Lichen communities and species indicate climate thresholds in southeast and south-central Alaska, USA

Creator:

Root, Heather T., McCune, Bruce, and Jovan, Sarah

Abstract:

Because of their unique physiology, lichen communities are highly sensitive to climatic conditions, making them ideal bioindicators for climate change. Southeast and south-central Alaska host diverse and abundant lichen communities and are faced with a more rapidly changing climate than many more southerly latitudes. We develop sensitive lichen-based indicators for...

Geographic, climatic, and chemical differentiation in the Hypogymnia imshaugii species complex (Lecanoromycetes, Parmeliaceae) in North America

Creator:

McCune, Bruce, Schoch, Conrad, Root, Heather T., Kageyama, Stacie A., and Miadlikowska, Jolanta

Abstract:

Hypogymnia imshaugii is one of the most common, conspicuous and morphologically variable epiphytic lichens of the Pacific coastal states and provinces. The species varies greatly in morphology and chemistry, suggesting multiple closely related species or one or more phenotypically plastic species. We sought to determine whether additional ecologically meaningful species...
