- Observation Sexual expression was high in Crossomitrium patrisiae, with 76% of ramets sexually expressed.
- Observation Crossomitrium patrisiae showed a strong male bias, with 0.43 females per male at ramet level.
- Observation 40% of all female ramets bore sporophytes.
- Observation 74% of female ramets in mixed colonies bore sporophytes.
- Observation Sexes co-occurred in 36.7% of shrubs.
- Observation Sexes co-occurred in 12.8% of colonies.
