Abstract: [Although previous work " ... has shown that lichens formed a consistent component in the monkeys' diet year-round (67%) ... ", the authors conclude here that " ... Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys have a much more species-rich plant diet than was previously believed and are probably subject to moderate feeding competition."]

Abstract: [Study site in NW Yunnan, China. "A non-plant food, lichens (Parmeliaceae), featured prominently in the diet throughout the year (annual representation in the diet was about 67%) and became the dominant food item in winter when palatable plant resources were scarce. Using lichens is a way to mediate effects of seasonal dearth in palatable plant foods and ultimately a key survival strategy. The higher abundance of lichens at higher altitudes explains the monkeys' tendency to occupy relatively high altitudes in winter despite the prevailing cold. Usnea lichens, the snub-nosed monkeys' primary dietary component, are known to be highly susceptible to human-induced environmental changes such as air pollution, and a decline of this critical resource base could have devastating effects on the last remaining populations."]

Abstract: [Author proposes the term "ekreophilic" for " ... lichens developing on rocks subjected to prolonged water flows and "hydrophilic" when they colonise areas subjected to periodic immersion by watercourses." Other terms are proposed for these phytosociological units and discussed based on observations of 300 samples across France.]

Abstract: ["Molecular data show that European and North American samples of C. rei belong to the same clade, which is closely related to C. fimbriata and followed by a subclade with C. coniocraea and C. ochrochlora. The subclade of C. subulata appears to be distinct from C. rei." Homosekikaic acid is the distinguishing character for C. rei. "In addition, C. humilis and C. innominata proved to be molecularly distinct species."]

Abstract: [Analysis of 83 taxa using nuLSU, nuSSU and RPB1 sequences. "Most genera, as traditionally delimited, were not monophyletic," and " ... the use of symplesiomorphic traits to define Verrucaria ... as well as the non monophyly of the genera Polyblastia, Staurothele and Thelidium, explain most of the discrepancies between the current classification based on morphological similarity and a classification using monophyly as a grouping criterion." New: Endocarpon diffactellum (Nyl.) comb. nov., Heteroplacidium fusculum(Nyl.) comb. nov., and Bagliettoa marmorea (Scop.) comb. nov.]

Abstract: [Comparison of three regional-scale drivers (woodland extent and continuity, pollution regime, and climatic setting) to explain the composition and species richness of lichen epiphytes in Scotland used data from 170 study sites. "First, our results demonstrate the importance of climate in explaining species composition. Second, we show a functional decoupling between composition and species richness, which was optimally explained by old-growth woodland extent and pollution, and only weakly explained by climate."]
