Introduction

The Amapá State presents several Amazonian physiognomies of high biological diversity mainly represented by dense Terra Firme forest, Várzea forest, mangrove, transition areas between forests, and savannah vegetation (IBGE 2004IBGE - Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística. 2004. Uso da Terra no Estado do Amapá. Relatório Técnico, pp. 1-143., Costa-Neto et al. 2006Costa-Neto, S.V., Senna, C.S.F. & Coutinho, R.S. 2006. Vegetação das Áreas Sucurijú e Região dos Lagos no Amapá.

Macrodiagnóstico do Estado do Amapá: primeira aproximação do ZEE. GEA/IEPA, Macapá, pp.1-140.). The bryophyte flora in the State is still poorly known if compared to other States in Brazil (Lisboa et al. 2006Lisboa, R.C.L., Tavares, A.C.C. & Costa-Neto, S.V. 2006. Musgos (Bryophyta) e hepáticas (Marchantiophyta) da zona costeira do Estado de Amapá, Brasil.

Bryophyte flora of two Natural Parks in Amapá: Richness, composition and new records. Annals of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences 92: 1-12.), especially considering that it is one of the most preserved, with more than 72% of its territory divided into 19 conservation units (12 national, five States, and two municipal) (Drummond et al. 2008Drummond, J.A., Dias, T.C.A.C. & Brito, D.M.C. 2008. Atlas das Unidades de Conservação do Estado do Amapá. MMA/IBAMA; Gea/SEMA. CDU, Macapá, pp.1-128.).

Herzog (1931)Herzog, T. 1931. Die Moose der Ph. V. Lützelburgschen Reisen durch Nordbrasilien. Hedwigia 71: 332-350. was the first work that made a study with bryophytes from the State of Amapá. He identified mosses and liverworts collected by von Lützelburg in northern Brazil, especially in the State of Amazonas and Pará. However, some collections of Herzog’s study were cited as “Staat Pará: Rio Oyapock”. The Oiapoque River is in the municipality of Oiapoque, in Amapá State, on the border with French Guiana. At the time of the publication of Herzog, the Amapá territory belonged to the Grão-Pará province (currently Pará State). Only in 1943, the Amapá State was separated from Pará and become a separate federal unit.

Annals of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences 92: 1-12. had already listed most studies on bryophytes in Amapá State (Crosby 1969Crosby, H.A. 1969 A Revision of the tropical American moss genus Pilotrichum.

In this study, they investigated the richness and composition of bryophytes of two Parks in Amapá, registering 63 new records for the State and three new records for the North region of Brazil. Also, they pointed out the need for more comprehensive studies on the bryophyte flora in the State.

A checklist is a good base for gathering registers of biodiversity, serving as a data basis for other studies. The bryophyte flora in Brazil is currently represented by 1.521 species, of which 18.1% are endemic, according to the BFG (2018). This number of species was reached through several studies carried out by different researchers, which enable to know the bryophytes that compose the flora of specific localities or geographic regions (e.g., Gradstein & Costa 2003Gradstein, S.R. & Costa, D.P. 2003. The Hepaticae and Anthocerotae of Brazil. Memoirs of The New York Botanical Garden 87: 1-318., Costa & Luizi-Ponzo 2010Costa, D.P. & Luizi-Ponzo, A.P. 2010. As briófitas do Brasil. In: R.C.

Journal of the Hattori Botanical Laboratory 98: 259-298.).

No comprehensive list with distribution data of bryophyte species is available for Amapá State, but the knowledge is spread in a few local studies (e.g., Oliveira-da-Silva & Ilkiu-Borges 2020Oliveira-da-Silva, F.R. & Ilkiu-Borges, A.L. 2020. Bryophyte flora of two Natural Parks in Amapá: Richness, composition and new records. Annals of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences 92: 1-12.). This paper aims to fulfill this gap presenting a checklist of the bryophytes in Amapá State, including distribution data.

. They were standardized for all specimens in which locality was registered in the publication. Species classified as “common” present records in more than four municipalities in the State of Amapá.

