the richness of vascular plants (Pharo et al, 1999). Furthermore, lichen richness and abundance can be also affected by higher trophic level interactions (Dyer and Letourneau, 2007).…”

Epiphyllous bryophytes in the Appalachian Plateau of Kentucky and Tennessee, U.S.A

“…The success of the Lejeuneaceae as epiphyllae may be due to small investment in stem biomass; complicatebilobed leaves for water retention and as catchments for microinvertebrate wastes; and large, multicellular, chlorophyll-rich spores with thin walls for rapid substrate colonization (Thiers 1988). Genera exclusive of the Lejeuneaceae commonly reported as epiphylls include Radula (Boecker et al 1993;Kamimura 1939;Olarinmoye 1974;Sjögren 1975Sjögren , 1997Pó cs 1982;Zhu & So 2001;Zhu et al 1994), Frullania (Boecker et al 1993;Kamimura 1939;Pó cs 1982;Schuster 1959;Sjögren 1975Sjögren , 1997Zhu & So 2001;Zhu et al 1994), and Metzgeria (Kamimura 1939;Pó cs 1982;Sjögren 1975Sjögren , 1997Zhu & So 2001;Zhu et al 1994). Perhaps significantly in regard to potential epiphylly, Radula and Frullania share the complicate-bilobed morphology with the Lejeuneaceae.…”

“…; the Southern Appalachians [35-36.5uN] (Davison 1997;Schuster 1959); Caucasus Mountains [43.5uN] (Pó cs 1982); Coastal Plain of the southeastern U. S. A. [25-32uN] (Diamond et al 1999;Ellis 1971;Guerke 1973); Zhejiang Province, China [27.92uN] (Zhu et al 1994); Canary Islands [28uN] (Boecker et al 1993); Sikoku and Niigata Prefecture, Japan [33.75uN; 38uN] (Kamimura 1939;Shirasaki 1997);England [51.75uN;52.97uN] (Porley 1996;Stevenson 2003);and British Columbia, Canada [49-53uN] (Vitt et al 1973) clearly demonstrate that bryoepiphyllae can develop outside of the equatorial zone.…”
