DOI: 10.1093/aobpla/ply034
Abstract: Abstract In vascular plants, there is a clear coupling between traits related to water and traits related to carbon economics. For bryophytes this coupling has been little studied but is expected to be strong, because… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/icad.12453
Abstract: Bryophytes represent favourable habitats for many arthropods, but their utilisation as a food source is marginal. While one of the largest monophyletic groups that represent obligatory bryophyte consumers are the Byrrhidae, host ranges for species… read more here.
