Differential Effects of Lichens versus Liverworts Epiphylls on Host Leaf Traits in the Tropical Montane Rainforest, Hainan Island, China [PDF]
The Scientific World Journal, 2014 Epiphylls widely colonize vascular leaves in moist tropical forests. Understanding the effects of epiphylls on leaf traits of host plants is critical for understanding ecological function of epiphylls.

Global phylogeny of the family Gomphillaceae (Ascomycota, Graphidales) sheds light on the origin, diversification and endemism in foliicolous lineages [PDF]
IMA FungusFoliicolous lichens grow on living leaves of vascular plants. They are mostly found in tropical to subtropical or temperate rainforests. Many phenotype-based species are considered as pantropical or even sub-cosmopolitan, either attributed to old ages ...

A further locality with foliicolous lichens in Italy, with taxonomical and ecological data on foliicolous lichens in Western Europe [PDF]
Cryptogamie, Mycologie, 2000 Abstract 14 lichen species and 3 lichenicolous fungi growing on them have been found on living leaves, mainly of Buxus , in a deep and sheltered ravine in Campania (Italy), at low elevation, in the Mediterranean region. These figures are similar to those at the richest sites with foliicolous lichens in the Western Pyrenees.

Airborne ascospore discharge with co-dispersal of attached epihymenial algae in some foliicolous lichens. [PDF]
Am J Bot, 2022 Abstract Premise Lichen‐forming fungi that colonize leaf surfaces must find a compatible algal symbiont, establish lichen symbiosis, and reproduce within the limited life span of their substratum. Many produce specialized asexual propagules that appear to be dispersed by rain and runoff currents, but less is known about dispersal of their meiotic ...
