The current revised list of macrolichens in Ohio contains 208 species, including twenty-eight species new to Ohio during the past 20 years. Nomenclature for Ohio's known species has been revised to reflect the most recent changes. Relative abundance is given for the species listed. OHIO J.

  • Lichens of Tuckernuck Island Voucher List
    The Nantucket Biodiversity Initiative A Checklist of the Lichens on Nantucket Island. Town of Nantucket, Nantucket County, MA, USA May 2008 Elizabeth Kneiper. 35 Woodchester Dr., Weston, MA 02493 Email: [email protected] Abstract: Collections made at 14 sites on Nantucket Island during the 2006 and 2007 NBI Weeks have added 53 species in 33 genera to the 2004 lichen list of 89 species in 37 genera. In all 21 genera have been added to the historical list for the island, increasing the number of genera to 61 and the species list to 148 species. Five species, Bacidia helicospora, Pyrrhospora quernea, Physcia pumilior, Cladonia abbreviatula and Usnea cornuta appear to be new records for Massachusetts. Ramalina willeyi is well established on the island as are other Ramalinas thought to be uncommon in the region, such as Usnea mutabilis, Ramalina americana and Ramalina farinacea. Skyttea radiatilis and Mycoglaena sp. (saprophytic fungi related to lichens and lichenicolous fungi) and Naetrocymbe punctiforms, a lichenicolous fungus, are reported for the island. This lichen inventory work is a continuation of the work started during the 2004 NBI Week. Different lichen assemblages develop in different plant communities and on different substrates. The aim of this work was to survey habitats not examined in 2004 to document the lichen diversity in diverse sites and to attempt to document lichen species recorded for Nantucket Island in The Vascular and Non-Vascular Flora of Nantucket, Tuckernuck and Muskeget Islands by Sorries and Dunwiddie in 1996. Scope of the Inventory and Methods The localities of the sites surveyed in 2006-2007 are listed below.

MycoKeys 48: 55–65. https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.48.33001 Abstract Biatora alnetorum S. Ekman & Tønsberg, a lichenised ascomycete in the family Ramalinaceae (Lecano- rales, Lecanoromycetes), is described as new to science. It is distinct from other species of Biatora in the combination of mainly three-septate ascospores, a crustose thallus forming distinctly delimited soralia that develop by disintegration of convex pustules and the production of atranorin in the thallus and apothecia. The species is known from the Pacific Northwest of North America, where it inhabits the smooth bark of Alnus alnobetula subsp. sinuata and A. rubra. Biatora alnetorum is also a new host for the lichenicolous ascomycete Sclerococcum toensbergii Diederich. Keywords Biatora flavopunctata, Biatora pallens, Lecania, BAli-Phy Introduction During field work in the Pacific Northwest of the United States and Canada in 1995– 2018, the second author came across a distinct crustose and sorediate lichen on the smooth bark of alders.

  • Habitat Quality and Disturbance Drive Lichen Species Richness in a Temperate Biodiversity Hotspot
    Oecologia (2019) 190:445–457 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00442-019-04413-0 COMMUNITY ECOLOGY – ORIGINAL RESEARCH Habitat quality and disturbance drive lichen species richness in a temperate biodiversity hotspot Erin A. Tripp1,2 · James C. Lendemer3 · Christy M. McCain1,2 Received: 23 April 2018 / Accepted: 30 April 2019 / Published online: 15 May 2019 © Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract The impacts of disturbance on biodiversity and distributions have been studied in many systems. Yet, comparatively less is known about how lichens–obligate symbiotic organisms–respond to disturbance. Successful establishment and development of lichens require a minimum of two compatible yet usually unrelated species to be present in an environment, suggesting disturbance might be particularly detrimental. To address this gap, we focused on lichens, which are obligate symbiotic organ- isms that function as hubs of trophic interactions. Our investigation was conducted in the southern Appalachian Mountains, USA. We conducted complete biodiversity inventories of lichens (all growth forms, reproductive modes, substrates) across 47, 1-ha plots to test classic models of responses to disturbance (e.g., linear, unimodal). Disturbance was quantifed in each plot using a standardized suite of habitat quality variables. We additionally quantifed woody plant diversity, forest density, rock density, as well as environmental factors (elevation, temperature, precipitation, net primary productivity, slope, aspect) and analyzed their impacts on lichen biodiversity. Our analyses recovered a strong, positive, linear relationship between lichen biodiversity and habitat quality: lower levels of disturbance correlate to higher species diversity. With few exceptions, additional variables failed to signifcantly explain variation in diversity among plots for the 509 total lichen species, but we caution that total variation in some of these variables was limited in our study area.

