ABSTRACT. In the past decade, floristic studies have rebounded as checklists are fundamental for executing
meta-analyses which address ecological, biogeographic and evolutionary questions of broad geographic
scope. Despite the importance of checklists as baseline records of local diversity and distributions, few
attempts have been made to quantify sampling effort and species detectability within and among study
sites. Quantitative floristics, which combines the use of checklists with statistical methods for estimating
local richness, is a promising method for characterizing the completeness of checklists especially for
cryptic components of biodiversity. For bryophytes, quantifying levels of detectability among substrate
types is of central importance, especially in tropical forests where much of their diversity is harbored in
difficult to access habitats such as the tree canopy. In light of the need to establish quantifiable protocols
of detectability in poorly studied tropical regions, we present a bryophyte checklist for the Jaú National
Park (JNP), located in the heart of the Amazon, and estimate local species richness and detectability as it
relates to five substrate types (epiphytes, epiphylls, epixylic, epipetric and soil). Identifications from 712
collections made during four excursions over the past decade to JNP revealed 150 species consisting of two
new country records and five new state records, along with 20 rarely collected Amazonian endemics.
Despite our intensive sampling, which included systematic canopy collections during one of the
excursions, Chao richness index estimated that ca. 46 species (nearly one-third of those presently
observed) remain undetected from JNP. Furthermore, levels of detectability among substrates varied
widely, where observed epiphyte richness, in contrast to the other substrates types, most closely
approximated the estimates. Our results illustrate the need for quantitative richness estimates as a means
to increase the accuracy of checklist data, particularly when used in meta-analyses addressing global-scale
questions.

The Amazon is the largest tropical ecosystem on
Earth, and its biodiversity remains relatively unex-
plored across large areas. Despite its vast expanse,
the Amazon is widely threatened by anthropogenic
pressures contributing to continued loss of its
biodiversity and native habitats (Laurance et al.

brought about a surge in the documentation of
Brazil’s bryoflora (Flora do Brasil: Costa & Peralta
2015; Gradstein & Costa 2003; Yano 2006a,b);
however, most of this recent floristic work has been
concentrated in extra-Amazonian biomes. To date,

sive resources on hepatics and mosses, respectively,
of the Amazon Basin.
Quantitative studies of lowland Amazonian
epiphytic bryophytes (Campos et al. 2015; Mota &
ter Steege 2013) have revealed that many recently
described taxa assumed to be narrow endemics (e.g.,
Dauphin 2003; Ilkiu-Borges & Gradstein 2008;
Zartman & Ackerman 2002) are common and
widespread at the continental scale, suggesting that
bryophytes, particularly those of the forest canopy
and rheophytes remain systemically under collected
throughout their Amazonian ranges (see also
Gradstein 1994; Gradstein & Costa 2003). In support
of this hypothesis as well are results from bryo-
floristic studies compiled from both historical (see
Costa et al. 2017) and recent (Costa 2017; Costa
2000; Sierra et al. in press) expeditions which
repeatedly report large range expansions for numer-
ous taxa. Furthermore, a recent acceleration in the
rates of species descriptions from the Amazon
provides additional evidence that taxonomic knowl-
edge of Amazonian bryophytes is far from complete
(Bastos & Zartman 2017; Bastos et al. 2016; Bastos &
Zartman 2016; Brito & Ilkiu-Borges 2012a; Gradstein
& Costa 2018; Gradstein & Ilkiu-Borges 2018; Ilkiu-
Borges & Gradstein 2008; Ilkiu-Borges 2011; Moura
et al. 2012; Pócs 2002; Zartman & Ackerman 2002).
Checklists are an important source of taxonom-
ic, systematic and distributional data that may be
used to address questions rooted in ecological and
biogeographical frameworks (Söderström et al.
2008). Bryophyte-based meta-analyses have taken
advantage of these valuable sources of information
to tackle global-scale topics such as, for example, the
presence of latitudinal diversity gradients (Wang et
al. 2016), spatial patterns in beta diversity (Norhaz-
rina et al. 2016), range sizes and reproductive life
history traits (Laenen et al. 2015), and climate
change impacts on distributions (Patiño et al. 2016).
However, particularly pertinent for tropical bryo-
phytes, such as epiphytes and epiphylls, character-
ized by reduced gametophyte sizes of mixed colonies
and inaccessible habitats, is the question of detect-
ability. That is, how can sampling completeness be
quantified among checklists to account for variation
in detectability? This question is of exceptional
concern when dealing with survey projects in
conservation units, such as national parks and
biological reserves, as they may serve as baseline
sites for distributional and demographic studies

