dc.description.abstractThis study used data from literature and data from the field to analyse the patterns of variation in life history characters among members of the liverwort family Lophoziaceae. A combination of Principal Component and Cluster analyses was used to analyse data from literature in testing for recurrent suites of life history variation among species of the family. Data from literature were also used to examine the relationship between mode of reproduction and reproductive system (sexuality) and between diaspore (spore or gemma) frequency and sexuality. Data from the field were used to establish diaspore (spore and gemma) sizes and their production per capsule or shoot and to test for relationships between diaspore size and production per shoot/capsule and also between diaspore sizes and proportion of germination.en_ZA
