Siles. Sci. Natur., 63: 111-122, 2014. Abstract: The aim of this article is to present the history and the current state of Bryjarka hill, situated in Szczawnica (the Beskid Sądecki range in southern Poland) in relation to its environmental and cultural values. Another aim of this article is to show that Bryjarka hill plays an important role in the biological, geological and cultural aspects of the region. It represents cultural significance where the traces of human activities date back to medieval times. Key words: nature values, cultural values, andesite, lichens, fungi, mosses, plants, succession, nature protection Introduction Bryjarka is a hill in Szczawnica, in the south-western part of the Beskid Sądecki Mts. (Fig. 1). It is known for its picturesque view and an iron cross placed there at the beginning of 20th century on the top of the hill (Węglarz 2011; Chrzanowska & Chrzanowski 2013). Residents, tourists and spa guests can take a 30-40 minutes walk from Dietl square up to the top of the hill following the yellow trail. In addition to sacred and tourism values of it, there are some very interesting places in respect of nature conservation (thermophilous and rare species of plants) and cultural values (andesite quarry).

    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.

Independent phylogenetic analyses of a multigene dataset (RPB1, mtSSU, nuLSU) and an ITS- dataset combined with morphological and ecological characters confirm that the Verrucaria elaeomelaena agg. consists of several cryptic taxa. It includes V. elaeomelaena s.str. with mostly grey to mid-brown thalli and transparent exciple base which cannot be distinguished morphologically from several other unnamed clades from low elevations, the semi-cryptic V. humida spec. nov., which is characterised by smaller perithecia, shorter and more elongated spores compared to other species in this group and V.

  • An Evolving Phylogenetically Based Taxonomy of Lichens and Allied Fungi
    Opuscula Philolichenum, 11: 4-10. 2012. *pdf available online 3January2012 via (http://sweetgum.nybg.org/philolichenum/) An evolving phylogenetically based taxonomy of lichens and allied fungi 1 BRENDAN P. HODKINSON ABSTRACT. – A taxonomic scheme for lichens and allied fungi that synthesizes scientific knowledge from a variety of sources is presented. The system put forth here is intended both (1) to provide a skeletal outline of the lichens and allied fungi that can be used as a provisional filing and databasing scheme by lichen herbarium/data managers and (2) to announce the online presence of an official taxonomy that will define the scope of the newly formed International Committee for the Nomenclature of Lichens and Allied Fungi (ICNLAF). The online version of the taxonomy presented here will continue to evolve along with our understanding of the organisms. Additionally, the subfamily Fissurinoideae Rivas Plata, Lücking and Lumbsch is elevated to the rank of family as Fissurinaceae. KEYWORDS. – higher-level taxonomy, lichen-forming fungi, lichenized fungi, phylogeny INTRODUCTION Traditionally, lichen herbaria have been arranged alphabetically, a scheme that stands in stark contrast to the phylogenetic scheme used by nearly all vascular plant herbaria. The justification typically given for this practice is that lichen taxonomy is too unstable to establish a reasonable system of classification. However, recent leaps forward in our understanding of the higher-level classification of fungi, driven primarily by the NSF-funded Assembling the Fungal Tree of Life (AFToL) project (Lutzoni et al. 2004), have caused the taxonomy of lichen-forming and allied fungi to increase significantly in stability. This is especially true within the class Lecanoromycetes, the main group of lichen-forming fungi (Miadlikowska et al.

  • The Lichen Genus Physcia (Schreb.) Michx (Physciaceae: Ascomycota) in New Zealand
    Tuhinga 16: 59–91 Copyright © Te Papa Museum of New Zealand (2005) The lichen genus Physcia (Schreb.) Michx (Physciaceae: Ascomycota) in New Zealand D. J. Galloway1 and R. Moberg 2 1 Landcare Research, New Zealand Ltd, Private Bag 1930, Dunedin, New Zealand ([email protected]) 2 Botany Section (Fytoteket), Museum of Evolution, Evolutionary Biology Centre, Uppsala University, Norbyvägen 16, SE-752 36 Uppsala, Sweden ABSTRACT: Fourteen species of the lichen genus Physcia (Schreb.) Michx are recognised in the New Zealand mycobiota, viz: P. adscendens, P. albata, P. atrostriata, P. caesia, P. crispa, P. dubia, P. erumpens, P. integrata, P. jackii, P. nubila, P. poncinsii, P. tribacia, P. trib- acoides, and P. undulata. Descriptions of each taxon are given, together with a key and details of biogeography, chemistry, distribution, and ecology. Physcia tenuisecta Zahlbr., is synonymised with Hyperphyscia adglutinata, and Physcia stellaris auct. is deleted from the New Zealand mycobiota. Physcia atrostriata, P. dubia, P. integrata, and P. nubila are recorded from New Zealand for the first time. A list of excluded taxa is appended. KEYWORDS: lichens, New Zealand lichens, Physcia, atmospheric pollution, biogeography. Introduction genera with c. 860 species presently known (Kirk et al. 2001), and was recently emended to include taxa having: Species of Physcia (Schreb.) Michx, are foliose, lobate, Lecanora-type asci; a hyaline hypothecium; and ascospores loosely to closely appressed lichens, with a whitish, pale with distinct wall thickenings or of Rinodella-type (Helms greenish, green-grey to dark-grey upper surface (not dark- et al. 2003). Physcia is a widespread, cosmopolitan genus ening, or colour only little changed, when moistened).
