Although this figure may appear impressive, lichens are among the most poorly documented elements of the province’s macroscopic flora. Judging from the rate at which new species are being added to the lichen flora, it seems likely that hundreds of addi- tional lichens await discovery in this province. Moreover, our understanding of the frequency status of the vast majority of species remains dolefully incomplete. To date, comprehensive lichen studies have been conducted in only two regions of the province: the Queen Char- lotte Islands and southeast Vancouver Island. The macrolichen flora of Wells Gray Park is also reasonably well docu- mented. Most of the remainder of the province has received scant attention. Important collections have been made in the regions indicated in Figure 1, but most of these studies are unpublished and the specimens are now scattered in various herbaria. A major impediment to the study of lichens in British Columbia is the lack of comprehensive keys to the species. This manual helps to correct this situation by providing illustrated keys to all “leaf” and “scale” (foliose and squamulose) lichens known

    Gardens’A Conspectus Bulletin of the Lichens Singapore (Lichenized 61 (2):Fungi) 437-481. of Singapore 2010 437 A Conspectus of the Lichens (Lichenized Fungi) of Singapore H.J.M. SIPMAN Free University of Berlin Botanical Garden and Museum Königin-Luise-Str. 6-8 D-14195 Berlin, Germany Abstract A total of 296 species of lichenized fungi are reported from Singapore and presented in an annotated list with local distributional information. It is based on herbarium and literature study and the fieldwork done in the year 2000. Unidentified samples suggest the figure to be an underestimation, while some of the listed species may have become extinct. Lists of synonyms and collectors are added. Introduction Tropical conurbations, the world’s most fast-growing habitat, have turned out to harbour significant numbers of lichenized fungi.A ptroot and Seaward (1999) and Aptroot and Sipman (2001) report no less than 308 species for the city of Hongkong. Singapore seems particularly suitable for a study of lichens in an urbanized tropical area because it has received regular attention from botanists during its development from primary lowland forest with small settlements ca 1800 to extensive plantations a century later and to the present urbanized area with large built-up high rise areas interspersed by parks and secondary forest. During 1800-1964 scattered lichen collections were made by visiting and resident general botanists, e.g., E. Almquist, O. Beccari, T.R. Chipp, Kiah, A.M. Lemaitre, A.C. Maingay, H. Möller. Their collections have been investigated and published by, e.g., Krempelhuber (1875, 1877), Nylander and Crombie (1884) and Müller Argoviensis (1893).

  • 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.

ABSTRACT. Lichens in the Arctic play important ecological roles. They also face the threats of increasing fire and shrub and tree expansion, exacerbated or caused by climate change. These forces may lead to changes not only in lichen community composition but also in the abundance, diversity and distribution of lichen functional traits. We sought to connect landscape-scale patterns of lichen community composition and traits to environmental gradients to both monitor lichen communities and clarify community-trait- environment relationships. We measured lichens throughout one of the largest and most remote U.S. National Parks within the Arctic. We then analyzed lichen community composition and species richness within ecologically informative lichen trait groups along environmental and vascular vegetation gradients. Macrolichen species richness in 0.4 ha plots averaged 41 species with a total landscape level observed gamma diversity of 262 macrolichen species.

  • GUNNAR DEGELIUS 27 January 1903-22 July 1993
    Lichenologist 26(2): 205-207 (1994) OBITUARY GUNNAR DEGELIUS 27 January 1903-22 July 1993 f f With the death of Prof. Gunnar Degelius, who passed away on 22 July 1993, the British Lichen Society has lost one of its most respected Honorary Members, and world lichenology its Grand Old Man. Degelius was born in Uppsala on 27 January 1903, but spent most of his childhood in Mariestad, a small city on Lake Vanern. His father, Bror Nilsson, was a pharmacist and amateur botanist, who very early on introduced his son to botany. Gunnar Nilsson (he changed his name to Degelius in 1932) already had a quite comprehensive collection of phanerogams by the age of six (now in GB), and at 12 he collected his first lichen, Peltigera canina, a specimen still in his herbarium. The family then moved to Goteborg where he met an amateur lichenologist, Captain Carl Stenholm (1862-1939) and also the famous Adolf Hugo Magnusson (1885-1964) both of whom inspired his lichenological 0024-2829/94/020205 + 03 808.00/0 © 1994 The British Lichen Society Downloaded from https://www.cambridge.org/core.

After his matriculation at Goteborg in 1923, Degelius began his academic studies in Uppsala. He soon found himself attracted to the circles around the radiant Prof. Rutger Sernander (1866-1944) at the Vaxtbiologiska Institutionen, and it was here in 1935 that he was awarded his doctorate for Das ozeanische Element der Strauch-und Laubflechtenflora von Skandinavien.
