How do the principal megabiases in the fossil record affect the discovery of past bryophyte diversity?
Discovery and documentation of bryophyte fossils are biased by socio-economic and language factors, which affect significantly the structure of the fossil record of the group, at least in terms of taxonomic diversity. "Parachute science" did not and does not significantly influence the documentation of fossil bryophytes.
