Abstract:
... Thalli of the crustose lichen Ochrolechia parella have marginal ‘growth rings’ enabling rapid estimation of radial growth rates (RaGR) over successive years. I obtained a growth curve, viz. changes in RaGR with thallus size, from rings of two populations of O. parella and in one population, and compared the growth curves obtained from rings and by measuring growth directly. Both methods revealed t ...

Abstract:
... A total of 165 lichen taxa collected from Sisimiut in West Greenland in summer 2017 were reported and categorized toward their climatic preferences. Almost 68% of the 165 lichens are more or less equally distributed in continental and oceanic areas of Greenland. More than 26% of the lichens occur most frequently in oceanic areas and more rarely in continental areas. Almost 5% of the lichens occur ...

Abstract:
... As stand-alone approaches, chromatographic separations of arsenic in lichen using HPLC-ICP-MS or the use of sequential extractions have historically been shown to have low analyte recoveries and poor analyte selectivity respectively. This study modifies the first step of a sequential extraction with a chromatographic separation of five arsenic species using HPLC-ICP-MS, followed by a three-step se ...

Abstract:
... Mosses and lichens are not generally used in green architecture and gardens in Canada, despite being widely used elsewhere in the world. This may be partly due to a lack of products that promote or incorporate them as landscaping elements. We built a low-cost growth cart specifically for mosses and lichens, called the “Moss Machine”, and tested its ability to grow four types of moss over 4.5 month ...

Abstract:
... New collections are reported of the monospecific genus Polypyrenula, an apparently extinct and doubtfully lichenized fungus, typically classified in the Pyrenulaceae. Anatomical studies reveal that it is facultatively lichenized. The structure of its hamathecium suggests affinities with Dothideomycetes rather than Eurotiomycetes. Molecular analysis using nuLSU and mtSSU markers demonstrates for th ...

Abstract:
... In Canada, detailed knowledge of the macrolichen biota in national parks is surprisingly sparse. Forillon National Park (Forillon) in Quebec, Canada, is an example, with no previously published accounts of lichens. To fill this knowledge gap, we conducted a survey of the macrolichens in the park and reviewed past collections to establish a baseline list of species. We report 140 taxa from Forillon ...

Abstract:
... In 2016, a storm blew over an old growth sand post oak tree (Quercus margarettae) at O'Leno State Park in northern Florida. This event provided access to the entire tree without climbing it. Because the tree was suspended by its branches so it was parallel with the ground, we could easily observe and collect lichens at all former canopy heights. We surveyed the wind-blown tree's lichens before the ...

Abstract:
... Algal‐fungal symbionts share water, nutrients, and gases via an architecture unique to lichens. Because lichen activity is controlled by moisture dynamics, understanding water transport is prerequisite to understand their fundamental biology. We propose a model of water distributions within foliose lichens governed by laws of fluid motion. Our model differentiates between water stored in symbionts ...
