  • Lichen Functional Trait Variation Along an East-West Climatic Gradient in Oregon and Among Habitats in Katmai National Park, Alaska
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Kaleigh Spickerman for the degree of Master of Science in Botany and Plant Pathology presented on June 11, 2015 Title: Lichen Functional Trait Variation Along an East-West Climatic Gradient in Oregon and Among Habitats in Katmai National Park, Alaska Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ Bruce McCune Functional traits of vascular plants have been an important component of ecological studies for a number of years; however, in more recent times vascular plant ecologists have begun to formalize a set of key traits and universal system of trait measurement. Many recent studies hypothesize global generality of trait patterns, which would allow for comparison among ecosystems and biomes and provide a foundation for general rules and theories, the so-called “Holy Grail” of ecology. However, the majority of these studies focus on functional trait patterns of vascular plants, with a minority examining the patterns of cryptograms such as lichens. Lichens are an important component of many ecosystems due to their contributions to biodiversity and their key ecosystem services, such as contributions to mineral and hydrological cycles and ecosystem food webs. Lichens are also of special interest because of their reliance on atmospheric deposition for nutrients and water, which makes them particularly sensitive to air pollution. Therefore, they are often used as bioindicators of air pollution, climate change, and general ecosystem health. This thesis examines the functional trait patterns of lichens in two contrasting regions with fundamentally different kinds of data. To better understand the patterns of lichen functional traits, we examined reproductive, morphological, and chemical trait variation along precipitation and temperature gradients in Oregon.

Bot. Fennici 51: 345–371. Ninety-seven ingroup specimens of Bryoria section Implexae (Parmeliaceae, Leca- noromycetes) were studied using molecular, chemical, morphological and geographic characters. The molecular data included nuclear ribosomal markers (ITS, IGS) and the partial glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) gene. In addition to par- simony analyses, a haplotype network was constructed. Phylogenetic analyses strongly supported the monophyly of the section Implexae. The specimens were grouped into two monophyletic clades. Clade 1 encompassed all esorediate material from North America, whereas Clade 2 included both sorediate North American material and all European material.

In previous work, we found that this lichenized fungus was flexible in its phycobiont choice in the Canary Islands. Here we test whether geography and habitat influence phycobiont diversity in populations of this lichen from the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands using Sanger and high throughput sequencing (HTS). Additionally, three thallus section categories (central, middle and periphery) were analyzed to explore diversity of microalgal communities in each part. We found that B. zoharyi populations hosted at least three different Trebouxia spp., and this lichen can associate with distinct phycobiont strains in different Citation: Moya, P.; Chiva, S.; Molins, habitats and geographic regions. This study also revealed that the Trebouxia composition of this A.; Garrido-Benavent, I.; Barreno, E. lichen showed significant differences when comparing the Iberian Peninsula with the Balearics thalli.

  • The Mismatch Between Phenotypes and Genotypes in Lichenized Fungi (Bryoria Sect

Hawksworth6 Key words Abstract In many lichen-forming fungi, molecular phylogenetic analyses lead to the discovery of cryptic species within traditional morphospecies. However, in some cases, molecular sequence data also questions the separation chemotypes of phenotypically characterised species. Here we apply an integrative taxonomy approach ‒ including morphologi- cryptic species cal, chemical, molecular, and distributional characters ‒ to re-assess species boundaries in a traditionally speciose haplotypes group of hair lichens, Bryoria sect. Implexae. We sampled multilocus sequence and microsatellite data from 142 incomplete lineage sorting specimens from a broad intercontinental distribution. Molecular data included DNA sequences of the standard fungal integrative taxonomy markers ITS, IGS, GAPDH, two newly tested loci (FRBi15 and FRBi16), and SSR frequencies from 18 microsatellite microsatellites markers. Datasets were analysed with Bayesian and maximum likelihood phylogenetic reconstruction, phenogram speciation reconstruction, STRUCTURE Bayesian clustering, principal coordinate analysis, haplotype network, and several dif- species concepts ferent species delimitation analyses (ABGD, PTP, GMYC, and DISSECT). Additionally, past population demography and divergence times are estimated. The different approaches to species recognition do not support the monophyly of the 11 currently accepted morphospecies, and rather suggest the reduction of these to four phylogenetic species.

Homo sapiens isn’t the only species to come in all shapes and sizes. So does Monk’s Hood Lichen (fungal partner: Hypogymnia physodes). Lichens “learn” from their environment. The blackened thallus (top left) has learned what to do in case of too much light, while the rather pallid thallus below it what to do in response to too little light: thin its cortex. The top middle thallus is hunkered down for yet another bout of not enough nutrients in support of too much potential for growth, whereas the thallus below knows nothing of such things. Notice how the two thalli at right bear fungal reproductive structures: the top one peppered with pycnidia, the bottom one supporting a curious apothecial “fairy ring”1. There was a time when lichenologists paid real attention to such things. Maybe someday they’ll do so again. Photo montage by Tim Wheeler. ____________ 1The concentric “fairy ring” arrangement of the apothecia points to a brief coming into phase of physiologic “stress” that, rather than triggering soredia production, as is usual for this species, triggered apothecial production instead (for more on phenomena of this kind, see Essay VI). This thallus and the pycnidiate one above it were collected in central Canada (the others came from a small area in intermontane British Columbia); they could represent a separate species characterized, e.g., by the frequent presence of sexual and asexual fungal fruiting structures; but then again maybe not.

Mycosphere 6(2), 159–164, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/6/2/6 Abstract Based on inferences from morphological, chemical and phylogenetic analysis using ITS sequences, a new species of Alectoria is described from the Hengduan Mountains in southwestern China, A. spinosa Li S. Wang & Xin Y. Wang sp. nov, it has dull yellowish fruticose thallus with abundant pseudocyphellae, which is the main character of Alectoria, and differs from all the other Alectoria species by having isidia-like spinules on the soralia. Two species of Alectoria are confirmed in China, their morphological and chemical traits, together with their geographical distributions in China, are discussed, and a key to the species is provided. Key words – Lichenized fungi – Parmeliaceae – phylogeny – taxonomy Introduction Alectoria Ach. (Parmeliaceae, Lecanorales; Tehler & Wedin 2008), typified
