1 2016 NORTHEASTERN NATURALIST 23(Monograph 13):1–35 A Checklist of the Marchantiophyta and Anthocerotophyta of New Brunswick, Canada Sean R. Haughian1,*, Bruce A. Bagnell2, Elizabeth Daley1, Katherine A. Frego1, Lucy Smith1, and Stephen R. Clayden2 Abstract - Specimens of liverworts from New Brunswick, Canada, have been collected and preserved in North American herbaria since the late 19th century. Although detailed records have been maintained, no species list has yet been published. Our goal was to compile and publish a comprehensive checklist, thereby providing a biodiversity baseline for the province and focusing future conservation work. Herein we provide the first annotated checklist of the liverworts and hornworts known to occur in this province. Beginning with an unpublished list generated largely from liverwort specimens at the Herbarium of the New Brunswick Museum (NBM), we added records by examining and/or compiling information from: (1) other unpublished and published sources within the province, especially research collections at the University of New Brunswick, Saint John; (2) liverwort specimens associated with focal species in multi-species collections at the NBM; and (3) specimens in out-of-province herbaria, located via the web portal of the Consortium of North American Bryophyte Herbaria. This checklist confirms the presence of at least 120 liverwort and 2 hornwort species, and suggests another 13 species that are likely to occur. We elaborate on frequency, distribution, and habitat preferences of these species. Recent collections have expanded and refined the list of species known to inhabit the province, but targeted surveys of under-represented counties, habitats, and species groups are needed to more fully catalogue New Brunswick's liverwort and hornwort diversity. Introduction Information on the geographic distributions of species can be particularly difficult to obtain when the species in question are diminutive, poorly known, or rare; with few exceptions, all 3 of these characteristics describe bryophytes. The small size of many bryophytes means that accurate identification often requires microscopic examination, thereby limiting contributions to those of experts. Likewise, the technical challenges involved in bryophyte identification, combined with an emphasis on spermatophytes in botanical education, mean liverworts and hornworts are poorly known by the general public. These factors limit the potential for engagement of non-specialist assistance with reporting species occurrences. Lastly, many bryophytes appear to have genuinely restricted or habitat-specific distributions, such that the probability of finding them, even when they are present, is low. Improving our understanding of bryophyte biogeography is therefore heavily dependent upon focused efforts by experienced specialists, and the most useful first step is to compile and publish a comprehensive checklist. 1University of New Brunswick, Saint John, NB, Canada. 2New Brunswick Museum, Saint John, NB, Canada. *Corresponding author - sean.haughian@unb.ca.

Clayden 2016 Vol. 23, Monograph 13 2 New Brunswick is dominated by variants of boreal, sub-boreal, and temperate forest (together called the Acadian forest), but it encompasses a much more diverse suite of ecosystems, including peatlands, sedge-meadows, salt and freshwater marshes, lakes and rivers, fluvial and oceanic cliffs, subalpine heathlands, and anthropogenic landscapes. This ecosystem diversity is the result of variable surficial geography (ranging from deep post-glacial till to exposed volcanic bedrock), topographic relief (ranging from sea level to over 800 m above sea level), and climate (ranging from 1200 to over 1800 growing degree days and 300 to 600 mm of summer precipitation) (Clayden 2000). New Brunswick is also remarkably variable within particular geologic zones, with some showing differences of 30 °C between July and January mean temperatures (Clayden 2000). Given the apparent sensitivity of bryophytes to atmospheric moisture (Dynesius et al. 2008) and substrate chemistry (Mills and Macdonald 2005), it should not be surprising to find that the geologic and climatic variability of New Brunswick supports a large number of moss species (Bagnell 1995, Bagnell et al. 1993). We believe this is also true for liverworts, and preliminary evidence appears to support this conclusion (B.A. Bagnell, unpubl. data). Floristic surveys, guides, and checklists are essential for conservation biologists because they provide a baseline for knowledge of species abundances and distributions, and highlight locations/habitats of conservation importance. New Brunswick’s regional flora is documented by a guide for vascular plants (Hinds 2000), and a checklist for the mosses (Bagnell 1995), but only scattered or unpublished data on liverworts and hornworts. Because some liverworts are known to be sensitive to human disturbance, and have very specific