Occurrence patterns of dead wood and wood-dependent lichens in managed boreal forest landscapes [PDF]

, 2013
Dead wood is a key resource for biodiversity, on which thousands of forest organisms are dependent. Because of current forest management, there has been a large-scale change in dead wood amounts and qualities, and consequently, many wood-dependent ...

Association of spiders and lichen on Robben Island, South Africa: a case report

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2010
The present study is a firstrecord of spider occurrence on Robben Island, South Africa. Some habitats were rich in lichens. As we know, lichens enhance wildlife habitat in less direct ways.

Air pollution affects lichen species richness, species density, relative growth form abundance and their secondary metabolite production: a case study in Kandy district, Sri Lanka

Ruhuna Journal of Science, 2021
Lichens are symbiotic associations between fungi and algae and/or cyanobacteria, consisting of three forms, viz: fruticose, foliose and crustose. Air pollution affects lichen diversity, percent cover, and density.

An unusual growth form of Cladonia furcata: The trampling-resistant primary thallus colonizing a paved pathway [PDF]

, 1998
Lichens are well known to be susceptible to damage by trampling. Fruticose species, with their highly branched structure, are particularly sensitive and Bayfield et al. (1981) described substantial damage to Cladonia uncialis, C.

Resolving the phylogeny of Diorygma aeolum, along with its photobiont Trentepohlia species from the Western Ghats, India

Studies in Fungi
This study unravels the symbionts of the lichenized fungus Diorygma aeolum with its Trentepohlia photobiont from the Western Ghats (India). Phylogenetic positioning of the mycobiont and photobiont was assessed by integrating morphology, thallus chemistry,
