A survey of the moss flora of the southernmost part of the Russian Primorsky Territory yielded several intriguing taxa, whose identity is assessed herein based on an integrative morpho-molecular approach. was previously known in inland Asia only from the Sino-Himalayan region and the new locality is distant from the earlier known ones to ca. 3000 km.

An analysis of the phylogenetic affinities of the species based on nuclear ITS and plastid L-F regions showed that it is resolved within the clade corresponding to sect.

The collected plants are described here as sp. nov.

- The study analyzes soil fungal diversity globally by examining over 4,000 topsoil samples from various ecosystems, revealing how different environmental factors influence fungal communities.
- It demonstrates the effects of temperature and precipitation on local species richness (alpha diversity) and how these factors contribute to variations in fungal composition and evolutionary relationships (beta and phylogenetic diversity).
- The research integrates fungal diversity into global biodiversity frameworks, providing maps and insights that can aid in conservation efforts and ecological studies worldwide.
Article Synopsis
- The study clarifies the relationships within the families Aongstroemiaceae and Dicranellaceae, identifying certain genera as polyphyletic and suggesting changes to their classifications.
- It introduces a new molecular marker and expands the analysis by including additional taxa and plant collections from North Asia, focusing on their morphological traits like leaf shape and capsule structure.
- Based on comprehensive evidence, three new plant families and six new genera are proposed, alongside amendments to existing family and genus classifications, including descriptions of two new dicranelloid species.