substrate requirements that are rarely met outside of mature, intact forests, they represent a group that is potentially at risk with increased levels of human disturbance (Fenton et al. 2003, Frego 2007). However, without a current and published checklist, differentiating species that are inherently rare from those that are simply under-collected, as well as identifying those that are at risk from human activities or those that are in danger of extirpation or extinction, is a largely subjective exercise for conservation biologists and forest managers. Our goal is to compile a current, comprehensive checklist of the liverworts and hornworts of New Brunswick, not only to provide a biodiversity baseline, but to inform and focus future conservation work. A brief history of liverwort collecting in New Brunswick The earliest collections of New Brunswick liverworts were made by James Fowler (1829–1923), a Presbyterian minister, teacher, and self-taught botanist who authored the first catalogue of the province’s plants, fungi, and lichens, which included 164 mosses and 26 liverworts (Fowler 1879). Fowler was appointed to a lectureship in natural sciences at Queen’s University in Kingston, ON, Canada, in 1880, and he became the university’s first professor of botany in 1891 (Clayden 2005). The emergence of his interest in bryophytes is revealed in correspondence with George W. Clinton of Buffalo, NY. On 6 January 1866, writing from the small rural community of Bass River, where he lived for many years, Fowler noted: “You advise me to commence the mosses and liverworts. I did so last summer but made Northeastern Naturalist 3 S.R. Haughian, B.A. Bagnell, E. Daley, K.A. Frego, L. Smith, and S.R. Clayden 2016 Vol. 23, Monograph 13 very little progress […] My microscope is very defective for delicate observations. I hope next summer (should a kind Providence spare me) to be as familiar with the more common species as I am with the phanerogamous plants around. The study of the specimens which you have kindly forwarded will be a valuable assistance” (unpublished letter; G.W. Clinton Papers, Research Library, Buffalo Museum of Science, Buffalo, NY). Prior to the late 20th century, many liverwort collections were from locations in nearby cities and towns (e.g., Saint John or Woodstock, NB, Canada). Details of many of these collections remain unpublished, but they can increasingly be accessed via on-line databases such as those of the Canadian Museum of Nature (http://collections.nature.ca/en/Search), the New York Botanical Garden (http:// sweetgum.nybg.org/science/vh/), and the Consortium of North American Lichen Herbaria (http://lichenportal.org/portal/index.php). We have drawn extensively on such sources in reconstructing the history of liverwort collecting in the province. A number of collections from the Saint John area, made in 1870 and 1872, passed through the personal herbaria of Thomas P. James and Lucien M. Underwood. It is not certain whether James collected these specimens; Underwood was too young at the time to have been the collector. James Fowler collected bryophytes in these years, but all the material from 1870 and 1872 with labels bearing his name originated from near his home at Bass River. Provincial contemporaries of James Fowler who made contributions included John Moser (1826–1907) and George U. Hay (1843–1913). Their collections were cited by the “Dominion Botanist” John Macoun in his Catalogue of Canadian Plants (1907). Macoun himself visited New Brunswick in 1899, collecting near Woodstock, Aroostook Falls, and other localities in the upper Saint John River valley, where he was joined by Hay. The Harvard botanists Merritt L. Fernald, J. Franklin Collins, and Emile F. Williams likewise visited Aroostook Falls in 1902 and collected several liverworts. Other collections made in New Brunswick during the early 20th-century period originated from some popular holiday destinations, including Campobello and Grand Manan islands in the outer Bay of Fundy; these locations probably offered relief from the summer heat of southern New England for some well-known specialists on other taxonomic groups. The mycologist and all-round cryptogamist William G. Farlow of Harvard University visited Campobello in 1899 and 1902. He collected at least 32 species of liverworts on the island, though these records have remained largely unpublished. A 1910 visit to Grand Manan by Elizabeth M. Dunham also yielded a few collections; her pioneering field guide, How to Know the Mosses, was published in 1916. In July 1914, Charles A. Weatherby of Harvard University, who wrote a vascular flora of Grand Manan, collected several liverworts at Grand Falls in northwestern New Brunswick. During the ensuing First World War, the ecologist and bryologist George E. Nichols of Yale University visited the Spruce Lake bog west of Saint John and made some incidental collections of liverworts associated with peat mosses. His