BGBM Annual Report 2017–2019
NETWORKING FOR DIVERSITY Annual Report 2017 – 2019 2017 – BGBM BGBM Annual Report 2017 – 2019 Cover image: Research into global biodiversity and its significance for humanity is impossible without networks. The topic of networking can be understood in different ways: in the natural world, with the life processes within an organism – visible in the network of the veins of a leaf or in the genetic diversity in populations of plants – networking takes place by means of pollen, via pollinators or the wind. In the world of research, individual objects, such as a particular plant, are networked with the data obtained from them. Networking is also crucial if this data is to be effective as a knowledge base for solving global issues of the future: collaboration between scientific experts within and across disciplines and with stakeholders at regional, national and international level.

MycoKeys 34: 25–34. https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.34.23836 Abstract Architrypethelium murisporum Luangsuphabool, Lumbsch & Sangvichien is described for a crustose lichen occurring in dry evergreen forest in Thailand. It is characterised by a green to yellow-green corticated thal- lus, perithecia fused in black pseudostromata with white rim surrounding the ostiole and small, hyaline and muriform ascospores. Currently, all species in the genus Architrypethelium have transversely septate ascospores, hence the discovery of this new species indicates that ascospore septation is variable within the genus, similar to numerous other groups of lichen-forming ascomycetes. Phylogenetic analyses of two loci (mtSSU and nuLSU) supported the position of the new species within Architrypethelium. -

Mycosphere 6(3), 290–326, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/6/3/7 Abstract The Dothideomycetes include several genera whose ascomata can be considered as apothecia and thus would be grouped as discomycetes. Most genera are grouped in the family Patellariaceae, but also Agrynnaceae and other families. The Hysteriales include genera having hysterioid ascomata and can be confused with species in Patellariaceae with discoid apothecia if the opening is wide enough. In this study, genera of the family Patellariaceae were re-examined and characterized based on morphological examination. As a result of this study the genera Baggea, Endotryblidium, Holmiella, Hysteropatella, Lecanidiella, Lirellodisca, Murangium, Patellaria, Poetschia, Rhizodiscina, Schrakia, Stratisporella and Tryblidaria are retained in the family Patellariaceae. The genera Banhegyia, Pseudoparodia and Rhytidhysteron are excluded because of differing morphology and/or molecular data. -

A New Species of Aspicilia (Megasporaceae), with a New Lichenicolous Sagediopsis (Adelococcaceae), from the Falkland Islands
The Lichenologist (2021), 53, 307–315 doi:10.1017/S0024282921000244 Standard Paper A new species of Aspicilia (Megasporaceae), with a new lichenicolous Sagediopsis (Adelococcaceae), from the Falkland Islands Alan M. Fryday1 , Timothy B. Wheeler2 and Javier Etayo3 1Department of Plant Biology, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan 48824, USA; 2Division of Biological Sciences, University of Montana, Missoula, Montana 59801, USA and 3Navarro Villoslada 16, 3° dcha., 31003 Pamplona, Navarra, Spain Abstract The new species Aspicilia malvinae is described from the Falkland Islands. It is the first species of Megasporaceae to be discovered on the islands and only the seventh to be reported from South America. It is distinguished from other species of Aspicilia by the unusual secondary metabolite chemistry (hypostictic acid) and molecular sequence data. The collections of the new species support two lichenicolous fungi: Endococcus propinquus s. lat., which is new to the Falkland Islands, and a new species of Sagediopsis with small perithecia and 3-septate ascospores c. 18–20 × 4–5 μm, which is described here as S. epimalvinae. A total of 60 new DNA sequences obtained from species of Megasporaceae (mostly Aspicilia) are also introduced.

Opuscula Philolichenum, 8: 1-7. 2010. A brief lichen foray in the Mount Washington alpine zone – including Claurouxia chalybeioides, Porina norrlinii and Stereocaulon leucophaeopsis new to North America 1 ALAN M. FRYDAY ABSTRACT. – A preliminary investigation of the lichen biota of Mt. Washington (New Hampshire) is presented based on two days spent on the mountain in August 2008. Claurouxia chalybeioides, Porina norrlinii and Stereocaulon leucophaeopsis are reported for the first time from North America and Frutidella caesioatra is reported for the first time from the United States. A full list of the species recorded during the visit is also presented. INTRODUCTION Mt. Washington, at 1918 m, is the highest peak in northeast North America and has the most alpine tundra of any site in the eastern United States. In spite of this, its lichen biota is very poorly documented with the only published accounts to specifically mention Mt. Washington or the White Mountains by name obtained from the Recent Literature on Lichens web-site (Culberson et al. 2009), which includes all lichenological references since 1536, being an early work by Farlow (1884), and the ecological work by Bliss (1963, 1966), which included a few macrolichens. However, the mountain was a favorite destination of Edward Tuckerman and many records can be extracted from his published taxonomic works (e.g., Tuckerman 1845, 1847, 1882, 1888). More recently Richard Harris and William Buck of the New York Botanical Garden, and Clifford Wetmore of the University of Minnesota have collected lichens on the mountain. Their records have not been published, although the report Wetmore produced for the U.S. -

Pleosporomycetidae, Dothideomycetes) from a Freshwater Habitat in Thailand
Mycological Progress (2020) 19:1031–1042 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11557-020-01609-0 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Mycoenterolobium aquadictyosporium sp. nov. (Pleosporomycetidae, Dothideomycetes) from a freshwater habitat in Thailand Mark S. Calabon1,2 & Kevin D. Hyde1,3 & E. B. Gareth Jones4 & Mingkwan Doilom5,6 & Chun-Fang Liao5,6 & Saranyaphat Boonmee1,2 Received: 25 May 2020 /Revised: 25 July 2020 /Accepted: 28 July 2020 # German Mycological Society and Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2020 Abstract A study of freshwater fungi in Thailand led to the discovery of Mycoenterolobium aquadictyosporium sp. nov. Evidence for the novelty and placement in Mycoenterolobium is based on comparison of morphological data. The new species differs from the type species, M. platysporum, in having shorter and wider conidia, and from M. flabelliforme in having much longer and wider conidia. The hyphomycetous genus Mycoenterolobium is similar to Cancellidium but differs in the arrangement of conidial rows of cells at the attachment point to the conidiophores. The conidia of the former are made up of rows of cells, radiating in a linear pattern from a single cell attached to the conidiophore, while in Cancellidium, adherent rows of septate branches radiate from the conidiophore. Cancellidium conidia also contain branched chains of blastic monilioid cells arising from the conidia, while these are lacking in Mycoenterolobium.AtmaturityinMycoenterolobium, the two conidial lobes unite and are closely appressed. Phylogenetic analyses based on a combined LSU, SSU, ITS, TEF1-α,andRPB2 loci sequence data support the placement of Mycoenterolobium aquadictyosporium close to the family Testudinaceae within Pleosporomycetidae, Dothideomycetes. The novel species Mycoenterolobium aquadictyosporium is described and illustrated and is compared with other morphologically similar taxa. -

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. -
