A Bryological Online Journal
Background
Frahmia is a "paperless journal" which is published in the internet. It was founded with the intention and attitude that always drove the late Jan-Peter Frahm to provide the means for bryologists to publish the results. Insofar it might be understood as the successor of the "Archive of Bryology" that was created by the late Jan-Peter Frahm in 1994.

It is likewise an open access journal distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License 3.0 (CC-BY), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited.

    Abstract: Bryophytes are small non-vascular plants which are very sensitive to narrow variations in environmental conditions and can be considered to be useful bioindicators of local environmental conditions. Althogh their growth is encouraged by constant wetness, stem growth is a vigorous measure which can work as a good proxy for local microclimatic conditions. This is important when faced with the predicted climate change in the Caatinga. Our aim is to validate a trait which is easy to measure and which can act as a local condition proxy in monitoring changes in harsh environments. Based on the Generalized Linear Model (GLM), gametophyte length vs. soil depth, and descriptive statistics, we evaluated the vigor of length measurements as a proxy for local conditions in harsh environments. Soil depth varied as expected for both shallow and deep soil islands. Gametophyte’s length is a trait with high variability in the moss under study and such variation is not correlated with soil depth. The distribution of length values was more aggregated in Campylopus pilifer, with stem length being higher than that seen in the literature for most of the selected gametophytes. We found that length is a poor predictor trait of local conditions in harsh environments. However, our results suggest that soil island can act as proof of harsh environments given that C. pilifer, a pioneer moss, possessed stems which were higher than expected

    Abstract: Jungermannia obcordata Lehm. & Lindenb. was published 1834 by Lehmann and transferred to Frullania in Synopsis Hepaticarum 1845. Yuzawa (1988) transferred 4 species as synonyms sub Frullania caulisequa (Nees) Mont., among them Frullania obcordata (Lehm. & Lindenb.) Lehm. & Lindenb. probably without having seen the type of Frullania caulisequa. The examinations of the types of Frullania obcordata (hb GLM) and Frullania caulisequa (hb STR) clearly proved both to be different. All specimens named since 1988 probably belong to Frullania obcordata, not to Frullania caulisequa and have to be re-checked. New synonyms of both species are provided and all synonyms known to us are listed. The lobuli of Frullania caulisequa indicate that it is close eto Frullania curvilobula Schäf.-Verw., D.F.Peralta & S.M.Siqueira. For F. caulisequa and allied species (“Diastaloba IV”) the new subgenus Caulisequa is proposed.

    Abstract: Frullania dasyueshanensis sp. nov. is described from Dasyueshan National Forest Recreation area and other localities in Taiwan. The new species was collected in mountain rainforests between 2230 and 2650 meter. It differs from all known Frullania species in Taiwan by its clavate-cylindrical terete perianth and can be clearly distinguished from the similar Frullania bhutanensis S.Hatt. in its overall smaller size, the large size of the lobules compared to the lobes and and the rounded, not appendiculate dorsal base of leaf lobe; Frullania sphaerantha S.Hatt. from India is best distinguished from the new species by smaller lobules compared with the lobes and the widely pyriform perianth with short beak. Frullania sinosphaerantha S.Hatt. et P.J.Lin is considered to be synonymous with Frullania bhutanensis. A key for Asian Frullania species with terete perianths is provided.

    Abstract: The knowledge on the bryoflora of Fiji is far from complete and available literature is but a handful of accounts from scattered locations. The region of Emalu, is a remote location along the transitional zone of central Viti Levu that is botanically under-collected with no historical citations at all about cryptogamic plants. Provided here is an annotated checklist and the first accounts of mosses, liverworts, and hornwort collections from the area. Specimens were collected from six different types of substrates and then processed for drying, preservation and identification. The collection resulted to a total of nine species of hornworts assigned to four genera and three families; 166 species of liverworts assigned to 57 genera and 22 families; 59 species of mosses assigned to 44 genera and 22 families. Substrate and distribution descriptions are provided as part of the annotated checklist.

    Abstract: Frullania azureomontana is described and illustrated from elfin forest of the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. It stands out by distant lobules (subgen. Diastaloba s.l.), relatively small size, and dispersed ocelli in leaf lobes, gynoecia and androecia. The only member of subgen. Diastaloba in the Neotropics with dispersed ocelli in leaf lobes so far known is Frullania vitalii Yuzawa & S.Hatt. from Brazil which differs in several details: smaller size, leaves and branches slightly incurved when dry, differently shaped underleaves often with 1-2 blunt teeth along outer margin, ocelli also in leaf lobules, and different ecology. For Frullania vitalii, ocelli are firstly reported from underleaves and androecia.

    Abstract: Bazzania species that look similar to B. subtilis which were collected by the first and third author in the Philippines are described and illustrated. Amongst these specimens B. acanonista and B. globuliformis were described as new to sience. Furthermore B. herzogiana, B. sikkimensis, B. vittata, and B. wiltensii, mentioned by other authors for their similarity with B. subtilis are also included. The critical comparison with herbarium specimens stored under, named or synonymized with B. subtilis resulted in the separation of the newly described B. acanoserrata, B. helgana, B. helgana var. minor, B. palmatifidoides, and B. reicheliana. In addition, B. indigenarum, B. palmatifida, and B. pulchella were studied and found to be species worthy of recognition.

    Abstract: This study brought a list of 100 bryophyte species divided into 13 orders, 36 families, and 60 genera. Bryofloral environments displayed invertebrates, predominantly arthropods, which included 21 orders and 86 species from 64 families. The observed invertebrates were residents, passersby, or transitory over bryophyte-covered areas. This study, conducted from August to October, covered an elevation range of 800 to 2000 meters. The correlation (r) between bryophytes and insects along altitudinal habitats was non-significant and negative (r = -0.1328). The Shannon-Weiner Index of 3.34 and 3.78 for bryophytes and invertebrates, indicated good diversity, and Simpson's Index of 0.0332 and 0.0233 showed high diversity and were evenly distributed with Equitability Index of 0.93 and 0.9357 for bryophytes and invertebrates, respectively.

    Abstract: Frullania hohenesteri is described and illustrated from Santa Catarina, South Brazil. It belongs to the subgenus Trachycolea sect. Irregulares because of its peculiar flattened and smooth perianth with two lateral keels. This unique feature makes it unmistakable among Neotropical or New World Frullania species, and it represents the first record of sect. Irregulares for the New World. The new species is compared with members of sect. Irregulares, previously known only from Australasia and New Guinea. Frullania patula is excluded from sect. Irregulares, and F. morobensis is considered doubtful to belong here.
