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.

Notes on the amphipacific relations of Hawaiian Cladoniaceae [PDF]
, 1993 The total number of currently accepted species of Cladoniaceae in the Hawaiian Islands is 22. Several taxonomic problems still exist, however. The effects of isolation are clear among Cladoniaceae. Endemism is high (c.

Diversity of Lecidea (Lecideaceae, Ascomycota) species revealed by molecular data and morphological characters [PDF]
, 2002 The diversity of lichens, especially crustose species, in continental Antarctica is still poorly known. To overcome difficulties with the morphology based species delimitations in these groups, we employed molecular data (nuclear ITS and mitochondrial ...

Lichen specific thallus mass and secondary compounds change across a retrogressive fire-driven chronosequence [PDF]
, 2012 In the long-term absence of major disturbances ecosystems enter a state of retrogression, which involves declining soil fertility and consequently a reduction in decomposition rates.

A lichen protected by a super-hydrophobic and breathable structure [PDF]
, 2006 A species of lichen, Lecanora conizaeoides, is shown to be super-hydrophobic. It uses a combination of hydrophobic compounds and multi-layered roughness to shed water effectively.

Fungal Diversity in Lichens: From Extremotolerance to Interactions with Algae
Life, 2018 Lichen symbioses develop long-living thallus structures even in the harshest environments on Earth. These structures are also habitats for many other microscopic organisms, including other fungi, which vary in their specificity and interaction with the ...

Passive water control at the surface of a superhydrophobic lichen [PDF]
, 2011 Some lichens have a super-hydrophobic upper surface, which repels water drops, keeping the surface dry but probably preventing water uptake. Spore ejection requires water and is most efficient just after rainfall.
