The Taxonomy of the Caloplaca Citrina Group (Teloschistaceae) in the Black Sea Region; with Contributions to the Cryptic Species Concept in Lichenology The Lichenologist 41(6): 571–604 (2009) © British Lichen Society, 2009 doi:10.1017/S0024282909008317 The taxonomy of the Caloplaca citrina group (Teloschistaceae) in the Black Sea region; with contributions to the cryptic species concept in lichenology Jan VONDRÁK, Pavel Rˇ ÍHA, Ulf ARUP and Ulrik SØCHTING Abstract: A new taxonomy of the Caloplaca citrina group in the Black Sea region is presented. It is based on the nrDNA ITS molecular data, chemistry (anthraquinone contents) and 20 morphological characters. Six species previously known in the region are accepted: Caloplaca arcis, C. calcitrapa, C. dichroa, C. flavocitrina, C. geleverjae, C. limonia. Five new species are described: Caloplaca arcisproxima, C. austrocitrina, C. communis, C. confusa and C. nigromarina. Seven further species, Caloplaca britannica, C. citrina, C. marina, C. maritima, C. microthallina, C. ora and C. phlogina are also treated briefly. Some maritime species known from the Atlantic coast of Europe are absent from the region, and, surprisingly, Caloplaca citrina s. str. could not be confirmed from the study area. A key to the species present in the region is provided, although morphological characters are of very limited value in this group. The variability and taxonomic importance of particular features are discussed. No significant differences in secondary chemistry were observed among the species. Many examples of convergence and some semi-cryptic species were revealed by molecular data. The term ‘semi-cryptic species’ is introduced here into lichenology for those species which cannot be clearly diagnosed by their morphology, but which are determined by other characters, mainly by their ecology and distribution. We propose to describe formally such species, in spite of difficulties with subsequent morphological identification. Key words: alveolate cortex, Caloplaca citrina clade, lichens, nrDNA ITS, semi-cryptic species, Teloschistales Introduction (1997), Harada (2004) or McCarthy (1991), A number of lichenological papers, dealing and Xanthoria in Lindblom & Ekman with taxonomy or biodiversity, have included (2005).

These compounds are frequently deposited as crystals outside the fungal hyphae and most of them emit visible fluorescence when excited by UV. We wondered whether the conversion of UV into visible fluorescence might be photosynthetically used by the photobiont, thereby converting UV into useful energy. To address this question, thalli of Xanthoria parietina were used as a model system. In this species the anthraquinone parietin accumulates in the outer upper cortex, conferring the species its characteristic yellow-orange colouration. In ethanol, parietin absorbed strongly in the blue and UV-B and emitted fluorescence in the range 480–540 nm, which partially matches with the absorption spectra of photosynthetic pigments. In intact thalli, it was determined by confocal microscopy that fluorescence emission spectra shifted 90 nm towards longer wavelengths.

Farimagsgade 2D, DK-1353 Copenhagen K, Denmark. 2 Department of Biology, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708-0338, USA. E-mail : [email protected] Received 5 December 2001; accepted 5 August 2003. A molecular phylogenetic analysis of rDNA was performed for seven Caloplaca, seven Xanthoria, one Fulgensia and five outgroup species. Phylogenetic hypotheses are constructed based on nuclear small and large subunit rDNA, separately and in combination. Three strongly supported major monophyletic groups were revealed within the Teloschistaceae. One group represents the Xanthoria fallax-group. The second group includes three subgroups: (1) X. parietina and X. elegans; (2) basal placodioid Caloplaca species followed by speciations leading to X. polycarpa and X. candelaria; and (3) a mixture of placodioid and endolithic Caloplaca species. The third main monophyletic group represents a heterogeneous assemblage of Caloplaca and Fulgensia species with a drastically different metabolite content. We report here that the two genera Caloplaca and Xanthoria, as well as the subgenus Gasparrinia, are all polyphyletic. The taxonomic significance of thallus morphology in Teloschistaceae and the current delimitation of the genus Xanthoria is discussed in light of these results. INTRODUCTION Taxonomy of Teloschistaceae and its genera The Teloschistaceae is a well-delimited family of Hawksworth & Eriksson (1986) assigned the Teloschis- lichenized fungi.

