E-mail : [email protected] Received 16 September 2003; accepted 17 December 2003. A molecular phylogeny of the Lecanora rupicola group is presented, based on ITS sequence analyses. The study includes saxicolous and corticolous members of the Lecanora rupicola group as well as other Lecanora species with pruinose apothecia. A phylogenetic hypothesis for species in Lecanora s. lat. and various other genera in Lecanoraceae, based on an alignment-free distance estimation technique, shows that the Lecanora rupicola group forms a monophyletic clade within Lecanoraceae. Affinities to the core group of Lecanora are not well supported, likewise the monophyly of Lecanora s. str. with other species groups in Lecanora, such as the lobate taxa (and Rhizoplaca) is not supported. A more detailed analysis involving Lecanora species with pruinose apothecial discs was carried out with model-based Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (B/MCMC) tree sampling. The results suggest the monophyly of the Lecanora species that are characterized by the presence of chromones. Corticolous as well as saxicolous species are included. Lepraria flavescens is closely related to the Lecanora swartzii subgroup, and the new name Lecanora rouxii nom. nov. is introduced for that species. Other Lecanora species with pruinose discs are not closely related to the Lecanora rupicola group. INTRODUCTION and heterogeneous crustose genus.

G. Kholodny Institute of Botany, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, 2 Tereshchenkivska Street, 01601 Kiev, Ukraine, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Caloplaca ulcerosa , known as an epiphytic species growing on the bark of broad-leaved trees, is newly recorded from stems of maritime shrubs and from shaded limestone rock. In Europe, ninety-five percent of 90 considered records are within 50 km from a sea coast, but the species does not show any other geographical tendencies. It is rather regularly distributed throughout Europe, North Africa and the Near East. The distribution pattern of C. ulcerosa is, therefore, considered maritime; it may be the first known example of a maritime distribution of a lichen generally growing on tree trunks. The remarkable occurrence in the Czech Republic with an abnormal ecology is discussed.

  • Some Peltigericolous Microlichens from Southern Poland
    Acta Bot. Croat. 73 (1), 159–170, 2014 CODEN: ABCRA25 ISSN 0365-0588 eISSN 1847-8476 DOI: 10.2478/botcro-2013-0025 Some peltigericolous microlichens from southern Poland PAWEº CZARNOTA*, EMIL HERNIK Department of Agroecology, University of Rzeszów, ]wikli½skiej 2, 35–601 Rzeszów, Poland Abstract – Ten microlichens growing on more or less moribund thalli of several terri- colous Peltigera spp. are reported from Wyóyna Ðlsko-Krakowska upland in southern Poland. The list includes: Absconditella delutula, Agonimia vouauxii, Bacidia pycnidiata (for the first time as a lichenicolous lichen), Bacidina chloroticula, Placynthiella dasea, Scutula sp., Steinia geophana, Thelocarpon epibolum, Vezdaea aestivalis and V. retigera. Notes on the taxonomy, ecology and distribution of each species are briefly provided and Polish samples discussed. Keywords: Ascomycota, ecology, lichenized fungi, lichenicolous lichens, post-industrial region Introduction Lichenicolus fungi growing on representatives of the genus Peltigera were investigated many times (e.g. ALSTRUP and HAWKSWORTH 1990, KÜMMERLING and ALSTRUP 1992, MIDLIKOWSKA and ALSTRUP 1995, HAWKSWORTH and MIDLIKOWSKA 1997, MARTÍNEZ and HAFELLNER 1998, MARTÍNEZ 1999, KOCOURKOVÁ 2000, CZYòEWSKA and KUKWA 2009, CANDAN et al. 2010, PUOLASMAA et al. 2012). The genus Peltigera, with members usually forming large lichen thalli with cyanobacteria (e.g. Nostoc spp.), is widely considered one of these lichen hosts that are inhabited by the highest number of fungal specialists (HAWKS- WORTH and MIDLIKOWSKA 1997). Data on lichenicolous lichens and 'four-biont symbioses' are rare (HAWKSWORTH 1988, CZARNOTA 2009). In Poland lichenicolous lichens are still insufficiently known, but recently some of them have been included within the national list of lichenicolous fungi (CZYòEWSKA and KUKWA 2009).

