Revisiting the introduction history of Campylopus introflexus (Hedw.) Brid. in the Northern Hemisphere: first record and current distribution in Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain)
Campylopus introflexus (Hedw.) Brid. (Leucobryaceae, Bryophyta) represents one of the world’s worst invasive exotic bryophyte species (e.g. Stech and Dohrmann 2004; Hassel and Söderström 2005; Frahm and Stech 2006; Essl et al. 2013; Gama et al. 2017). It is native to the Southern Hemisphere and, more specifically, to South America, South Africa and Australasia, along with many sub-Antarctic insular territories (Gradstein and Sipman 1978; Hasse 2007). Even though there is mounting literature addressing the impacts of C. introflexus across the invaded range (Essl et al. 2013; Carter 2014; Alegro et al. 2018; Sérgio et al. 2018), it is uncertain from which continent it was introduced to Europe and North America. The species has exhibited significant ongoing range expansion in both continents and therefore poses a persistent threat to biodiversity and ecosystem services (Hasse 2007; Stech et al. 2010; Carter 2014).
