# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Talk: Student Talks, part 2
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 19 Oct, 2026 at 07:30 pm (+13:00)
- **Event Description**: Speakers: Paul Bell-Butler and Lee Oliver, Victoria University of Wellington.

Paul—New Zealand’s bryophyte flora remains poorly understood – even basic knowledge is lacking for many liverwort species, with 23% of taxa classified as ‘Data Deficient’. The genetic and biogeographic affinities of the country’s non-vascular flora are also only beginning to be explored. Using a multi-gene phylogeny of the family Lophocoleaceae incorporating global sampling, we uncovered unexpected links between New Zealand species and northern hemisphere taxa, including a New Zealand endemic whose closest relatives are in northern temperate regions. Several genera were also found to be polyphyletic. Resolving these relationships improves our understanding of biodiversity in this often-overlooked group.