focus at the time was on the investigation of various Sphagnum species for use in surgical dressings, much in need in the war effort (Nichols 1918). In 1922, William R. Taylor, then based at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA, collected material from Grand Northeastern Naturalist S.R. Haughian, B.A. Bagnell, E. Daley, K.A. Frego, L. Smith, and S.R. Clayden 2016 Vol. 23, Monograph 13 4 Manan; these collections represented 25 species, and were identified and reported by Annie Lorenz (1923). The only other collections known from the 1920s were made by Margaret S. Brown (in 1921 and 1923), well known for her studies of Nova Scotia mosses (Brown 1936), and by C.A. Weatherby (in 1926), in and around Grand Manan (Weatherby and Adams 1945). The 1930s were lean years for botanical field work in New Brunswick, probably due mainly to the economic hardship of the times (Fig. 1). A single liverwort specimen from the province is known for this decade —a collection of the common Bazzania trilobata made on Kent Island in 1936 by the well-known American plant ecologist Henry A. Gleason. From the mid-1940s to early 1950s, Herbert Habeeb (1917–1987) collected more than 130 liverwort specimens, largely near his family home at Grand Falls in Victoria County. Habeeb issued an exsiccata of New Brunswick mosses during this period and exchanged widely with other collectors, but his interests later shifted to the taxonomy of water mites (Bagnell et al. 1993). Other notable collectors of the 1950s included G.C. Cunningham of the Canadian Forest Service, the mycologist William I. Illman of Carleton University, Ottawa, ON, Canada, and Flora M. Berbee of the University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI, who carried out an unpublished ecological study of forest floor mosses in the Acadia Forest Experiment Station near Fredericton (Berbee 1957). The latter half of the 20th century saw a substantial increase in the number and range of botanical surveys in the province. Among the individuals notable for including liverworts in their studies were: Albion R. Hodgdon and Radcliffe B. Pike of the University of New Hampshire, on the Wolf Islands in the Bay of Fundy, Hinrich Harries of Mount Allison University, in southwestern New Brunswick, and several vascular plant specialists from the National Museum of Canada (now Figure 1. Liverwort collections in New Brunswick from 1870–2010, from collections represented on the Consortium of North American Bryophyte Herbaria (CNABH) web-database, and from collections at the New Brunswick Museum (NBM). Northeastern Naturalist 5 S.R. Haughian, B.A. Bagnell, E. Daley, K.A. Frego, L. Smith, and S.R. Clayden 2016 Vol. 23, Monograph 13 the Canadian Museum of Nature) who made numerous collections in Mount Carleton Provincial Park and other areas. Bryologist Robert Ireland, then also with the National Museum, collected widely in the province while preparing his (1982) Moss Flora of the Maritime Provinces. His later, co-authored keys to common and conspicuous bryophytes of eastern Canada (Ireland et al. 1987) include many liverworts occurring in the province. Fundy National Park has been a focus of survey efforts by several bryologists, including Ireland, René J. Belland, and Wilfred B. Schofield (Belland and Schofield 1994, Clay and Richards 1996). Belland, Schofield, and David P. Weber also surveyed the bryoflora of Kouchibouguac National Park (Belland 1992). The most prolific collector of liverworts and other bryophytes in New Brunswick in recent years has been Bruce A. Bagnell. With his colleague Gart Bishop, a specialist on vascular plants, Bagnell has surveyed many natural areas of conservation interest throughout the province (Bagnell and Bishop 2003, Bishop and Bagnell 1999); he also developed conservation ranks for 34 rare liverworts (Bagnell 2001). Since the early 1990s, Bagnell has added hundreds of liverwort specimens and dozens of new provincial records to the herbarium of the New Brunswick Museum, where he is currently a Research Associate. Over the last 2 decades, ecological studies in managed forests have also contributed substantially to the knowledge of liverwort diversity, distributions, and habitats in the province. In particular, Katherine A. Frego of the University of New Brunswick, Saint John, and her students have collected, identified, and reported many species from their research in southeastern and northwestern areas of the province (Fenton and Frego 2005, Haughian and Frego 2014, Ross-Davis and Frego 2002). Materials and Methods Although no checklist of the liverworts and hornworts of New Brunswick has been published, an annotated list of species, largely based on collections housed at the New Brunswick Museum (NBM), has been assembled by B.A. Bagnell (BAB) over the last 20 years. This list was the primary source used in provincial and national assessments for liverwort species by the Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre. We