Bryophytes and Pteridophytes

Field Museum bryologists have broad research interests that include systematics, biogeography, conservation, and education outreach. Geographical strengths include the Midwest U.S.A., Australasia and Oceania, and southern South America.

The bryology program gratefully acknowledges support in recent years from the National Science Foundation, the National Geographic Society, Encyclopedia of Life, the Global Biological Information Facility, and Conservation International.
