  • 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. Key words: DNA sequences, Endococcus, Lecanora masafuerensis, lichen, southern South America, southern subpolar region (Accepted 18 March 2021) Introduction Materials and Methods Species of Megasporaceae Lumbsch et al. are surprisingly scarce Morphological methods in the Southern Hemisphere.

Most of the fungi sequenced were intertidal mangrove taxa and belong to members of 12 families in the Pleosporales: Aigialaceae, Didymellaceae, Leptosphaeriaceae, Lenthitheciaceae, Lophiostomataceae, Massarinaceae, Montagnulaceae, Morosphaeriaceae, Phaeosphaeriaceae, Pleosporaceae, Testudinaceae and Trematosphaeriaceae.

  • 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.

    DRAFT 25/10/90; plant list updated Oct. 1992; notes added June 2021. PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE CONSERVATION VALUES OF OPEN COUNTRY PADDOCK, BOOLARDY STATION Allan H. Burbidge and J.K. Rolfe INTRODUCTION Boolardy Station is situated about 150 km north of Yalgoo and 140 km west-north-west of Cue, in the Shire of Murchison, Western Australia. Open Country Paddock (about 16 000 ha) is in the south-east corner of the station, at 27o05'S, 116o50'E. The most prominent named feature is Coolamooka Hill, near the eastern boundary of the paddock. There are no conservation reserves in this region, although there are some small reserves set aside for various other purposes. Previous biological data for the station consist of broad scale vegetation mapping and land system mapping. Beard (1976) mapped the entire Murchison region at 1: 1 000 000. The Open Country Paddock area was mapped as supporting mulga woodlands and shrublands. More detailed mapping of land system units for rangeland assessment purposes has been carried out more recently at a scale of 1: 40 000 (Payne and Curry in prep.). Seven land systems were identified in open Country Paddock (Fig. 1). Apart from these studies, no detailed biological survey work appears to have been done in the area. Open Country Paddock has been only lightly grazed by domestic stock because of the presence of Kite-leaf Poison (Gastrolobium laytonii) and a lack of fresh water. Because of this and the generally good condition of the paddock and presence of a wide range of plant species, P.J.

Tanaka, [email protected] Abstract: The familial placement of four genera, Mycodidymella, Petrakia, Pseudodidymella, and Xenostigmina, was taxonomically revised based on morphological observations and phylogenetic analyses of nuclear rDNA SSU, LSU, tef1, and rpb2 sequences. ITS sequences were also provided as barcode markers. A total of 130 sequences were newly obtained from 28 isolates which are phylogenetically related to Melanommataceae (Pleosporales, Dothideomycetes) and its relatives. Phylo- genetic analyses and morphological observation of sexual and asexual morphs led to the conclusion that Melanommataceae should be restricted to its type genus Melanomma, which is characterised by ascomata composed of a well-developed, carbonaceous peridium, and an aposphaeria-like coelomycetous asexual morph. Although Mycodidymella, Petrakia, Pseudodidymella, and Xenostigmina are phylogenetically related to Melanommataceae, these genera are characterised by epi- phyllous, lenticular ascomata with well-developed basal stroma in their sexual morphs, and mycopappus-like propagules in their asexual morphs, which are clearly different from those of Melanomma.

A total of 137 relevés were collected and analyzed using specialized software (JUICE 7.0 and PC-ORD Version 4). As a result, forest Ključne besede: jugovzhodna vegetation is classified into 10 associations, 3 subassociations, 4 variants and Bolgarija, Braun-Blanquetova 5 communities They belong to 7 alliances, 5 orders and 3 classes: Carpino-Fagetea metoda, sintaksonomija, gozdovi sylvaticae, Quercetea pubescentis and Alno glutinosae-Populetea albae. The recorded listavcev, raznolikost vegetacije. 18 distinguished vegetation groups show a relatively high diversity of forest plant communities of the study area. Izvleček V raziskavi smo obravnavali raznolikost gozdne vegetacije gorovja Slivenska planina (vzhodna Stara planina) in predstavlja sodobno klasifikacijsko shemo preučenih sintaksonov. Zbrali smo 137 vegetacijskih popisov in jih analizirali s specializiranimi računalniškimi programi (JUICE 7.0 in PC-ORD Version 4). Gozdno vegetacijo smo uvrstili v 10 asociacij, 3 subasociacije, 4 variante in 5 rastlinskih združb. Uvrščamo jih v 8 zvez, 6 redov in 3 razrede: Carpino-Fagetea sylvaticae, Quercetea pubescentis in Alno glutinosae-Populetea albae. Obravnavanih 18 vegetacijskih skupin predstavlja relativno veliko raznolikost gozdnih rastlinskih združb na preučevanem območju. Received: 8. 2. 2019 Revision received: 13.
