Geographic mosaic of symbiont selectivity in a genus of epiphytic cyanolichens [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2012 AbstractIn symbiotic systems, patterns of symbiont diversity and selectivity are crucial for the understanding of fundamental ecological processes such as dispersal and establishment. The lichen genus Nephroma (Peltigerales, Ascomycota) has a nearly cosmopolitan distribution and is thus an attractive model for the study of symbiotic interactions over a

Peltigera lichen thalli produce highly potent ice-nucleating agents [PDF]
BiogeosciencesFrom extracellular freezing to cloud glaciation, the crystallization of water is ubiquitous and shapes life as we know it. Efficient biological ice nucleators (INs) are crucial for organism survival in cold environments and, when aerosolized, serve as a ...

Insight into climate change from the carbon exchange of biocrusts utilizing non-rainfall water
Scientific Reports, 2017 Biocrusts are model ecosystems of global change studies. However, light and non-rainfall water (NRW) were previously few considered. Different biocrust types further aggravated the inconsistence.

Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria Associated with Peltigera Cyanolichens and Cladonia Chlorolichens [PDF]
Molecules, 2018 Lichens have been extensively studied and described; however, recent evidence suggests that members of the bacterial community associated with them could contribute new functions to the symbiotic interaction. In this work, we compare the nitrogen-fixing guild associated with bipartite terricolous lichens with different types of photobiont: Peltigera ...

Uptake and toxicity of manganese in epiphytic cyanolichens
Environmental and Experimental Botany, 2006 Abstract Mn uptake from MnCl 2 solution and chlorophyll fluorescence (as a selected vitality parameter) were studied in the epiphytic lichens Lobaria pulmonaria (tripartite, heteromerous lichen with the green alga Dictyochloropsis as primary photobiont and Nostoc in cephalodia), Nephroma helveticum (bipartite, heteromerous lichen with ...

Microbes and environments, 2015 The lichen genus Peltigera has been mainly revised in the Northern Hemisphere, with most species being recorded in Europe and North America. This study assessed the phylogenetic diversity of the mycobionts and cyanobionts of Peltigera cyanolichens collected in Southern Chile and Antarctica, areas in which lichens are extremely diverse but poorly ...

EcosphereEpiphytic lichens are especially threatened by accelerated climatic change at high elevations. All lichens are sensitive to atmospheric conditions. Treelines constrain epiphyte ability to migrate upward to follow suitable conditions. Thus, acclimation to
