Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Species richness was estimated higher in New World than Old World regions.
- Observation Species richness estimates identify the Neotropics as a hotspot.
- Observation Molecular diversity was almost evenly divided between New and Old World regions.
- Observation Neotropics accounted for only 20-35% of global peatmoss molecular diversity.
- Observation Tropical and boreal peatmoss molecular diversity levels were comparable.
- Observation S. sericeum was remarkably divergent from other Sphagna.
- Observation S. sericeum and S. lapazense together accounted for almost 20% of peatmoss diversity despite representing 0.7% of accessions.
