Fourteen degrees of latitude and a continent apart: comparison of lichen activity over two years at continental and maritime Antarctic sites [PDF]
, 2010 There are marked declines in precipitation, mean temperatures and the number of lichen species with increasing latitude in Antarctica. However, it is not known which factors are the predominant controllers of biodiversity changes.

Environment and host identity structure communities of green algal symbionts in lichens.
New Phytologist, 2018 An understanding of how biotic interactions shape species' distributions is central to predicting host-symbiont responses under climate change. Switches to locally adapted algae have been proposed to be an adaptive strategy of lichen-forming fungi to ...

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 ...

High potential for weathering and climate effects of non-vascular vegetation in the Late Ordovician [PDF]
, 2016 It has been hypothesized that predecessors of today’s bryophytes significantly increased global chemical weathering in the Late Ordovician, thus reducing atmospheric CO2 concentration and contributing to climate cooling and an interval of glaciations ...

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 ...

The lichen flora of the Malbork Castle (N. Polami)
Acta Mycologica, 2014 In the present study 32 species of lichens were found. The most numerous were crustose lichens. which are typical of rocks. The follwing species which are known to occur rarely in Poland were identified: Acarospora cf.

Effects of Growth Media on the Diversity of Culturable Fungi from Lichens
Molecules, 2017 Microscopic and molecular studies suggest that lichen symbioses contain a plethora of associated fungi. These are potential producers of novel bioactive compounds, but strains isolated on standard media usually represent only a minor subset of these ...
