Impact of Phytophthora agathidicida infection on canopy and forest floor plant nutrient concentrations and fluxes in a kauri-dominated forest. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 First study on nutrient fluxes in a Phytophthora agathidicida‐infected forest. Canopy and forest floor nutrient fluxes decreased with increasing P. agathidicida infection. Decline in plant nutrient supply may increase susceptibility to future pathogen infection.

Unravelling the diversity of the lichen genus Porina (Porinaceae) in Mauritius [PDF]
Plant Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Background and aims – Despite the publication of a recent checklist for Mauritius, a small archipelago in the south-western Indian Ocean, our knowledge of the lichen flora of this region remains incomplete.

Lichen ecophysiology in a changing climate
American Journal of Botany, Volume 110, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Lichens are one of the most iconic and ubiquitous symbioses known, widely valued as indicators of environmental quality and, more recently, climate change. Our understanding of lichen responses to climate has greatly expanded in recent decades, but some biases and constraints have shaped our present knowledge. In this review we focus on lichen

Most lichens are rare, and degree of rarity is mediated by lichen traits and biotic partners
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 9, Page 1810-1819, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim Understanding ecological distributions of global biodiversity is stymied by incomplete knowledge of drivers of species rarity. These include trade‐offs among life‐history traits that impact dispersability, competition, reproductive output and speciation and extinction.

Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2022., 2022 Abstract We propose that a qualitative trait approach based on more detailed nuanced traits may reveal previously overlooked patterns, especially when combined with phylogenetic perspectives. By sampling epiphytic lichens and using a functional approach based on nuanced qualitative traits, such as a much greater resolution over photobiont identity ...

Chemical properties of key metabolites determine the global distribution of lichens
Ecology Letters, Volume 25, Issue 2, Page 416-426, February 2022., 2022 In lichen symbioses, secondary metabolites produced by the lichen fungi (mycobionts) provide UV protection on which trebouxioid green algae as the most prominent photobionts sensitively depend. These metabolites differ in their UV absorbance capability and solvability and therefore vary in their propensity of being leached from the lichen body by high ...

Ecological Research, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 313-328, March 2021., 2021 In this study, we examine whether the principle of “diversity begets diversity” applies for phorophyte‐epiphyte relationships in tropical forests, using foliicolous lichen communities as an example of a specialized epiphyte guild. Foliicolous lichens exhibited subtle phorophyte preferences, with community composition more diverging on phorophytes with ...

Foliicolous Lichens of the Fiji Islands
Acta Botanica Hungarica, 2023 Eighteen species of foliicolous lichens have been mentioned earlier from the Fiji Islands in various literature sources and based on collections since 1860. Current records originate from the collections of Göran Thor from 1985 and Sarolta and Tamás Pócs from 2003. G. Thor visited lowland rainforests of Island Viti Levu, S. and T.

Foliicolous Lichens From Zimbabwe [PDF]
The Lichenologist, 1983 AbstractTwenty-nine species of foliicolous lichens are reported from Zimbabwe. Arthonia nigratula (Müll. Arg.) R. Sant. is mentioned for the first time in Africa, and Catillaria vandenberghenii sp. nov. is described.

A new species of Mazosia (lichenised Ascomycetes : Roccellaceae ) from Tasmania
Plant and Fungal Systematics, 2020 Two species of Mazosia occur in Tasmania: the foliicolous, pantropical M. phyllosema and M. corticola , here described as new to science. The new species is characterised by a corticolous thallus containing psoromic acid and three-septate ascospores,