Results

In Amapá State, 174 species in 78 genera and 30 families of bryophytes were registered. Mosses were represented by 80 species, 39 genera, and 21 families, while liverworts were represented by 94 species, 39 genera, and nine families (table 1). None hornwort was recorded.

Lejeuneaceae Cavers and Calymperaceae Kindb. were the most diverse families found in the State of Amapá, with 73 and 23 species, respectively. The two families represented more than 55% of the most diversified families for the State (figure 1). Genera with a higher number of species were Syrrhopodon Schwägr. and Lejeunea Lib., with 12 and 11 species, respectively. The most common species of the mosses (recorded in four or more municipalities) were Callicostella pallida (Hornsch.) Ångström, Calymperes erosum Müll. Hal., Microcalpe subsimplex (Hedw.) W.R. Buck, Octoblepharum albidum Hedw., Syrrhopodon ligulatus Mont., Taxithelium planum (Brid.) Mitt., and Trichosteleum papillosum (Hornsch.) A. Jaeger, and of the liverworts were Ceratolejeunea coarina (Gottsche) Schiffn., C. cornuta (Lindenb.) Steph., Cheilolejeunea oncophylla (Ångstr.) Grolle & M.E. Reiner, and Leptolejeunea elliptica (Lehm. & Lindenb.) Schiffn.

Among 16 municipalities from Amapá, bryophytes were recorded only from seven ones. The municipality of Serra do Navio presented the highest number of species (109 spp.), followed by Macapá (77 spp.), Amapá (60 spp.), Oiapoque (42 spp.), Mazagão (14 spp.), Calçoene (9 spp.), and Laranjal do Jari (2 spp.) (figure 2).

Bryophyte flora of two Natural Parks in Amapá: Richness, composition and new records. Annals of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences 92: 1-12. registered 80% of the bryophyte records for the State.

Discussion

With about 70% of its territory included in legally protected areas, the Amapá State is the twentieth State (from 26 States) in the number of bryophyte species (Drummond et al. 2008Drummond, J.A., Dias, T.C.A.C. & Brito, D.M.C. 2008. Atlas das Unidades de Conservação do Estado do Amapá. MMA/IBAMA; Gea/SEMA. CDU, Macapá, pp.1-128., Costa & Peralta 2015Costa, D.P. & Peralta, D.F. 2015. Bryophytes diversity in Brazil. Rodriguésia 66: 1-9.). Although the bryoflora of Brazilian Amazon is being studied for over 200 years (Lisboa 1991Lisboa, R.C.L. 1991. Histórico da briologia na Amazônia brasileira. Boletim do Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi 7: 69-78.), the bryophyte richness in Amapá is still poorly known despite the diversity of the biome where it is inserted, but it is notably low the number of studies carried out in this State, not including a great area of its territory. Amazonas and Pará States, although with larger territories, have many physiognomies that also occur in Amapá. However, these two States presented a much higher number of bryophyte species (466 and 332 species, respectively) and a great number of studies (e.g., Costa et al. 2011Costa, D.P., Pôrto, K.C., Luizi-Ponzo, A.P., Ilkiu-Borges, A.L., Bastos, C.J.P., Câmara, P.E.A.S., Peralta, D.F., Bôas-Bastos, S.B.V., Imbassahy, C.A.A., Henriques, D.K., Gomes, H.C.S., Rocha, L.M., Santos, N.D., Siviero, T.S., Vaz-Imbassahy, T.F. & Churchill, S.P. 2011.

Rodriguésia 66: 1-9., BFG 2018). Our results showed that Amapá presented almost as the number of species found in Rondônia (166 spp.), but studies in this State was punctual (Lisboa 1993Lisboa, R.C.L. 1993. Musgos Acrocárpicos do Estado de Rondônia. Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi, Belém, pp. 1-272., Cerqueira et al. 2015Cerqueira, G.R., Ilkiu-Borges, A.L., Manzato, A.G. & Maciel, S. 2015.

Biota Amazônia 9: 57-58.).

