Lichen: from genome to ecosystem in a changing world 1A-P (1A-P6) Submission ID: <strong>IAL</strong>0110-00003 ON STUDY OF LICHEN DIVERSITY OF PROTECTED AREAS OF ESFAHAN PROVINCE (IRAN) Kondratyuk S. Y. 1 , Zarei-Darki B. 2 1 Lichenology and Bryology, M.H. Kholodny Institute Of Botany, Kiev, Ukraine 2 Falavarian Branch, Islamic Azad University, Esfahan, Iran There are hitherto only data on twenty one lichen species of the genera Acarospora, Aspicilia, Caloplaca, Candelariella, Collema, Glypholecia, Lecidea, Lobothallia, Physcia, Polysporina, Rhizoplaca, Rusavskia, Sarcogyne, Toninia, and Verrucaria, found in the Esfahan Province of Iran (Seaward et al. 2004; Sohrabi 2009-2010 http://www.myco-lich.com). During 2010 special collections of lichens were done by B. Zarei-Darki in Mooteh and Karkas protected areas of the Esfahan Province, Iran. In total, more than 500 field envelops of lichens were collected. Mooteh Wildlife refuge, with a total area a. 205,302 ha, was created in 1990 while it was as protected area since 1964. Karkas hunting-prohibited Region, with a total area a. 92,100 ha, is the protected area since 1980. Preliminary identifications of our collections show the high species diversity of both lichen-forming and lichenicolous fungi in areas mentioned. So a number of lichen taxa, i.e. Arthonia epiphyscia, A. cf. hawksworthii, Caloplaca intrudens, C. scrobiculata, Opegrapha romsae, Protoparmeliopsis laatokkaensis, Xanthoparmelia loxodes and Zwackhiomyces coepulonus are for the first time recorded for the whole Iran. The following lichenforming and lichenicolous fungi as Arthonia molendoi, Caloplaca decipiens, C. mogoltanica, C. trachyphylla, C. xantholyta, Protoparmeliopsis garovaglii, P. muralis, Muellerella pygmaea are for the first time recorded for the Esfahan Province. The new hosts are for the first time recorded for such lichenicolous fungi as Arthonia molendoi and Zwackhiomyces coepulonus. A number of critical taxa of lichen-forming fungi of the Protoparmeliopsis muralis-, Caloplaca persica- and C. scrobiculata-, Lecania ochronigra-, and Rusavskia elegans- groups, as well as some representatives of the genera Acarospora, Aspicilia, Lecanora, and lichenicolous fungi of the genera Zwackhiomyces, Cercidospora, Phoma, and Lichenostigma are under special revision at the moment.

STEINER Senkardesler A. 1 , Cansaran Duman D. 2 1 Department of Biology, EGE University, Faculty of Science, Izmir, Turkey 2 Ilac Kozm. Aras. Mud., Refik Saydam Hifzissihha Merk. Bask, Ankara, Turkey Cladonia trapezuntica J. Steiner (lichenized fungi, Ascomycetes) rediscovered recently, was first described from North Turkey in 1909 and was never reported after. This species was collected by Handel-Mazzetti on mosses from Eseli village, which was evacuated several decades ago; today, this village is neither known from current maps nor by the local population. Cladonia trapezuntica is similar to Pycnothelia papillaria (Ehrh.) L.M. Dufour, but it differs 1) in its cushion-like growing form of the thallus, 2) by its rather temporary primary thallus (usually it is continuous in P. papillaria), and 3) in its growth on metal rich soil, which is rich in iron oxide followed by calcium phosphate hydroxide hydrate, calcium carbonate and barium aluminium silicate. Despite of more than 430 papers published about lichens collected from Turkey, P. papillaria is not known from the country. From this reason, ecology, distribution (rarity) and taxonomy of C. trapezuntica were studied for conservational purposes. This study was supported by The Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund, Project number 10051505. 84
The 7 th International Association for Lichenology <strong>Symposium</strong> 2012 (1A – P8) Submission ID: <strong>IAL</strong>0125-00002 WHERE ARE THE TYPE SPECIMENS OF ÖDÖN SZATALA REALLY DEPOSITED? Senkardesler A. 1 , Lökös L. 2 , Molnar K. 3 , Farkas E. 3 1 Department of Biology, EGE University Faculty of Science, Izmir, Turkey 2 Department of Botany, Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest, Hungary 3 Laboratory for Botany and Phytochemistry, Institute of Ecology and Botany of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Vacratot, Hungary Taxonomic studies based on type material are difficult if the deposition of types are not known correctly. In the case of Ödön Szatala’s type specimens, several mistakes on their typification were made, since deposition of many type specimens were unknown. Ödön Szatala was usually thought to be working in his whole scientific life in the Hungarian Natural History Museum (BP). Despite of this, he was working in BP only during his last five years before his death in 1958. More than 80% of his papers were published before his time at the museum. Prior to this, he was working as an internationally respected expert on seed testing in the Royal Hungarian Experimental Institute for Seed Testing and in various stations of the same company situated in several cities. Most of 72 new lichen species, 26 new varieties and 71 new forms, described by him based on different collections, were introduced to lichenology during this period. The main problems are caused by those taxa, because the protologues do not provide any internal evidence concerning on the deposition of type materials. In this poster, we would like to present Ödön Szatala’s career and share our results on his type specimens deposition. These specimens were mainly deposited in BP and W, however, other herbaria (e.g. B, CL, GB, GZU, LBL, M) could also keep some of these original materials, while no types has been seen in WU (except the isotypes in exsiccate Lichenotheca parva). A total of 49 critical taxa described by O. Szatala will be discussed here. This study was supported by SYNTHESYS AT-TAF-3435& HU-TAF-1103 and OTKA K81232. 85 1A-P
