Passive water control at the surface of a superhydrophobic lichen [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.
