The International Association of Bryologists proudly partners with Magnolia Press in producing the journal, Bryophyte Diversity and Evolution – a peer-reviewed, international journal for rapid publication of high quality papers on the diversity and evolution of bryophytes. It was previously published under the title Tropical Bryology (1989–2013).
In 2021, the journal published a very special issue. As a celebration of the 50th anniversary of The International Association of Bryologists (IAB), we present 15 open-access papers sponsored by IAB reflecting the state of the art in bryophyte biology. New fossils provided insights into past bryophyte diversity and integrative taxonomic approaches combine the ever increasing molecular data with thorough assessments of morphology and anatomy. Patterns of speciation, diversity at population level and geographic distributions are becoming better understood, and the interactions of bryophytes with their biotic and abiotic environment are increasingly being revealed.
