    Newsletter Number 90 June 2020 June 2020 BSO Newsletter 90 2 BSO Meetings and Field Trips June 2020 - October 2020 Due to Covid-19, all field trips are postponed until further notice. Talks will be held via zoom while physical meetings are inappropriate. Please check our website closer to the scheduled event times and watch out for email updates. 10th June, 5.20 pm: Sexy Lichens. Speaker: Dr Allison Knight, Research Associate, Department of Botany. The lichen symbiosis is extraordinary, intertwining organisms from two or even 3 distantly related kingdoms. Lichenised fungi are extremophiles, capable of living in environments well beyond the range of vascular plants. Some can even survive days or years exposed to the vacuum, radiation and temperature extremes of outer space! Intriguingly, lichens are very sensitive indicators of air pollution and can also be useful indicators of climate change. On the lighter side, the Sexy Pavement Lichen grows on the asphalt outside the Botany Department, and covers footpaths and roads all over New Zealand. It has been exploited by the unscrupulous, enticed the gullible and recently caused a global media frenzy. To be held via zoom. 8th July, 5:20 pm: Silken harp chords and the green choir. Speaker: James Crofts-Bennett, Department of Botany. The mutualistic relationship between the plant kingdom and the arachnid order Araneae is remarkable both in nature and how often it is over looked. There is extensive literary coverage on spider abundance and diversity in relation to vegetation texture diversity. So extensive is the research that beyond mere ecological significance, the relationship between spiders and plants has been adapted into agricultural practices! This talk will explore the theory, supporting evidence, then finally practical applications of exploiting this relationship.

Credit must go to trip leaders who have arranged a plan B where necessary, good for those still keen to get out tramping. Upcoming trips between January and March consist of eleven day trips and six weekend or long weekend trips. Destinations include the Richmond Range - seven trips, Kahurangi - four trips, Nelson Lakes - three trips, Abel Tasman - one trip, along with two trips in Victoria Forest Park. As a result of increased fuel prices, transport charges on club trips have increased from 11c/km to 12c/km, with unsealed roads double the charge. The last price increase was in 2008. Keep on tramping.
