Three principal types of chromosomal sex determination are found in nature: male heterogamety
(XY systems, as in mammals), female heterogamety (ZW systems, as in birds), and …

The draft genome of the moss model, Physcomitrella patens, comprised approximately 2000
unordered scaffolds. In order to enable analyses of genome structure and evolution we …

The sequenced genome of the moss Physcomitrella patens provides a powerful tool for
comparative analyses of land plant genomes. In parallel, several tools for studying gene function …

… Cheilothela should be close to Ceratodon as well (McDaniel, 2005); its position in the
trees of the present study ( Figures 1 and 2 ) needs to be confirmed by further material. …

Unraveling the macroevolutionary history of bryophytes, which arose soon after the origin of
land plants but exhibit substantially lower species richness than the more recently derived …

… This observation provides support for the maximum parsimony ancestral state reconstruction
of sexual system of McDaniel et al. (7) but pushes back the origins of dioecy in the common …

We report the construction of a linkage map for the moss Ceratodon purpureus (n = 13), based
on a cross between geographically distant populations, and provide the first experimental …

The moss Physcomitrella patens has been used as an experimental organism for more than
80 years. Within the last 15 years, its use as a model to explore plant functions has …

Many bryophyte species have distributions that span multiple continents. The hypotheses
historically advanced to explain such distributions rely on either long‐distance spore dispersal …

The widespread adoption of RAD-Seq data in phylogeography means genealogical relationships
previously evaluated using relatively few genetic markers can now be addressed with …