since such areas are interminably protected from
local anthropogenic disturbance.
The Rio Negro is the largest tributary of the
Amazon Basin, and its upper reaches along the
Colombian and Venezuelan borders harbor numer-
ous bryophyte taxa known only from either the
holotype or few other historical collections (Costa et
al. 2017; Pócs 2002; Reese 1993; Schuster 1999, 1991;
Spruce 1884–1885). Indeed, major floristic gaps have
been documented for flowering plants (Cardoso et
al. 2017; Hopkins 2007) and hepatics alike (Grad-
stein & Costa 2003) throughout the Amazon Basin.
To our knowledge, no bryophyte checklist exists
from any National Park or Biological Reserve within
the 5,500,000 km2 of the Amazon forest. Jaú
National Park (JNP), of the middle Rio Negro,
covers ca. 2.4 million hectares of lowland Amazonian
rainforest (Fig. 1), is the second largest national park
in Brazil, and the third largest unit of protected
tropical terrestrial ecosystem on Earth. More im-
portantly, it is the only federal conservation unit in
the Amazon Basin that encompasses an entire
watershed of a major tributary. Located 220 km
northwest of Manaus, JNP harbors dense (77%),
open (14%), and transitional (7%) rainforest as well
as white-sands campinarana (2%) forests (FVA
1998).
In light of the importance of quantifying
detectability and estimating species richness of less
conspicuous components of Amazonian biodiversi-
ty, we present a bryophyte checklist for JNP resulting
from multiple collecting expeditions made by several
of the authors over the past decade. Our principal
objectives with the present data are to: 1) present a
list of the bryophyte species from JNP with their
updated geographical distributions; 2) employ non-

parametric quantitative methods to estimate local
species richness among Amazonian substrate types;
and 3) quantify variability in species detectability as
it relates to substrate type. A secondary goal of this
study is to establish a protocol for bryophyte
documentation in tropical regions in the hopes that
tropical bryologists may standardize quantitative
floristic surveys, thus allowing for more statistically
confident inter-site comparisons.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Sampling and checklist. Specimens were col-
lected in October of 2007, February of 2008,
November of 2016 and September of 2017 from
the lower Jaú and lower to middle Carabinani rivers
(Table 1) resulting in a total of 712 specimens.
Collections were made in terra firme (dense rain-
forest), campinarana (high white-sand forest), cam-
pina (low white-sand forest), and igapô (seasonally
inundated forest) (Fig. 2). During the September
2017 excursion, collections were made from five
height zones of full size canopy trees in igapô and
terra firme forests. The tree canopy bryoflora was
collected using traditional Amazonian methods,
which entails the use of a belt (peconha) cinched
tightly around the ankles to allow for the climber to
shimmy up the trunk of mid-sized trees. From the
vantage point of the canopy, collecting pruners with
aluminium pole extenders are employed to cut outer
branches for study once fallen to the ground. From
the inner canopy, collections are made with
machetes and knives by removal of live bark upon
which the epiphyte resides. In the other three
excursions, collections were haphazardly made at
various locations within the study region as cited
above. All specimens are deposited at one of several
herbaria (INPA, LG, PC, UFBA) as indicated for each
sample. Nomenclature follows the Liverwort World
Checklist (Söderström et al. 2015) for liverworts,
with updates, and Flora do Brasil for mosses (Costa
& Peralta 2015).