augmented it by adding (1) records from (a) published works on specific locations within the province, and (b) published floras that included the province; (2) previously unidentified taxa from multi-species bryophyte collections at the NBM; and (3) New Brunswick collections held in other herbaria through the Consortium of North American Bryophyte Herbaria (2010) database. In addition, rare, old, or extraordinary records were re-examined where possible (via specimen exchanges), to verify or refute the presence of those species in the province. For comparison with other jurisdictions, we compiled information from the Consortium of North American Bryophyte Herbaria (2010) because it represented the most standardized source that covered both the US and Canada. Although the numbers we derived from the Consortium data may be either slightly inflated due to duplicate collections at different herbaria or low due to incomplete documentation, we Northeastern Naturalist S.R. Haughian, B.A. Bagnell, E. Daley, K.A. Frego, L. Smith, and S.R. Clayden 2016 Vol. 23, Monograph 13 6 believe they are both generally unbiased (towards one jurisdiction or another) and mostly up-to-date, thereby ensuring that comparisons are fair. Nomenclature used herein for liverworts follows the genus-level treatment by Crandall-Stotler et al. (2009), and the species-level treatments by Faubert (2012), although for Chiloscyphus polyanthos var. rivularis, Frullania tamarisci spp. asagrayana, Lophocolea minor, L. heterophylla, and Mylia anomala, we follow the more traditional names used by Schuster (1966, 1969, 1974, 1980, 1992a, 1992b), because they are more prevalent in the NBM herbarium and in the Consortium of North American Bryophyte Herbaria (2010) and are currently under revision (Missouri Botanical Garden 2015). Varieties are included where material and historical records permit such assessments. Nomenclature used herein for hornworts follows Stotler and Crandall-Stotler (2005). Within each Division, we present species in alphabetical order of Latin binomials. Information in species accounts includes relevant (i.e., used specifically for a New Brunswick record, either on a specimen label or in the published literature) synonyms, basic substrate, habitat, and biogeographic information (e.g., the county and locality in which it was found; Fig. 2), the total number of known records, the number of records held at the New Brunswick Museum (NBM), the locations of other records (Table 1), and any publications that support or cite the record. We focused our specimen examination and verification efforts on those species that were considered rare (e.g., fewer than 3 NBM records) or unusual (i.e., new or revised records, or those that had not been reported for several decades), or the more common species that we examined for comparison with infrequent congeners. For brevity, we provide in-text citations for literature-based Figure 2. Map of New Brunswick, showing counties by name. Northeastern Naturalist 7 S.R. Haughian, B.A. Bagnell, E. Daley, K.A. Frego, L. Smith, and S.R. Clayden 2016 Vol. 23, Monograph 13 records, and specimen citations (minus the species name, country, and province) only for those specimens that we examined directly, along with the initials of the project observer who verified the specimen’s identity (SRH = S.R. Haughian, BAB = B.A. Bagnell). Because some specimens did not have collection numbers, and because not all cited specimens could be verified by the authors within the time-frame of this project, citations include collector and determiner names as well as both collection and accession numbers, in that order. When the same person collected and identified the specimen, only one name is provided. Results We confirmed the presence of 2 hornwort and 120 liverwort species, 2 of which have at least 2 distinct varieties, for a total of 124 unique taxa in New Brunswick. A single hornwort and 12 additional liverwort species likely also occur here, but require additional collection and verification work to confirm or refute their presence. The majority of these records are held at the New Brunswick Museum, with over 1500 liverwort collections presently in the herbarium. Including collections at other large herbaria across the continent, with the largest secondary concentrations at CANM and UBC, that number swells to over 2500 specimens. Data from the Consortium of North American Bryophyte Herbaria (2010) suggest that (1) New Brunswick may have fewer liverwort and hornwort species than adjacent jurisdictions (Maine and Nova Scotia), but (2) a large proportion of the differences in the number of recorded species is likely due to differences in historic collecting efforts (Fig. 3). Data from the Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre (2014) suggest that New Brunswick and Nova Scotia's liverwort flora are more comparable, with 124 and 127 liverwort species, respectively.

