The number of undescribed species lichenized fungi has been estimated at roughly 10,000. Describing and cataloging these would take the existing taxonomists several decades; however, support for taxonomy is in decline worldwide. In this paper we emphasize dire need taxonomic expertise lichenology. We bring together 103 colleagues from institutions worldwide to describe a total 100 new fungi, representing wide geographic range. newly described are: Acarospora flavisparsa, A. janae,...
Biodiversity is a key criterion in nature protection and often indicates habitats localities rich endangered species. Our research, using 48 one-man one-day field trips, located an exceptional lichen diversity hotspot refugium for rare species, the Týřov National Nature Reserve (Czech Republic, central Bohemia). Within its 410 hectares, we detected 787 species of lichens related taxa (675 lichens, 35 semilichens, 58 lichenicolous fungi 19 bark microfungi). This more these organisms than has...
Lecanora s. lat. is a genus of crustose lichens comprising c. 1000 recognized species and subdivided into several morphology-based groups. One the groups that has rarely been studied by molecular methods L. saligna-group. This group includes corticolous lignicolous Lecanora, usually containing isousnic or usnic acid (or both) as major secondary metabolites. We present here systematic revision 23 belonging to saligna-group with descriptions an identification key. A phylogenetic analysis based...
Trapelioid fungi constitute a widespread group of mostly crust-forming lichen mycobionts that are key to understanding the early evolutionary splits in Ostropomycetidae, second-most species-rich subclass lichenized Ascomycota. The uncertain phylogenetic resolution approximately 170 species referred this contributes poorly resolved backbone for entire subclass. Based on data set including 657 newly generated sequences from four ribosomal and protein-coding gene loci, we tested series priori...
The phylogeny of the Lecanora varia group is inferred from ITS sequences using Bayesian and ML phylogenetic analysis methods. According to our data, usnic acid-containing, corticolous species do not form a monophyletic but occur in three major clades together with other groups Protoparmeliopsis. new combination filamentosa (Stirt.) Elix & Palice proposed. schizochromatica described northwestern North America. It produces atranorin as substance closely related morphologically chemically...
Abstract This paper presents new records of 180 lichen species from Bolivia; 103 are national records. Three species, Bryonora curvescens (Mudd) Poelt (also Ecuador), Lepraria elobata Tønsberg and Pyrenula laetior Müll. Arg., reported for the first time Southern Hemisphere, five, Bathelium aff. sphaericum (C. W. Dodge) R. C. Harris, jackii Tønsberg, Psiloparmelia arhizinosa Hale, Szczawinskia tsugae A. Funk Trinathotrema lumbricoides (Sipman) Sipman & Aptroot, to South America. To...

New lichen records and rediscoveries from the Czech Republic Slovakia. — Herzogia 27: 257–284.Despite over two centuries of fairly intensive study, flora Central European countries is still incompletely known. Based on revision herbarium material new field work, we report thirty-four species for first time, twenty-two Caloplaca brachyspora, Micarea confusa Sclerophora amabilis are to Europe. alaskensis reported outside Arctic time. Other noteworthy...
We tested two methods to obtain more complete species inventories in surveys of lichen biodiversity. The first was employ eight lichenologists (all experienced, some specialists) acting as individuals parallel a competitive survey. second organize those into competing teams. show that overall recorded biodiversity is distinctly higher than the part by each single lichenologist (45–66%) or team (79–83%). Use these survey epiphytic and epixylic lichens resulted list containing 112 1 ha, 192...
Abstract Sixteen sorediate epiphytic species of Lecanora with atranorin from Europe are reported here. substerilis is described as a new Carpathian beech forests in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania and Ukraine; it belongs to L . subfusca group its strict sense characterized by usually verrucose thallus, apothecial margin, epihymenium coarse granules at paraphyses tips, amphithecium large crystals produces fatty acid(s). A new, yellow chemotype L. barkmaniana containing pulvinic acid...

Herzogia 31: 140–171.One largest European forests, Uholka-Shyrokyi Luh Carpathians, has received increased attention recent years. In spring 2015 we explored lichen biota southern part reserve.

Lichens and allied non-lichenized fungi of virgin forests in the Caucasus State Nature Biosphere Reserve (Western Caucasus, Russia). – Herzogia 33: 90 –138.We report on 659 epiphytic epixylic species recorded from seven one-hectare plots established along an altitudinal gradient a forest Reserve. A total 564 are lichens, 61 lichenicolous 34 non- or facultatively lichenized fungi. one hundred forty nine (116 17...
Although lichenized fungi are among the most reliable indicators of forest quality and represent a considerable part biodiversity, methods maximizing completeness their species lists per area lacking. Employing novel methodological approach including multi-expert competition search for local hot-spot plots, we have obtained outstanding data about epiphytic lichen biota in largest Central European virgin reserve Uholka–Shyrokyi Luh situated Ukrainian Carpathians. Our field research consisted...

Abstract Central Europe in general is poor Teloschistaceae lichen crusts ( Caloplaca s. lat.). Diversity of these lichens increased by the occurrence some Arctic, Mediterranean and continental species, which are here close to limits their range. Examples include: 1) interfulgens , previously known from arid territories northern Africa western Asia, recorded, surprisingly, Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Slovakia southern Russia. In Europe, it restricted scattered xerothermic limestone...
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...
