Louwhoff S. H. (2001): Biogeography of Hypotrachyna, Parmotrema and allied genera (Parmeliaceae) in the Pacific Islands, Bibl. Lichenol., 78: 223-246

The distribution and biogeographical affinities of species of Hypotrachyna, Parmotrema and their allied genera in the Pacific region are discussed. The continental islands of New Guinea and New Caledonia have strong endemic and Indo-Malayan elements, and an additional Australian influence exists in the Parmotrema flora of these islands reflecting former Gondwanan connections. The oceanic islands of Hawaii, Rarotonga and the Galápagos support mostly pantropical and/or cosmopolitan elements. However, … Read more...

LaGreca S. & Lumbsch T. (2001): The phylogenetic position of the Candelariaceae (Lecanorales) inferred from anatomical and molecular data, Biblotheca Lichenologica, 78: 211-222

The phylogenetic position of the family Candelariaceae is re-evaluated using anatomical and molecular data. The anatomy of the ascomata and their ontogeny were studied and were found to be uniform within the family and in accordance with those observed in the genus Lecanora. rDNA ITS genes were sequenced from two species of the Candelariaceae and analyzed by maximum parsimony together with 11 Lecanora sequences, one Protoparmelia sequence, and two sequences from the Parmeliaceae. A strict consensus … Read more...

Kärnefelt I. & Thell A. (2001): Delimination of the lichen genus Tuckermannopsis Gyeln. (Ascomycotina, Parmeliaceae) based on morphology and DNA sequences, Bibl. Lichenol., 78: 193-209

The lichen genus Tuckermannopsis Gyeln. (Parmeliaceae) is circumscribed. Seven species are included in the genus in the strict sense: T. americana, T. chlorophylla, T. ciliaris, T. gilva, T. microphyllica, T. orbata and T. ulophylloides. ITS rDNA sequences of the bipolar taxon T. chlorophylla do not indicate the geographical origin of the samples. Other sequence data indicate that two species previously included in the genus, T. subalpina and T. platyphylla; belong elsewhere Read more...

Kantvilas G. (2001): The lichen family Fuscideaceae in Tasmania, Bibl. Lichenol., 78: 169-192

The crustose lichen family Fuscideaceae (Teloschistales) is characterized mainly by its distinctive Teloschistes-type asci. The species are defined by the morphology of their apothecia, the nature of their ascospores with respect to shape, size, number per ascus, septation and pigmentation, and by thallus chemistry. In Tasmania, the Fuscideaceae comprises eight taxa: Fuse idea australis Kantvilas sp. nov., also found in south-eastern Australia, F. australis var. montana Kantvilas var. nov., F. ramboldioides … Read more...

Jørgensen P.M. (2001): New species and records of the lichen family Pannariaceae from Australia, Bibl. Lichenol., 78: 109-139

The following new species of Pannariaceae are described from Australia: Pannaria centrifuga, P. dissecta, P. fimbriata, P. mangroviana, Parmeliella furfuracea, P. granulifera, P. palmatula, P. papillata and P. polyphyllina. Three new combinations are made: Pannaria leproloma (Nyl.) P. M. Jørg., P. microphyllizans (Nyl.) P. M. Jørg. and P. subcrustacea (Räsänen) P. M. Jørg. The following species are reported for the first time from Australia: Fuscopannaria granulans P. M. Jørg., F. minor (Darb.) … Read more...

James P.W., Aptroot A., Diederich P., Sipmann H. J. M. & Sérusiaux E. (2001): New species of the lichen genus Menegazzia in New Guinea, Bibl. Lichenol., 78: 91-108

Species of Menegazzia form a significant element of the lichen Hora of the mountains of New Guinea. Several can occur together, and some appear to be widespread on the island. A preliminary taxonomic treatment is presented here. Most taxa produce alranorin and the stictic acid complex. There are several complexes with obvious species pairs or trios, indicating that the majority of the Menegazzia species in New Guinea are closely related and arc the result of recent sympatric speciation. All taxa … Read more...

Henssen A. & Jørgensen P. M. (2001): A new species of Peltularia (Coccocarpiaceae) from Tierra del Fuego and the South Shetland Islands, Bibl. Lichenol., 78: 85-90

Peltularia fuegiana Henssen & P. M. Jørg., sp. nov. (Coccocarpiaccac), is described from Tierra del Fuego, Argentina and the South Shetland Islands. It is the third species in the genus, and differs from the type species in being placodioid to peltate rather than distinctly umbilicate Read more...

Hammer S. (2001): Podetial morphogenesis in Thysanothecium scutellatum (Ascomycotina, Cladoniaceae), Bibl. Lichenol., 78: 75-83

Thysanothecium scutellatum, a common lichen species in Australasia, is characterized by a deflexed, unbranched podetium with an apical, shield-like hymenium. The deflexed habit, the characteristic hymcnial shape, and the subsequent deformation of the podetium are the result of a morphogenetic pathway similar to that found in species of the cosmopolitan genus As in other Cladoniaceae, morphogenesis in Thysanothecium is initiated and controlled by a fungal apical meristem, but various aspects of developmental … Read more...

Giralt M., Navarro-Rosinés (2001): Rinodina striatitunicata (Physciaceae), new to Europe, Bibl. Lichenol., 78: 69-74

Rinodina striatitunicata Matzer & H. Mayrhofer is reported for the first time from Europe (southern Catalonia, Spain). This lichen, previously known only from one locality in South Africa (Western Cape) is characterized by its ascospores, which belong to the Tunicata-type and have a very peculiar striate ornamentation in the outer wall Read more...