Species richness estimation. To estimate the
total bryophyte species richness for JNP based on the
current sampling, species accumulation curves (100
permutations) were generated from sample based
rarefactions using the Coleman method (Coleman et
al. 1982). Species accumulation curves were also
generated using the same method for five substrate
types (epiphytic, epiphyllic, epixylic, epipetric and
soil) in order to estimate substrate specific differ-
ences in species detectability.
Using the entire data set, species richness was
estimated by major taxonomic groups (liverworts
and mosses) as well as for substrate type by
extrapolating the number of undetected species
based on the current species pool using the non-
parametric estimating method Chao Index with
standard error (Chao 1987). Since the Chao
estimation did not stabilize with the present
sampling number for some substrates (e.g., epixylic,
epipetric and soil), we applied first-order Jackknife
and Bootstrap estimators, which may reduce bias of
small sample sizes (Gotelli & Colwell 2001), with
standard error estimated following Smith and van
Belle (1984). All analyses were carried out using R
software (version 3.2.5) (2017). The species accu-
mulation curves and species estimation analysis were
done using the vegan package (Oksanen et al. 2016).
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Bryophyte checklist of the Jaú National Park.
The bryophyte flora of the Jaú National Park is
represented by 19 families, 58 genera, and 150
species, (109 liverworts and 41 mosses), seven of
which we were not able to identify to species. The
most diverse families were Lejeuneaceae (81 spp.)
and Lepidoziaceae (11 spp.) for liverworts, and
Calymperaceae (16 spp.) and Sematophyllaceae (9
spp.) for mosses, in total accounting for 78% of the
JNP flora. The richest genera Cheilolejeunea 15 spp.,
Cololejeunea 12 spp. and Ceratolejeunea 6 spp. for

liverworts, and Syrrhopodon 12 spp. for mosses
account for 30% of the bryophyte richness.
Two species of epiphyllous liverworts are new
country records for Brazil (Cololejeunea moralesiae and
C. cornutissima). Five species are new state records for
Amazonas (Cheilolejeunea ornata, C. polyantha, C.
intertexta, Cololejeunea panamensis, Fissidens steerei).
The most common liverworts are Cheilolejeunea
aneogyna, Pycnolejeunea contigua, Cheilolejeunea ne-
blinensis, Cololejeunea surinamensis, Archilejeunea fus-
cescens, Acrolejeunea torulosa, Vitalianthus aphanellus,
and the mosses Leucobryum martianum and Syrrho-
podon xanthophyllus. Various species common in JNP
were previously considered rare with a restricted
distribution (Cheilolejeunea neblinensis, C. assurgens,
C. asperiflora and Vitalianthus aphanellus) as they were
previously recorded from only a few localities (Bastos
2017; Gradstein & Costa 2003).
Diversity and species richness estimation. A
total of 150 species from 1,152 records in 712
samples were collected from the five substrate types
as follows: 104 spp. as epiphytes (trees, shrubs,
branches or twigs), 38 spp. as epiphylls (leaf
surfaces), 31 spp. epixylic (decomposing logs), 16
spp. epipetric (rocks) and 24 spp. on soil (white
sand, or dirt). Considering the entire dataset, 68 spp.
(45.3%) are singletons (sensu Chao 1987), either
recorded once (44 spp.) or twice (24 spp.). Among
substrates our data include a high percentage of
singletons, 53.8% of epiphytes (56 spp.), 47.4% of
epiphylls (18 spp.), 71.0% of epixylic (22 spp.),
68.7% of epipetric (11 spp.), and 62.5% on soil (15
spp.). A singleton within a substrate might occur
more frequently on another substrate as a generalist.
Rarefaction curves show that species richness is close
to saturation when the complete data set is

considered (Fig. 3A); however, when subdivided by
substrate only the epiphyte curve approximated
saturation (Fig. 4A compared to Fig. 4B–E).
All three quantitative estimators, Chao index,
Jackknife and Bootstrap, showed that the bryophyte
flora of the JNP is not completely represented, as
many species remain undetected across all substrates
(Table 2). Specifically, estimates suggest that the
local species richness of the region sampled in JNP is
ca. 196 species (Fig. 3B), corresponding to 134 spp.
of liverworts and 73 spp. of mosses (Table 2),
suggesting that nearly one-third (~46 spp.) remain
undetected for the JNP.
Even though the accumulation curve showed
that the current species richness recorded was close
to saturation (Fig. 3A), around ~20–40 species
remained undetected based on two of the quantita-
tive estimators (Fig. 3B). The same estimation was
observed for the richest substrate studied (epiphyte)
with estimates of ~40 species more than observed
(Fig. 5A). In the other substrates, (epiphyll, epixylic,
epipetric and soil), the species accumulation curves
were far from reaching the asymptote, but the
species richness estimations were inconsistent,
pointing to one third to a half of the species more
than observed (Fig. 5B–E). As illustrated by the
disparity among observed and estimated richness for