Macrocolura sagittistipula (Spruce) R.M. Schust. is excluded from the list of species of Amapá. Gradstein & Costa (2003)Gradstein, S.R. & Costa, D.P. 2003. The Hepaticae and Anthocerotae of Brazil. Memoirs of The New York Botanical Garden 87: 1-318. cited the species as occurring in Amazonas and Amapá States based on the study of Grolle & Zhu (2002)Grolle, R. & Zhu, R-L. 2002. On Macrocolura and the Subdivision of Colura (Lejeuneaceae, Hepaticae). Journal of the Hattori Botanical Laboratory 92: 181-190., but the latter authors recorded this species in Amazonas only.

Yano & Lisboa (1988)Yano, O. & Lisboa, R.C.L. 1988. Briófitas do Território Federal do Amapá, Brasil. Boletim do Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi, sér. Bot., 4: 243-270. registered Mastigolejeunea auriculata (Wilson & Hook.) Schiffn. [= Thysananthus auriculatus (Wilson & Hook.) Sukkharak & Gradst.] in Mazagão municipality, however, the specimen deposited in MG herbarium (MG109797!) proved to be Thysananthus amazonicus (Spruce) Steph.

Cheilolejeunea savannae L.P.C. Macedo et al. is a species from savanna vegetation recently described by Macedo et al. (2020)Macedo, L.P.C., Bastos, C.J.P. & Ilkiu-Borges, A.L. 2020. On a new species of Cheilolejeunea (Spruce) Steph. (Lejeuneaceae, Marchantiophyta) from Amazonian savannas. Nova Hedwigia 111: 77-85.. This species was referred as C. discoidea (Lehm. & Lindenb.)

Bryophyte flora of two Natural Parks in Amapá: Richness, composition and new records. Annals of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences 92: 1-12..

The most abundant families, Lejeuneaceae and Calymperaceae, were expected to be since many studies in the Amazon recorded these families as the richest (e.g., Gradstein et al. 2001Gradstein, S.R., Churchill, S.P. & Salazar-Allen, N. 2001.

Richness of Marchantiophyta and Bryophyta in a protected area of the Brazilian Amazon. Acta Botanica Brasilica 28: 527-538., Cerqueira et al. 2017Cerqueira, G.R., Ilkiu-Borges, A.L. & Ferreira, L.V. 2017. Species richness and composition of epiphytic bryophytes in flooded forests of Caxiuanã National Forest, Eastern Amazon, Brazil. Annals of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences 89: 2371-2382., Oliveira-da-Silva & Ilkiu-Borges 2018Oliveira-da-Silva, F.R. & Ilkiu-Borges, A.L. 2018. Briófitas (Bryophyta e Marchantiophyta) das cangas da Serra dos Carajás, Pará, Brasil. Rodriguesia 69: 1405-1416.). The two richest genera (Syrrhopodon and Lejeunea) were also expected since they are well distributed in Brazil (Gradstein et al. 2001Gradstein, S.R., Churchill, S.P. & Salazar-Allen, N. 2001. Guide to the Bryophytes of tropical America. Memoirs of The New York Botanical Garden 86: 1-577., Gradstein & Costa 2003Gradstein, S.R. & Costa, D.P. 2003. The Hepaticae and Anthocerotae of Brazil. Memoirs of The New York Botanical Garden 87: 1-318., Costa & Peralta 2015Costa, D.P. & Peralta, D.F. 2015. Bryophytes diversity in Brazil. Rodriguésia 66: 1-9.). Syrrhopodon is a widely distributed genus in the tropics and subtropics and assembles acrocarpous plants morphologically diverse (Reese 1993Reese, W.D. 1993. Calymperaceae. Flora Neotropica 58: 1-102.), additionally, it is the fourth richest genera of mosses in Brazil (Costa & Peralta 2015Costa, D.P. & Peralta, D.F. 2015. Bryophytes diversity in Brazil. Rodriguésia 66: 1-9.). Lejeunea is the more complex and the largest genus of liverworts in Brazil (Reiner-Drehwald 2007Reiner-Drehwald, M.E. 2007. Preliminary key to the genus Lejeunea in Brazil. Available at http://www.drehwald.info/Lejeunea/Key_Lejeunea_Brazil_30_April.pdf (access in 21-X-2029).