Data are from the Consortium of North American Bryophyte Herbaria (2010). because New Brunswick has over 30% more geographic area than Nova Scotia, additional collecting efforts may yet be required to attain comparable levels of liverwort and hornwort documentation. By county, New Brunswick liverwort records are neither equally represented in survey efforts nor even necessarily surveyed to a great extent; less than one quarter of the total liverwort and hornwort flora found in New Brunswick have been documented in several counties (Fig. 4). The best-studied counties are Albert and Northeastern Naturalist 9 S.R. Haughian, B.A. Bagnell, E. Daley, K.A. Frego, L. Smith, and S.R. Clayden 2016 Vol. 23, Monograph 13 Restigouche, followed by Charlotte, Saint John, and Kings, while the least-studied are Gloucester, Sunbury, and Carleton.

Discussion and Conclusions We confirmed the presence of 2 hornwort and 120 liverwort species, 2 of which have at least 2 distinct varieties, for a total of 124 unique taxa in New Brunswick. This compilation represents a significant step forward for documentation of New Brunswick bryophytes. Based on data from the Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre (2014) and the Consortium of North American Bryophyte Herbaria (2010), both the number of species and the collecting efforts for New Brunswick bryophytes lag behind nearby, similarly sized jurisdictions. However, while additional efforts are certainly required for New Brunswick, we believe this apparent difference is largely because (1) collection and documentation efforts were more widespread at an earlier time in Maine and Nova Scotia (e.g., Brown 1936), and (2) most collections from the NBM, and many from CANM and UBC, are not yet included in the Consortium of North American Bryophyte Herbaria (2010) database, compared to larger, New England-based herbaria, which house many of the early Maine and Nova Scotia collections. In addition, our research highlights another 13 species for which additional collection and verification efforts may quickly yield further improvements in bryophyte documentation; this finding reinforces the importance of both ecological study and targeted biodiversity-monitoring commitments from institutions such as the New Brunswick Museum. Based primarily on the habitat preferences of species that require additional collection or verification work, we suggest that botanists should target surveys towards (1) old, moist and shady forests, (2) open or partially treed bogs, and (3) exposed subalpine habitats. In all 3 habitat types, the most beneficial substrata to survey will be rotting logs and calcareous rocks, particularly in locations near flowing water. In addition, efforts should be made to survey habitats that are uncommon in Northeastern Naturalist S.R. Haughian, B.A. Bagnell, E. Daley, K.A. Frego, L. Smith, and S.R. Clayden 2016 Vol. 23, Monograph 13 32 the province, but common in adjacent regions. For example, surveying the small number of dry oak and pine forests in the province may yield confirmations or new records of such species as Frullania brittoniae. Knowledge of the biogeography of New Brunswick bryophytes would also benefit greatly from targeting undersurveyed counties, particularly Gloucester, Carleton, and Sunbury. Several species require additional study to determine varietal designations, both within collections of the NBM and more broadly. In particular, we recommend making additional collections and conducting a general re-examination of specimens of Cephaloziella rubella, Chiloschyphus pallescens, Chiloschyphus polyanthus, Diplophyllum taxifolium, Jungermannia exsertifolia, Lophozia ventricosa, and Schistochilopsis incisa. The genus Chiloschyphus in general requires clarification and re-examination due to frequently shifting concepts of varieties and species in the last several decades, while the other species have all shown additional varieties to be present in adjacent jurisdictions and may therefore also have more than one variety in New Brunswick. Although the study of liverworts and hornworts has been largely limited to a few specialized experts in the past, we believe it is important to engage with the public on liverwort documentation and conservation. Laypeople may not have the skillset to reliably determine the identity of many species, but public engagement is an important component of any biodiversity monitoring and conservation program. To this end, as well as to facilitate improved efforts of professionals, we have developed an interactive companion website for this checklist (Haughian et al. 2015). For laypeople, the website provides a brief introduction to liverworts and hornworts, and basic instructions on collecting, identifying, and preserving them. For professionals, we have included a downloadable, tabular summary of the distribution of New Brunswick species, which is hyperlinked to individual species accounts that include all of the information presented in the above checklist, as well as diagrams, photographs, and a distribution map. Knowledge of the liverwort and hornwort flora of New Brunswick has expanded considerably in recent years, and continues to do so, due largely to the collection and compilation efforts of a small number of individuals and organizations, such as the New Brunswick Museum. Although this publication represents a small effort, compared to the combined collecting and publishing efforts of many previous individuals and institutions, it is a useful step towards summarizing current knowledge, and focusing future efforts for bryophyte research in the province.
