Lichens are widely acknowledged to be a key component of high latitude ecosystems. However, the time investment needed for full inventories and lack taxonomic identification resources crustose lichen lichenicolous fungal diversity have hampered efforts fully gauge depth species richness in these Using combination classical field inventory extensive deployment chemical molecular analysis, we assessed lichens associated fungi Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska (USA), mixed landscape coastal...
Nomenclatural type definitions are one of the most important concepts in biological nomenclature. Being physical objects that can be re-studied by other researchers, types permanently link taxonomy (an artificial agreement to classify diversity) with nomenclature name diversity). Two proposals amend International Code Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN), allowing DNA sequences alone (of any region extent) serve as taxon names voucherless fungi (mainly putative taxa from...
The current study empirically demonstrates the widely discussed gap between copyright law and social norms. Theoretically founded in sociology of law, uses a well-defined concept norms to quantitatively measure changes strength before after implementation legislation. ‘IPRED law’ was implemented Sweden on 1 April 2009, as result EU IPR Enforcement Directive 2004/48/EC. It aims at enforcing copyright, well other IP rights, when they are violated, especially online. A survey conducted three...
Carbonea is a widely distributed genus of lecideoid fungi, including both lichenized and non-lichenized, often parasitic species. We describe the new, non-lichenized species tephromelae, based on material collected in Swedish part Scandes. The new characterized by colourless hypothecium, broadly ellipsoid to globose ascospores, growing thallus common saxicolous lichen Tephromela atra. It similar likewise lichenicolous C. supersparsa vitellinaria, but clearly separated from these anatomy...
This paper aims to explore the multifaceted meaning, logic, and morality of informal transactions in order better understand social context that informs meaning corruption bribery post-Soviet Uzbekistan.It will be argued Uzbek society reflect different cultural functional meanings from those most Western world, hence a Westerncentric perspective would labelled as bribes can morally accepted context.If this is true, there may reasons re-evaluate relevance Western-centric interpretations...
Purpose The purpose of this study is to understand more online anonymity in the global file sharing community context social norms and copyright law. describes respondents terms use VPN or similar service related age, gender, geographical location, as well analysing correlation with frequencies. Design/methodology/approach This a large extent descriptively collecting data through web‐based survey. was carried out collaboration BitTorrent tracker Pirate Bay (TPB), allowing authors link survey...
The increasing demand for forest-derived bio-fuel may decrease the amount of dead wood and hence also available substrate saproxylic ( = dead-wood dependent) organisms. Cut stumps constitute a large portion in managed boreal forests. lichen flora such has received little interest. Therefore, we investigated which lichens that occur on young (4–19 years), forests analyzed how species richness occurrence individual were related to stump stand characteristics. We performed inventories 576...
Micarea is a lichenized genus in the family Pilocarpaceae (Ascomycota). We studied phylogeny and reassessed current taxonomy of M. prasina group. focused especially on taxonomic questions concerning type species and, furthermore, challenges specimens that are too old for successful DNA barcoding molecular studies. The was reconstructed using nuc rDNA internal transcribed spacer region (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 = ITS), mitochrondrial small subunit (mtSSU), replication licensing factor MCM7 gene from 31...
Molecular identification of organisms is now a common practice and, increasingly, species are identified from environmental samples.However, for most organisms, we still lack comprehensive reference databases DNA barcodes to identify the sequences produced.We present near-complete database ITS and mtSSU barcodes, named Martin7, accurate molecular epiphytic lichens (mycobionts) central Europe.New data were obtained by Sanger PacBio sequencing.We 907 603 844 546 supplemented our dataset with...

This article analyses current trends in the use of anonymity services among younger Swedes (15–25 years old) and focuses on individuals engaging illegal file sharing order to better understand rationale behind both as well online anonymity, especially relation enforcement copyright. By comparing findings a survey conducted three occasions (early 2009, late 2009 early 2012), we measure fluctuations approximately 1000 15–25-year-olds Sweden, compare them with frequencies and, some extent,...
The nomenclature and taxonomy of Acarospora molybdina is revised using morphological molecular data. new combination Myriospora proposed hysgina recognized as a distinct species while A. brunneola reduced to synonymy with . In its circumscription M. an arctic species, in Scandinavia only occurring northernmost Norway. Further localities are reported from Greenland, Russia, Svalbard the USA (Alaska). correct name for distributed along west coast Sweden Norway, formerly thought belong...
Abstract The European Union directive on Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement (IPRED) was implemented in Sweden April 1, 2009, and meant to be the enforcement needed achieve increased compliance with intellectual property online, especially copyright. This, therefore, manifest function of directive. article empirically shows changes levels use Online Anonymity Services (OAS) as a result implementation IPRED Sweden, being latent dysfunction data consists two surveys about 1,000 people...
Abstract Questions How much dead wood in the form of branches attached to living trees, compared other types wood, is present managed boreal forests? Which lichen species grow on this substrate? Location Two areas coniferous forest southern Sweden. Methods We surveyed numbers and surface all major 80 stands forests various ages wooded mires. In total, we recorded 5546 480 trees. also lichens growing 812 these branches. Results The area was generally same magnitude as that combined. Of 46...
Abstract A taxonomic and biogeographic overview of the genus Myrionora is provided. Two species are recognized, M. albidula (Willey) R. C. Harris pseudocyphellariae (Etayo) S. Ekman & Palice comb. nov.

Lichenised fungi are traditionally assumed to form obligate symbioses with algae or cyanobacteria and be confined the surface of their growing substratum. However, in a recent 454 pyrosequencing study fungal communities Picea abies logs, lichen-forming were detected at depth more than 6 cm dead wood, implying existence free-living lichen mycobionts. To determine whether this was case, we investigated Cladonia spp., most frequently encountered mycobionts, occurred wood without photobionts. We...
Sequencing of environmental DNA is increasingly used to estimate biodiversity at various taxonomic and spatial levels. However, most such studies tend deal with abstract numbers not linked species names, which hampers evaluation downstream use the results. In our survey epiphytic lichens in Czech Republic, we managed link sequences from using an existing reference database barcodes. On 1-ha sites types central-European forests, were able compare data samples (i) results a parallel (ii)...
Abstract To replace fossil fuel and thereby mitigate climate change, harvesting of wood such as stumps for bioenergy will likely increase. Coarse deadwood is an important resource biodiversity comprise the main part coarse in managed forests. We provide first integrated analysis long‐term impacts a whole landscape. simultaneously project to substitute coal, assuming scenarios with different proportions landscape stump harvest (10, 50, 80%) coming 50 years. A life cycle approach was used...
