Lichen: from genome to ecosystem in a changing world 1A-P (1A-P3) Submission ID: IAL0059-00002 FIRST STEPS TO REVEAL THE DIVERSITY OF LECANORA IN BOLIVIA Sliwa L. 1 , Wilk K. 1 , Rodriguez Saavedra P. 2 , Flakus A. 1 1 Laboratory of Lichenology, W. Szafer Institute of Botany, Polish Academy of Sciences, Krakow, Poland 2 Department of Botany and Molecular Evolution, Senckenberg Forschunginstitut und Naturmuseum, Frankfurt Am Main, Germany Although Bolivia is thought to have one of the largest biodiversity worldwide, knowledge of its lichen biota is underexplored. Since several of its natural ecosystems are undoubtedly rich in lichen diversity, these soon may become endangered as in neighbouring countries. Therefore, studies aimed at establishing an inventory of this diversity are fundamental to lichen conservation in this part of South America. The present survey is focused on the genus Lecanora that is extremely poorly recognized in the area. Fourteen species are recorded from Bolivia (http://botan.botany.pl/lichens-bolivia), as compared with, for example, 124 from the comprehensively investigated Greater Sonoran Desert Region in North America. The present study, based on material collected recently from various biogeographic regions in Bolivia, has revealed many noteworthy species, many new to Bolivia (e.g. L. cavicola, L. flowersiana, L. laxa, L. semipallida, L. stenotropa, L. subaurea) and several newly reported from South America. Two species are undescribed: one closely related to L. polytropa, but distinguished by its anatomy and chemistry, and the other representing the L. dispersa group, being reminiscent of L. semipallida, but differing in the ITS sequence and some morphological details. Research supported by NCBiR in Poland under the LIDER Program; project no. 92/L-1/09. (1A-P4) Submission ID: IAL0064-00002 PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF A TAXONOMICAL REVISION OF NON-SAXICOLOUS LECIDEOID LICHENS IN SOUTHERN SOUTH AMERICA Rodriguez- Saavedra P. 1 , Printzen C. 1 1 Department of Botany and Molecular Evolution, Senckenberg Forschunginstitut und Naturmuseum, Frankfurt Am Main, Germany Lecidea sensu lato is one of the most species-rich and widespread crustose lichen groups worldwide, which is widely represented especially in extra-tropical areas. According to Zahlbruckner’s catalogue 99 species of non-saxicolous Lecidea s. lato are known from the study area (including Argentina, Chile and Uruguay). To date taxonomy and phylogenetic studies on non-saxicolous species are largely lacking. Many specific and infraspecific names need better understanding, and the generic position of many species requires revision. Therefore, we start with a systematic revision of the poorly known group in southern South America. The taxonomic study is based on both historical and fresh collections, and considers anatomy, morphology and secondary metabolites. We show preliminary results of our work, including anatomical and morphological characters important for the taxonomy of the group, descriptions of selected species, taxonomical comments, and preliminary ecological and distributional data. 82
The 7 th International Association for Lichenology Symposium 2012 (1A-P5) Submission ID: IAL0095-00001 EFFECTS OF WATER TREATMENT AND ASPECT ORIENTATION ON THE SURVIVAL OF PARMOTREMA TINCTORUM TRANSPLANTED TO ARTIFICIAL SUBSTRATES IN THAILAND Santanoo S. 1 , Boonpragob K. 1 1 Biology, Ramkhamhaeng University, Bangkok, Thailand The lichen Parmotrema tinctorum has potential to be utilized in various ways. As such, increased production is essential to meeting future demand for this lichen. The objectives of this study were, therefore, to find appropriate techniques and microhabitats which would enhance the in situ biomass production of this lichen by means of transplantation to artificial substrates. The study was carried out by transplanting nine hundred and sixty thallus fragments of Parmotrema tinctorum at Khao Yai National Park. The transplanted thalli were fixed on nylon nets placed above the surface of the earth at an approximate inclination of 40°. These substrates faced the four cardinal directions in addition to those which were oriented horizontally. Three water treatments were applied to the transplanted thalli consisted of no extra water, evaporation from wet soil and spraying water over the thalli. Thirty two months after transplantation, thallus fragments which received moisture from evaporation of wet soil had higher proportion of survived thalli than those without extra water and those received spraying water over thalli accounting for 39%, 33% and 28% respectively. The transplanted thalli receiving evaporated water from the soil exhibited the highest survival rate for those on substrates facing the east at 23%, whereas those facing the south, the west, oriented horizontally, and the north exhibited respective survival rates at 19%, 21%, 19% and 18%. The thalli facing the east received more light than those facing the other cardinal directions and those oriented horizontally. The cool season showed the lowest death rate for thalli in contrast to the rainy season which showed the highest death rate caused by the accumulation of water in the nylon net substrates. In the second year of transplantation, a higher proportion of dead thalli were found comparing to the first year because numerous isidia produced by the transplanted thalli had been broken off by heavy rain. Some of them germinated and became juvenile lobules located near the original transplanted thalli. These observations are underway to facilitate optimal conditions for propagating lichens such that conservation and sustainable utilization could be implemented. 83 1A-P