, Costa & Peralta 2015Costa, D.P. & Peralta, D.F. 2015. Bryophytes diversity in Brazil. Rodriguésia 66: 1-9.) and well distributed in the neotropical region (Gradstein et al. 2001Gradstein, S.R., Churchill, S.P. & Salazar-Allen, N. 2001. Guide to the Bryophytes of tropical America. Memoirs of The New York Botanical Garden 86: 1-577.).

The most common species of our list were already expected to be found in Amapá due to their wide distribution in the Amazon and frequent occurrence in various ecosystems from humid rainforests to open environments (Santos & Lisboa 2003Santos, R.C.P. & Lisboa, R.C.L. 2003. Musgos (Bryophyta) do Nordeste Paraense, Brasil - 1. Zona Bragantina, microrregião do Salgado e município de Viseu.

Acta Botanica Brasilica 27: 1-141., Moura et al. 2013Moura, O.S., Ilkiu-Borges, A.L. & Brito, E.S. 2013. Brioflora (Bryophyta e Marchantiophyta) da Ilha do Combú, Belém, PA, Brasil.

Briófitas (Bryophyta e Marchantiophyta) das cangas da Serra dos Carajás, Pará, Brasil. Rodriguesia 69: 1405-1416.). Among these species, only Ceratolejeunea coarina was not reported in Marajó island (Brito & Ilkiu-Borges 2013Brito, E.S. & Ilkiu-Borges, A.L. 2013. Bryoflora of the municipalities of Soure and Cachoeira do Arari, on Marajó Island, in the state of Pará, Brazil.

The municipalities of Serra do Navio and Macapá harbored the largest number of bryophytes (figure 2). These results are due to intensive inventories of bryophytes in specific areas from Amapá, such as the studies conducted by Oliveira-da-Silva & Ilkiu-Borges (2020)Oliveira-da-Silva, F.R. & Ilkiu-Borges, A.L. 2020. Bryophyte flora of two Natural Parks in Amapá: Richness, composition and new records. Annals of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences 92: 1-12. in two municipal natural parks of upland Amazon forest in these two municipalities and by Lisboa et al. (2006)Lisboa, R.C.L., Tavares, A.C.C. & Costa-Neto, S.V. 2006. Musgos (Bryophyta) e hepáticas (Marchantiophyta) da zona costeira do Estado de Amapá, Brasil. Boletim do Instituto de Botânica 18: 163-172. in coastal areas of the Amapá municipality with collections in different phytophysiognomy such as várzea, mangrove, transition forest, and other vegetation types (figure 3).

There are still large areas lacking investigation works on bryophytes, such as the municipality of Laranjal do Jari. Alone, this municipality covers 30,783 km2 which represents more than 20% of the territory of Amapá (IBGE 2019IBGE - Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística. 2019. Available at https://cidades.ibge.gov.br/brasil/ap/amapa/panorama (access in 22-IV-2020).

) and comprises important conservation units such as the National Park of Tumucumaque Mountains (Drummond et al. 2008Drummond, J.A., Dias, T.C.A.C. & Brito, D.M.C. 2008. Atlas das Unidades de Conservação do Estado do Amapá. MMA/IBAMA; Gea/SEMA. CDU, Macapá, pp.1-128.). However, only Octoblepharum pulvinatum (Dozy & Molk.) Mitt. and Leucobryum martianum (Hornsch.) Müll. Hal. were registered in this municipality.

It is expected that with further expeditions to unexplored and important areas of Amapá, such as Parque Nacional Montanhas do Tumucumaque, Reserva Extrativista do Rio Jari and Floresta Nacional do Amapá, the number of species may considerably increase. The results reinforced the need for more comprehensive studies on the bryoflora from Amapá.