the JNP dataset, species richness estimates generated
from datasets well represented by singletons are
predicted to have proportionally more undetected
species than those datasets dominated by repeats
(Gotelli & Cowell 2001).
Epiphylls are rich communities, with species
usually diffusely associated with local habitat or
microclimate (Sonnleitner et al. 2009)—a feature
that decreases their detectability. Continued sam-
pling of different habitats would most likely allow us
to reach the estimates of ~101 epiphylls expected for
JNP. Indeed, the only comprehensive epiphyll survey
conducted at a much smaller scale in the Amazon
forest accounted for ~67 species (Zartman & Ilkiu-
Borges 2007).
Species estimation of epixylic, epipetric and soil
bryophytes tend to surpass more than half of the
observed species richness with Chao Index. On the

contrary, Jackknife and Bootstrap estimated that
~10 species remain undetected. These incongruent
estimates could be a bias due to the unevenness of
the rank abundance distribution, the sampling
intensity or the performance of the estimators.
Moreover, the patchy characteristic and lower
availability of suitable substrates (Söderstörm &
During 2005), may be another reason for the
apparently low detectability of epixylic, epipetric
and soil bryophytes.
When comparing the three quantitative estima-
tors, the Chao index presented the highest estima-
578 The Bryologist 121(4): 2018
tion and standard error for substrates where the rank
abundance was represented more than half by
singletons. Chao Index uses the number of singletons
(those 2 registers) in the dataset to estimate species
richness. Once species have been recorded more than
twice, the Chao Index assumes that all species have
been detected. Likewise, Jackknife considers the
number of singletons in its richness estimation
algorithm; however, it utilizes a narrow optimum
sample size range making it likely to underestimate
true species richness in small sample sizes and
overestimate it in large ones (Gotelli & Cowell 2001).
According to Brose et al. (2003), the performance of
species estimators depends on the presence of
singletons in the data (evenness of the rank
abundance distribution), the sampling intensity,
and the true species richness of the study system.
A floristic survey of the Upper Kabalebo River
in West Suriname (Florschütz-deWaard & Bekker
1987), an area comparable in size, altitude and
habitat types to JNP, shows similar results in species
richness. In their inventory, however, the canopy
was not completely explored and epiphylls were
also not included. Following an update in the
nomenclature of the bryophytes of Kabalebo River
and considering the epiphyllous species, it is most
likely that species richness in this area will be shown
to be higher than that of our estimates for JNP. This
putatively higher species number in Kabalebo River
could be due to the influence of its proximity to the
Caribbean coast and influence from maritime
winds and higher annual precipitation than com-
pared to JNP.
Biogeography of the Jaú National Park: Rare
and endemic species. The Jaú National Park is
represented by 85 species with Neotropical distribu-
tions, 16 spp. pantropical, 14 spp. Afro-American, 28
spp. Amazonian endemics, and seven unidentified
species. Two genera registered in the JNP, Verdoor-
nianthus (2 spp.) and Schusterolejeunea (1 sp.), are
Amazonian endemics (Gradstein & Costa 2003). The
upper reaches of the Amazon (particularly in the Rio
Negro Basin) are considered a center of endemism
for certain genera of Lejeuneaceae such as Cheilole-
jeunea, Cololejeunea and Ceratolejeunea, which also
correspond to the most diverse genera in the JNP
(Costa et al. 2017; Gradstein & Costa 2003).
Moss richness is relatively low with only four
families representing more than 50% of the total
number of moss species in the Amazon forest
(Churchill 1998). This is also reflected in JNP where
two families represent 61% of all collected moss
species. The Calymperaceae are a major component
of the epiphytic flora in lowland Amazonia, and in
the JNP are highly diverse accounting for the
majority of moss species (16 spp.) with various
endemic and rare species, such as Calymperes
mitrafugax, Syrrhopodon annotinus, S. fimbriatus, S.
helicophyllus and S. xanthophyllus (Reese 1993).
Twenty nine species collected during this study
were considered rare due to their current worldwide
distributions; 20 are restricted to the Amazon Basin.
Four of these taxa are endemic to the Brazilian
Amazon (Cheilolejeunea asperiflora, C. papulosa, C.
polystachya and Octoblepharum leucobryoides). Of the
29 rare species, eight are scattered throughout the
Neotropics, representing disjunct distributions: Cen-
tral America-Amazon (Cololejeunea moralesiae, C.
panamensis, C. schusteri, Syrrhopodon flexifolius),
Caribbean-Amazon (Cololejeunea spruceana, C. cor-
nutissima), Amazon-Atlantic forest (Vitalianthus
aphanellus, Syrrhopodon cymbifolius) and Andes-
Amazon-Atlantic forest (Cheilolejeunea ornata).
CONCLUSIONS
Here we present a checklist of bryophytes and
quantify variability in substrate detectability from
one of the largest federally protected reserves in the
Amazon Basin. Despite our intensive long-term
sampling approach, non-parametric richness indices
estimate that more than one-third of the total
observed species remain undetected. Coincidentally,
the area sampled for this study (lower and middle
Carabinani and Jaú Rivers) is roughly one-third of
the total area of the JNP, provoking the question as
to whether more widely scattered sampling points
would have resulted in greater detectability. None-
theless, bryophytes are inconspicuous plants, partic-
ularly in tropical forests with complex canopy
architecture, thereby necessitating intensive surveys
to ensure checklist accuracy.
Evaluating gaps in floristics surveys by using
non-parametric estimators is an important tool for
quantifying patterns of diversity and distribution.
Clearly sampling error, that is species left undetected
in a given floristic survey, is inevitable. However, the
variation in sampling error among sites, whether due
to differences in sampling intensity or the unique
collecting challenges inherent to every biome, is
quantifiable. Such information would offer an

