Morphogenesis in the moss physcomitrella patens
… was developed for recording the development of moss protonema using time-lapse video microscopy. This has provided a detailed record of the time-course of development from spore germination to the production of gametophores. Detailed records of the growth of primary and secondary chloronema, the …

Ecological genetics of the moss Physcomitrella patens
Molecular genetic studies using the model bryophyte Physcomitrella patens have advanced the body of knowledge surrounding plant functional genetics and molecular biology, yet very little is known about the ecology and population genetics of this species. Although the bryophytes are the second …

Contact allergy to fragrances with a focus on oak moss absolute
… immediately before the patch test occasion. Oak moss absolute (OMA), an extract derived from the lichen Evernia prunastri, is a common cause of fragrance contact allergy. OMA contains several allergens, among them atranol and chloroatranol, which have been found to be strong allergens in humans. …

Seasonal rainfall regime modulates genetic variation in the moss Pseudocrossidium crinitum
… sequence variation for 65 populations of the moss Pseudocrossidium crinitum across South Africa revealed the presence of a phylogeographic break corresponding to the split between the winter-rainfall zone (WRZ) and the all-year-(ARZ) and summer-rainfall zones (SRZ). Coalescent estimates of the …

Living in the moss. Mesofaunal communities of Racomitrium lanuginosum in Icelandic rangelands
In higher latitudes, mosses (Bryophyta) represent a prominent part of the vegetation cover and contribute significantly to multiple ecological functions. The moss layer is connected with the atmosphere and the soil systems and hosts a variety of organisms, from tiny arthropods to microscopic …

Understanding the Successful University Student: Constructing the Measure of Student Success (MOSS)
… and to construct the Measure of Student Success (MOSS) as an alternative option to the instruments that are currently available to measure student success. Two manuscripts are presented. In the first, undergraduate participants at a Canadian university were recruited and asked to identify factors …

Effect of Concentration of Sphagnum Peat Moss on Strength of Binder-Treated Soil
… the chemistry of the organic matter in the peat moss. For projects involving deep mixing of organic soils, the predictive equation will be used most effectively by fitting it to the results of bench-scale testing and then checking it against the results of field-scale testing.

From Genes to Traits and Ecosystems: Evolutionary Ecology of <i>Sphagnum</i> (Peat Moss)
<p><p>Plants in the genus <i>Sphagnum</i> (peat moss) are the dominant biotic features of boreal peatlands that store nearly one-third of Earth’s terrestrial carbon. Peat mosses are ecosystem engineers and create the peatlands that they inhabit through the accumulation of peat, or partially decayed …

Effects of soil temperature on Sphagnum moss litter quality and decomposition in a subarctic environment
… to the slow decomposition rate of Sphagnum mosses that facilitates carbon sequestration through the build-up of peat. As climate change is predicted to increase soil temperatures and decomposition rates of organic matter, studying environmental and intraspecific mechanisms that controls …

The Oligocene of southern Australia : ecostratigraphy and taxic overturn in neritic foraminifera / Graham David Moss.
This study investigates a late Eocene to Miocene succession of diverse mid-latitude assemblages of foraminifera from carbonates and calcareous muds and sands on the southern Australian margin. It contrasts foraminiferal profiles from the restricted St. Vincent and Murray Basins with the Otway Basin …
