[bionet.population-bio] Tortula ruralis complex

CARMINE@unc.bitnet (01/24/91)

=======
I am a PhD student and I am starting a study on the
Tortula ruralis complex (Bryophyta, Musci, Pottiaceae)
I will study the taxonomy and systematics of this group in the
mediterranean region (mainly southern Italy and SE Europe) but will
consider also other regions, as a basis for further work on
its ecology.    My aim would be to study natural selection
in the wild on this group (or on selected species in this group).
There is someone that can give me information on studies on this
group, particularly in relation to natural selection (e.g. popu-
lation studies, in the wild or not), or on other groups of bryophytes
(in particular mosses)?
Thank you to everyone (if any) that will write.
Sincerely,
Carmine Colacino