Nelson4 RESUMEN Los denominados oasis de neblina son áreas en las zonas costeras del Desierto de Ataca- ma donde el ingreso habitual de niebla permite el establecimiento y desarrollo de diver- sas poblaciones de plantas vasculares, generando verdaderos hotspots de diversidad. En estas áreas, la biota liquenológica ha sido poco explorada y representa uno de los ele- mentos perennes más importantes que conforman la comunidad. En un estudio previo de la biota del oasis de neblina de Alto Patache se reportaron siete especies. Con el fin de mejorar este conocimiento, se analizó la riqueza de especies presentes en el oasis si- guiendo dos transectos altitudinales en diferentes orientaciones del farellón. Aquí repor- tamos preliminarmente 77 especies de líquenes para el oasis de neblina de Alto Patache. De estas, 61 especies corresponden a nuevos registros para la región de Tarapacá, en tanto que las especies Amandinea eff lorescens, Diploicia canescens, Myriospora smarag- dula y Rhizocarpon simillimum corresponden a nuevos registros para el país. Asimismo, se destaca a Alto Patache como la única localidad conocida para Santessonia cervicornis, una especie endémica y en Peligro Crítico. Palabras clave: Oasis de neblina, Desierto de Atacama, líquenes. ABSTRACT Fog oases are zones along the Atacama Desert where the regular input of fog favors the development of rich communities of vascular plants, becoming biodiversity hotspots. In these areas, the lichen biota has been poorly explored and represents one of the most conspicuous elements among the perennials organisms that form the community.

  • The Lichens of Orchid Glade, Boulge, Suffolk
    The Lichens of Orchid Glade, Boulge, Suffolk. GR 62(T M)/252.516 Date May 31st 2014 C. J. B. Hitch The site, approximately ten acres, on heavy, originally, arable land and now with the surface compacted, uneven and liable to flooding, runs north south as an approximate rectangle. The outer edge consists of dense woodland, of basically small boled trees, which is dark and devoid of lichens, but which acts as a good shelterbelt and therefore farm sprays and fertilizers are excluded, as evidenced by the lack of much Xanthorion elements at the site. Inside this shelterbelt is a perimeter barbed wire fence with gates at strategic intervals, though the shelterbelt is part of the reserve. Inside the fence, a ride approximately 15 to 20ft wide exists, except at the extreme southern boundary, which is still wooded and easily floods, during periods of heavy rain. The centre of the reserve, is covered with trees of various ages except for a smallish open area near the centre, where the orchids are situated, though even here a few free standing trees, willow, ash, field maple and three apples are scattered about. Also present is a small water filled hole, surrounded by 1 inch square wooden stakes, colonised with lichens. Species List for the site. During the visit to the site, 28 lichens with 1 unidentified, 2 fungi, recorded by lichenologists, as they were once thought to be lichenised and 2 lichenicolous fungi (fungi that live on or in lichens), were seen. The ranking given for each species below, reflects its presence on site and not its abundance in Suffolk as a whole.

Lichenes merupakan asosiasi antara jamur dan alga. Lichenes tumbuh di bebatuan, di kulit pohon, di tanah dan di daun sebagai habitatnya. Penelitian Lichenes sudah sering dilakukan namun lokasi yang diteliti berbeda dari peneliti sebelumnya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui: (1) Jenis-jenis Lichenes, (2) Indeks keanekaragaman Lichenes, (3) Manfaat hasil penelitian keanekaragaman Lichenes dan (4) Respon mahasiswa terhadap output hasil penelitian keanekaragaman Lichenes. Penelitian ini dilakukan di kawasan geothermal Kecamatan Wih Pesam Kabupaten Bener Meriah. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Line transek dan Petak kuadrat dengan teknik pengambilan sampel secara purposive sampling. Analisis data dilakukan secara kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Dari hasil penelitian ditemukan sebanyak 3799 individu dari 23 jenis yang termasuk ke dalam 12 famili. Keanekaragaman Lichenes di lokasi penelitian tergolong tinggi, dengan indeks keanekaragaman H’= 3.0045 menurut kriteria Shannon-Wiener. Pemanfaatan hasil penelitian dibuat dalam bentuk buku ajar dan poster sebagai referensi mata kuliah Mikologi. Respon mahasiswa terhadap output hasil penelitian tergolong dalam kategori sangat tinggi dengan nilai persentase 84,70%. Kata Kunci: Keanekaragaman, Lichenes, Referensi, Kawasan Geothermal Kecamatan Wih Pesam v KATA PENGANTAR Assalamua’laikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh Segala puji dan syukur penulis panjatkan ke hadirat Allah swt, yang telah memberikan rahmat dan hidayah-Nya, sehingga penulis dapat menyelesaikan skripsi ini dengan baik.