understanding as to how detectability levels vary
among checklist sites which would ultimately
contribute to reducing the ‘‘noise’’ inherent in
meta-analysis based on checklist data.
Nonetheless, checklists remain the baseline
source of information for addressing large-scale
ecological and evolutionary questions. The principal
assumption, however, of meta-analyses conducted
with checklist data is that there is little to no inter-
site variation in species detectability. Here we suggest
that the degree of species detectability of a particular
survey is not only based on sampling intensity, but
rather based on the combination of sampling
intensity, approach and inherent collecting challeng-
es, all of which can be jointly accounted for through
a quantitative floristic approach.

Liverwort and moss taxa are classified into
families and listed in alphabetical order by genera.
For each species we include voucher numbers and
information on habitat conditions. When pertinent,
notes are included for species about currently known
geographical distributions as well as novel morpho-
logical features observed. New country records for
Brazil are marked with (**) and new state records for

species is known from Spruce’s type locality in
Venezuela, along Rı́o Negro near San Carlos
and more recently in Brazil from the Serra
Aracá (CEZ pers. obs.). The ecology of this
species from field observations entails that it
usually grow on log or soil in white sand forest.

bryum martianum, Xylolejeunea crenata, Archi-
lejeunea fuscescens. Note: Plants from JNP vary

considerably in size, lobule length and shape,
and presence of low lens shaped papilla on leaf
cells. Fertile plants differ from typical C.
neblinensis (Ilkiu-Borges & Gradstein 2008) by
being autoicous, with small trigones and
gynoecia on very short branches lacking inno-
vations. Although Costa et al. (2017) claimed
this species was only known from its type
locality and Serra Bela Adormicida of the upper
Rio Negro, it is actually widely distributed
throughout Amazonia (Mota & ter Steege 2013;
Campos et al. 2014; Bastos 2017), and is a
common epiphyte in JNP.

collections from Serra do Aracá (Zartman
9622, INPA) and Roraima (G.T. Prance et al.
19993, INPA). The species seems restricted to the
Brazilian Amazon region, since there are no
references to other localities.
*Cheilolejeunea polyantha A.Evans, Zartman 9999,
10049 (INPA), epiphyte.
Cheilolejeunea polystachya (Spruce) Gradst. & Ilk.-
Borg., Zartman 7469.1, 10122 (INPA), rheophyte

rheophyte growing on rocks in fast flowing
streams and rivers of the Rio Negro basin in the
Amazon. Also, found in collections from São
Gabriel, along Rio Cariua from Rio Curicuriari
to Cachoeira Piraiauara (Schuster 79-16-831, F).
Endemic from Brazil. The species seems re-
stricted to the Amazon region, since there are
no references to other localities.
