Nash H. T., Thomas M. A., Hoober J. K., Gries C. & Zheng S. (2001): Free amino acids in lichens and their symbionts, Bibl. Lichenol., 78: 313-319

Free amino acids were analyzed in four macrolichens: Evernia prunastri, Pseudevernia intensa, Flavopuncteliapraesignis and Nephroma resupinatum. Overall concentrations measured fell well within the range of values reported in the literature. Little change in pool size of these amino acids was found in response to sulphur dioxide fumigations. Significant variation among species was observed with the highest values found in the cyanolichen A resupinatum. Species to species variation partly reflected … Read more...

Moberg R. (2001): The lichen genus Physcia in Australia, Bibl. lichenol., 78: 289-311

Seventeen species of the lichen genus Physcia (Schreb.) Mich. (Ascomycotina, Physciaceae) are reported from Australia. One species, P. jackii. Moberg, is described as new, and ten others are recorded for the first time from the continent: P. citrostriata, P. bizicina, P. crispa, P. decorticata, P. nubila, P. phaeocarpa, P. poncinsii, P. sorediata, P. undulata and P. verrucosa. Physcia albo- plumbia is synonymized with P. albata. Some morphological and anatomical characters are assessed, and a key … Read more...

McCarthy P. M. (2001): The lichen genus Strigula in Christmas Island, Indian ocean, Bibl. Lichenol., 78: 275-287

Nine species of Strigula Fr. (Melanommatales, Strigulaceae) are reported from rock, bark and leaves in Christmas Island, an Australian territory in the northeastern Indian Ocean. Two new species are described: the calcicolous S. elixii P. M. McCarthy and S. natalis P. M. McCarthy. The new combination S. subprospersella (Vain.) P. M. McCarthy is made for Porina subprospersella Vain. Descriptions and additional notes are provided for S. bermudana (Tuck, ex Nyl.) R. C. Harris and S. viridiseda (Nyl.) … Read more...

Lücking R. & Kalb K. (2001): New Caledonia, foliicolous lichens and island geography, Bibl. Lichenol., 78: 247-273

Based on collections gathered between 1886 and 1994, we present a survey of the foliicolous lichen flora of New Caledonia. A total of 107 species in 37 genera and 18 families are reported, increasing the number of foliicolous taxa known for this territory from 22 to 111, and that of New Caledonian lichens in general to 697. Arthonia novaecaledoniae Lucking & Kalb sp. nov., Badimia elixii Lucking, Kalb & Lumbsch sp. nov., Coenogonium labyrinthicum Lucking & Kalb sp. nov, and Fellhanera mackeei Lucking … Read more...

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...