  • Photobiont Switching Causes Changes in the Reproduction Strategy and Phenotypic Dimorphism in the Arthoniomycetes
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Photobiont switching causes changes in the reproduction strategy and phenotypic Received: 29 December 2017 Accepted: 7 March 2018 dimorphism in the Arthoniomycetes Published: xx xx xxxx Damien Ertz1,2, Beata Guzow-Krzemińska3, Göran Thor4, Anna Łubek5 & Martin Kukwa3 Phylogenetic analyses using mtSSU and nuITS sequences of Buellia violaceofusca (previously placed in Lecanoromycetes), a sterile, sorediate lichen having a trebouxioid photobiont, surprisingly prove that the species is conspecifc with Lecanographa amylacea (Arthoniomycetes), a fertile, esorediate species with a trentepohlioid photobiont. These results suggest that L. amylacea and B. violaceofusca are photomorphs of the same mycobiont species, which, depending on the photobiont type, changes the morphology and the reproduction strategy. This is the frst example of a lichenized fungus that can select between Trebouxia (Trebouxiophyceae) and trentepohlioid (Ulvophyceae) photobionts. Trebouxia photobionts from the sorediate morphotype belong to at least three diferent phylogenetic clades, and the results suggest that Lecanographa amylacea can capture the photobiont of other lichens such as Chrysothrix candelaris to form the sorediate morphotype. Phylogenetic analyses based on rbcL DNA data suggest that the trentepohlioid photobiont of L. amylacea is closely related to Trentepohlia isolated from fruticose lichens. The fexibility in the photobiont choice enables L. amylacea to use a larger range of tree hosts. This strategy helps the lichen to withstand changes of environmental conditions, to widen its distribution range and to increase its population size, which is particularly important for the survival of this rare species. In lichen symbiosis, the mycobiont associates with a chlorophyll-containing partner, either an eukaryotic alga or a cyanobacterium, or both1.

ES-46980 Paterna, València, Spain 3 [email protected] Institut für Pflanzenwissenschaften, Karl-Franzens-Universität Holteigasse 6, A-8010 Graz, Austria Abstract — A study on the taxonomy, morphology and anatomy of lichenicolous species of the genus Cercidospora (Dothideales, incertae sedis) growing on lichen species of the genera Aspicilia, Lobothallia and Megaspora (Megasporaceae) is presented. The following species are proposed as new to science: Cercidospora galligena on Aspicilia caesiocinerea; C. solearispora on Aspicilia intermutans, A. cinerea, A. cupreoglauca, and sterile Aspicilia sp.; and C. werneri on Aspicilia calcarea, A. contorta, and A. desertorum. A neotype is chosen for Microthelia verrucosaria. A key to Cercidospora species on megasporacean hosts is provided. Key words — Ascomycota, lichenicolous fungi, lichenized fungi Introduction This study is the first contribution to an ongoing revision of the genus Cercidospora (Dothideales, incertae sedis). It focuses on species growing on lichens of the genera Aspicilia, Lobothallia and Megaspora (Megasporaceae, Pertusariales; Lumbsch et al. 2004, Lumbsch & Huhndorf 2007). The taxa of these three genera were traditionally included in a wider concept of the genus Aspicilia (cf. Ozenda & Clauzade 1970, Clauzade & Roux 1995, Wirth 1980). The onlyCercidospora species previously known to occur on these genera were C.

The genus Lecidella forming the Lecidella-Glaucomaria subclade within the same Verseghya-Lecidella-Pyrrhospora clade of the Lecanoraceae found to have tendency to be polyphyletic after including the recently described eastern Asian taxon Lecidella mandshu- rica into phylogenetic analysis of the Lecanoraceae. It is shown that Lecidella mandshurica was previously recorded from China sub Lecidella aff. elaeochroma. The originally monotypic eastern Asian genus Sedelnikovaea forming a monophyl- etic branch within the Sedelnikovaea-Lecanoropsis subclade and being in out-position to the Rhizoplaca-Protoparmeliopsis s.
