Welcome to Wikispecies!

Hello, and welcome to Wikispecies! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might like to see:

• Help:Contents provides a good introduction to editing Wikispecies.
• Templates are there to help you to follow our syntax and formatting standards.
• Have a look at Done and to do.

If you have named a taxon, then it is likely that there is (or will be) a Wikispecies page about you, and other pages about your published papers. Please see our advice and guidance for taxon authors.

If you have useful images to contribute to Wikispecies, please upload them at Wikimedia Commons. This is also true for video or audio files containing bird songs, whale vocalization, etc.

Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username (if you're logged in) and the date. Please also read the Wikispecies policy What Wikispecies is not. If you need help, ask me on my talk page, or in the Village Pump. Again, welcome! -- Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 07:57, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

Bryophytes Group

So bryophytes are confusing because well this Clade well doesn’t exist because of hornworts because their place in the tree of life might put them closer to Vascular plants than other bryophytes. Also mosses in the Polytrichopsida have similar properties to the vascular plants with similar things transporting nutrients making them their gametophyte larger than any other moss or Liverwort. So do bryophytes really exist or is this a made up clad to put hornworts with the Setaphyta like we did with the term “Protist” which doesn’t exist, so bryophytes don’t exist. Hornworts are not in the Setaphyta so bryophytes could just be a Synonym for Setaphyta. Atlas Þə Biologist (talk) 21:49, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Please consult the following reference and its updates for the most current hornwort taxonomy. --EncycloPetey (talk) 19:44, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Ok I read it and I mostly saw moss and some hornworts. Thanks for the 2 species of hornworts I saw I guess and you destroyed the Sphaerosporoceros page because some reason IDK. Atlas Þə Biologist (talk) 20:11, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

The article does not cover mosses, but it is the current world list of accepted species for liverworts and hornworts. Some species the are published are later discarded, as a result of additional research. The reasons that Sphaerosporoceros has been synonomized back into Anthoceros are explained in the references contained in the Söderström paper, which is the standard against which our list is checked, along with later revision papers. --EncycloPetey (talk) 23:12, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

He’s incorrect then. Sphaerosporoceros is its own genus and you are incorrect. Atlas Þə Biologist (number 2) (talk) 00:14, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

What is a Obelisk?

Obelisk in biology are rod shaped wild RNA like viroids infect Cytota or cellular life. Sadly there’s not much data about them so if I find more I will update you. Atlas Þə Biologist (talk) 20:21, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

As far as I know obelisks are currently considered incertae sedis and not (yet?) considered part of a proper taxon of their own right. –Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 11:12, 9 September 2024 (UTC).

That is correct. Obelisk are a incertae sedis but in the wild RNA incrtae sedis which includes the Obelisks. So far Obelisks are weird wild RNA. By the way wild RNA incudes the following viroids, virusoids, a group that includes non-pathogenic wild RNA & the 1 and only Obelisk. Atlas Þə Biologist (talk) 22:50, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
