For genera Trebouxia and Myrmecia pigment content was identified for the first time. It was revealed that quantity and ratio of pigments in the species of genus Trebouxia belonging to different morpho-ecological groups are unequal."

The old names Circinaria and Sagedia are reintroduced for groups not including A. cinerea, the type of Aspicilia. The monotypic Megaspora is closely related to Circinaria, while Lobothallia is the sister group of the other Megasporaceae genera. Aspicilia recedens and A. farinosa are transferred to Lobothallia. Species of the 'Sphaerothallia group' are nested in Circinaria. Aspilidea is not a member of Megasporaceae but seems to be more closely related to Ochrolechiaceae. Aspilidea myrinii is neotypified, and lectotypes are designated for Aspicilia gibbosa, A. leprosescens and Lecanora gibbosula."]

Abstract: Lichens meet some but not all of the criteria that must be fulfilled by inhabitants of Mars.They could withstand many aspects of the hostile environment especially if they live within the rocks as they do in the dry valleys of Antarctica. Lichens are dual organisms and we would have to presuppose the successful establishment of algae and fungi on Mars. The lack of liquid water on the surface and the problem of obtaining sufficient nitrogen resources are particular problems for Martian lichens.

Keywords: MARGINAL LOBES/ RADIAL GROWTH RATE/ LOBE GROWTH VARIATION
Abstract: The pattern of lobe connectivity at the margin is a factor which determines lobe growth variation in foliose lichens. As the thallus grows, the lobes become more crowded together which may determine the increasing phase of growth in smaller thalli and the asymtotic phase of growth in larger thalli.

Keywords: RADIAL GROWTH/ FOLIOSE LICHEN/ LOBE DIVISION/ CARBOHYDRATE SUPPLY
Abstract: The margins of foliose lichen thalli comprise individual lobes which grow radially and divide. This results in a complex marginal structure in which lobes differing in morphology, state of division, and growth pattern are crowded together. Various aspects of the biology of these lobes are reviewed including their carbohydrate supply, morphology, pattern of division and branching, the effect of lobe overcrowding and interactions between neighbouring lobes. As the thalus grows, lobes become increasingly crowded together and this restricts further lateral growth. Restriction of lobe width may be reponsible for the changes in radial growth rate (RGR) with size observed in foliose species. Various aspects of lobe biology may be responsible for lobe growth variation including the physical independence of lobes from their neighbours, the genetic origin of the lobes, and the pattern of lobe branching. Overall symmetry of a thallus is maintained by a fluctuating pattern of growth of individual lobes in successive months together with competition for space at the margin.

Keywords: CRUSTOSE LICHENS/ GROWTH CURVES/ RADIAL GROWTH RATE
Abstract: The growth curves of four common species of crustose lichen, viz., Buellia aethalea (Ach.)Th.Fr., Lecidea tumida Massal., Rhizocarpon geographicum (L.) DC., and Rhizocarpon reductum Th. Fr. were studied at a site in south Gwynedd, north Wales, U.K. Radial growth rates (RGR, mm 1.5 yr-1) were greatest in thalli of R. reductum and least in R. geographicum. Variation in RGR between thalli was greater in B. aethalea and L. tumida than in the species of Rhizocarpon. The relationship between growth rate and thallus diameter was not asymptotic; RGR increasing in smaller thalli to a maximum and then declining in larger diameter thalli. A polynomial curve was fitted to the data; the growth curves being fitted best by a second-order (quadratic) curve, the best fit to this model being shown by B. aethalea. A significant linear regression with a negative slope was also fitted to the growth of the larger thalli of each species. The data suggest that the growth curves of the four crustose lichens differ significantly from the asymptotic curves of foliose lichen species. A phase of declining RGR in larger thalli appears to be characteristic of crustose lichens and is consistent with data from lichenometric studies.
