3B-2-P Lichen: from genome to ecosystem in a changing world (3B-2-P9) Submission ID: IAL0136-00003 ASSESSING VARIABILITY OF MOLECULAR MARKERS FOR POPULATION STUDIES IN MYCOBIONTS AND PHOTOBIONTS: A CASE STUDY USING LASALLIA PUSTULATA Sadowska-Des A. 1 , Balint M. 2 , Nunez J. 3 , Otte J. 2 , Pauls S. 2 , Pino-Bodas R. 4 , Schmitt I. 2 1 Departament of Biodiversity and Plant Cover Protection, University of Wroclaw, Wroclaw, Poland 2 Senckenberg Gesellschaft Fuer Naturforschung, Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre, Frankfurt Am Main, Germany 3 Department of Biología Vegetal II, Complutense University, Madrid, Spain 4 Department of Biología Vegetal I, Complutense University, Madrid, Spain In this study we assess the variability of the following markers: Photobiont: ITS rDNA, actin, RBCL, COX, PSB; Mycobiont: ITSrDNA, mtSSU, mtLSU, RPB1, RPB2, MCM7, TSR1 and EF1. We report variability of these markers within Lasallia pustulata collected from different populations across Europe. Additionally, we checked for diversity of fungal ITS rDNA copies using 454 pyrosequencing of ITS amplicons. This study revealed a number of different ITS haplotypes within a single specimen. (3B-2-P10) Submission ID: IAL0138-00002 PECULIAR BIODIVERSITY OF LICHENS IN THE DAGESTAN REPUBLIC (RUSSIA) Urbanavichyus G. P. 1 , Ismailov A. B. 2 1 Laboratory of Terrestrial Ecosystems, Institute of The Industrial Ecology Problems of The North, Russian Academy of Sciences, Apatity, Murmansk, Russia 2 Laboratory of Introduction, Mountain Botanical Garden, Dagestan Science Centre, Russian Academy of Sciences, Makhachkala, Russia On grounds of lichenofloristic surveys, the Dagestan Republic is one of the least-known parts of Russia as well as the Caucasus Mountains. Due to its diverse geomorphology and altitudinal range, it harbors a speciesrich mosaic of xerophilous to alpine vegetation; e.g. mountainous dry pine forests, mesophytic deciduous forests, steppes and semi-deserts. Vascular plants are rather well-known and comprise c. 3,000 species, including 73 local endemics. Nevertheless, only 63 lichen species were known before our investigations. Our study increased the number of known lichens and lichenicolous fungi to 460. Within 3 years (2009-2011), 415 species of lichens and lichenicolous fungi were recorded within 15 square kilometers in the Gunib plateau (42°24′N, 46°55′E, 1,450-2,335 m) in Intermontane Dagestan. It has higher lichen biodiversity in a relatively small space than anywhere else in Russia. More than 100 recorded species were previously not known from Caucasus and 29 species are new to Russia. More than 80% of the species (345) were present in two vegetation types: (1) pine forest with Pinus kochiana and (2) birch forest; both types together occupy only c. 3 square kilometers of the territory. Northern slopes with dense deciduous forests have the highest diversity of cyanolichens, 39 species. The major epiphytic diversity was observed on bark of Betula in well-preserved forests, 128 species. Terricolous species were recorded mainly above 1,900 m. The majority of saxicolous lichens was found on vertical, sunexposed limestone rocks, in both xeric and humid conditions in altitudes 1,500-2,335 m. The lichen flora of the Gunib plateau has a high proportion of temperate-oceanic and boreal elements amoung epiphytic lichens; but montane-continental and arctic-alpine elements prevail among saxicolous and terricolous lichens. Our preliminary data show that the lichen flora of Dagestan is related to the floras in Armeno-Iranian and Central Anatolian floristic provinces within the Irano-Turanian region. In conclusion, we estimate more than thousand lichen species occurring in Dagestan. 174
The 7 th International Association for Lichenology Symposium 2012 (3B-2-P11) Submission ID: IAL0189-00001 GEOGRAPHICAL ASPECTS OF SYMBIONT DIVERSITY IN THE GENUS NEPHROMA Fedrowitz K. 1 , Kaasalainen U. 2 , Rikkinen J. 2 1 Department of Ecology, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) Uppsala, Sweden 2 Department of Biosciences, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland Patterns of symbiont diversity in cyanolichens are important for the deeper understanding of ecological processes affecting these species, such as dispersal, establishment, and symbiont selectivity. We studied the diversity of Nephroma (Peltigerales, Ascomycota) mycobionts within a global, phylogenetic framework and investigated the genetic diversity of their associated Nostoc photobionts. Fungal genotypes were based on the Internal Transcribed Spacer region (ITS) of ribosomal DNA (rDNA), while cyanobacterial diversity was based on nucleotide differences in the tRNALeu (UAA) intron. The full data set included over 250 mycobiont and over 350 photobiont sequences, of which over 140 were obtained from the same lichen specimen, respectively. Our sampling was focused on the northern hemisphere, but we also included some material from South America and New Zealand. The study illustrates the phylogenetic structure for the genus Nephroma in the northern hemisphere and shows that several clades are variable and likely consist of several species. Our results provide evidence that several lichen-forming fungi of the genus Nephroma associate with sequence identical Nostoc haplotypes over a global scale (Europe – Asia, or Europe – North America). All bipartite species share Nostoc genotypes with one or more species, while tripartite species are not monophyletic within Nephroma but use entirely different photobiotic strains. Geographic mosaic patterns in symbiont selectivity were identified for two species, showing relatively higher selectivity locally compared to globally. Such patterns indicate habitat preferences of particular symbiont combinations but also a possible founder effect. We conclude that species of the genus Nephroma are selective in their association with symbiotic partners. Particular symbiont associations are linked to geographical areas, and several lichen-forming fungi of this genus share sequence identical photobionts over a global scale. More studies on photobiont sharing in lichen communities are needed to further identify how and where lichen species acquire their symbiotic partners. 175 3B-2-P