Brief biographical notes on Isaac Carroll (1828-1880) are presented. The name Pyrenocollema bryospilum (Nyl.) Coppins is validated. Verrucaria beloniella Nyl. is lectotypified and synonymised with Lecidella stigmatea (Ach.) Hertel & Leuckert. Stigmidium congestum and Lecidea hypopta are added to the floras of Norway and Ireland respectively. Key Words – Herbarium, Lichens, Isaac Carroll. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES ON ISAAC CARROLL Isaac Carroll, a nineteenth century Irish botanist, was primarily a lichenologist. His contribution to botany has been written up by several researchers in recent decades (Cullinane 1973, Seaward et al. 1982, Parnell 1992, Mitchell 1996). Isaac Carroll was the only son of James Carroll1 and wife Susannah, née Abbott2. Born in Cork City on 28 April 1828, he died in Aghada, Co. Cork on 7 September 1880, aged 52. He was a Quaker and is interred at the Society of Friends' Burial Ground, Summerhill South, Cork (Mitchell, 1995, 1996). He corresponded with botanists from 19 Summer Hill, on the North side of Cork City, in 1858-60, 1862, 1864, 1867-8 and 1870 (Seaward et al., 1982; Mitchell, 1996) and from 79 South Mall in 1858 and 18723. The portrait of Isaac Carroll which now hangs in the herbarium in Glasnevin, was painted by Dublin born artist, Josephine Webb, R.H.A.

  • Lichens and Allied Fungi of the Indiana Forest Alliance
    2017. Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science 126(2):129–152 LICHENS AND ALLIED FUNGI OF THE INDIANA FOREST ALLIANCE ECOBLITZ AREA, BROWN AND MONROE COUNTIES, INDIANA INCORPORATED INTO A REVISED CHECKLIST FOR THE STATE OF INDIANA James C. Lendemer: Institute of Systematic Botany, The New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, NY 10458-5126 USA ABSTRACT. Based upon voucher collections, 108 lichen species are reported from the Indiana Forest Alliance Ecoblitz area, a 900 acre unit in Morgan-Monroe and Yellowwood State Forests, Brown and Monroe Counties, Indiana. The lichen biota of the study area was characterized as: i) dominated by species with green coccoid photobionts (80% of taxa); ii) comprised of 49% species that reproduce primarily with lichenized diaspores vs. 44% that reproduce primarily through sexual ascospores; iii) comprised of 65% crustose taxa, 29% foliose taxa, and 6% fruticose taxa; iv) one wherein many species are rare (e.g., 55% of species were collected fewer than three times) and fruticose lichens other than Cladonia were entirely absent; and v) one wherein cyanolichens were poorly represented, comprising only three species. Taxonomic diversity ranged from 21 to 56 species per site, with the lowest diversity sites concentrated in riparian corridors and the highest diversity sites on ridges. Low Gap Nature Preserve, located within the study area, was found to have comparable species richness to areas outside the nature preserve, although many species rare in the study area were found only outside preserve boundaries. Sets of rare species are delimited and discussed, as are observations as to the overall low abundance of lichens on corticolous substrates and the presence of many unhealthy foliose lichens on mature tree boles.
