Abstract

Marchantia emarginata Reinw., Blume & Nees, with nearly 30 assigned names, is considered the most taxonomically complex species in the family Marchantiaceae. Currently, this species is segregated into three subspecies, and this subspecific classification is widely accepted since its formal inception. However, due to its extensive morphological variation and ambiguous intraspecific delimitation, many bryologists struggle to accurately identify this species at a subspecific level. Through scrutiny of related literatures and morphological examination of over 200 herbarium specimens, the taxonomic history, issues, and various perspectives on this species were newly summarized. Each subspecies was found to exhibit excessive morphological diversity. Consequently, the prevalent subspecific classification of M. emarginata was partly challenged by the morphological evidence obtained in the present study. This species urgently requires taxonomic revision using an integrative approach.

继续还是提问？“潜多样性”与“杂性”的思考——关于麻豆属亚种分类的思考。， blme & Nees （Marchantiophyta, Marchantiophyta）复合体。

马尔吉纳塔·莱因。blumme & Nees，有近30个指定的名称，被认为是Marchantiaceae科中分类学上最复杂的物种。目前，该物种被分为三个亚种，这种亚种分类自正式开始以来被广泛接受。然而，由于其广泛的形态变异和不明确的种内划分，许多苔藓学家在亚种水平上难以准确识别该物种。通过查阅相关文献和对200余份植物标本馆标本的形态分析，对该物种的分类历史、存在的问题和各种观点进行了总结。每个亚种都表现出过度的形态多样性。因此，本研究中获得的形态学证据在一定程度上挑战了目前普遍存在的野田鼠属亚种分类。该物种迫切需要使用综合方法进行分类修订。

期刊介绍： Ecology and Evolution is the peer reviewed journal for rapid dissemination of research in all areas of ecology, evolution and conservation science. The journal gives priority to quality research reports, theoretical or empirical, that develop our understanding of organisms and their diversity, interactions between them, and the natural environment. Ecology and Evolution gives prompt and equal consideration to papers reporting theoretical, experimental, applied and descriptive work in terrestrial and aquatic environments. The journal will consider submissions across taxa in areas including but not limited to micro and macro ecological and evolutionary processes, characteristics of and interactions between individuals, populations, communities and the environment, physiological responses to environmental change, population genetics and phylogenetics, relatedness and kin selection, life histories, systematics and taxonomy, conservation genetics, extinction, speciation, adaption, behaviour, biodiversity, species abundance, macroecology, population and ecosystem dynamics, and conservation policy.
