title: DIVERSITY, ECOLOGICAL ROLES, AND ENVIRONMENTAL SENSITIVITY OF LICHENS: A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF SYMBIOTIC ORGANISMS AS BIOINDICATORS

description: Lichens represent a remarkable symbiotic association between fungi (mycobiont) and photosynthetic partners (photobiont)—either green algae or cyanobacteria—forming composite organisms with unique biological characteristics and ecological functions. This comprehensive study investigated lichen diversity, distribution patterns, ecological roles, and sensitivity to environmental changes across multiple habitat types including urban, forest, and alpine ecosystems. Field surveys conducted over 18 months across 45 sampling sites documented 187 lichen species representing three major growth forms: crustose (42.2%), foliose (35.8%), and fruticose (22.0%). Species richness varied significantly among habitat types, with maximum diversity observed in mature forest ecosystems (mean 34.6 ± 6.8 species per site) compared to urban environments (mean 12.3 ± 4.2 species per site, p<0.001). Functional group analysis revealed that 47.6% of identified species were nitrophobic (nitrogen-sensitive), 31.2% were nitrotolerant, and 21.2% were nitrophilous (nitrogen-loving), reflecting varying adaptations to atmospheric nitrogen deposition. Assessment of air quality using lichen diversity indices demonstrated strong negative correlations between pollution levels and lichen species richness (r = -0.78, p<0.001), with particularly pronounced effects on fruticose and foliose macrolichens. Heavy metal accumulation analysis in lichen thalli revealed bioaccumulation capacities ranging from 15.4 to 487.3 μg/g dry weight for various pollutants, with highest concentrations of copper, zinc, and lead detected in lichens from industrial and traffic-dense urban areas. Climate sensitivity assessments indicated that 34.5% of surveyed species exhibited restricted geographic distributions potentially vulnerable to climate change, particularly alpine and arctic-alpine species. Secondary metabolite profiling identified 42 distinct lichen substances with diverse biological activities, including compounds with antimicrobial, antioxidant, and potential pharmaceutical properties. Our findings demonstrate that lichens serve critical ecological functions including primary productivity in nutrient-poor ecosystems, nitrogen fixation through cyanolichens, soil stabilization, and provision of habitat and food resources for invertebrates and vertebrates. The marked sensitivity of lichen communities to environmental stressors, coupled with their global distribution and ease of identification, establishes lichens as valuable bioindicators for monitoring air quality, climate change impacts, and ecosystem health. Conservation implications emphasize the need for habitat protection, pollution reduction, and climate change mitigation to preserve lichen diversity and the essential ecosystem services these organisms provide.

title: Emma Lazarus Jewish Women's Clubs of Los Angeles Records, 1945-1980

description: The Emma Lazarus Jewish Women’s Clubs of Los Angeles Records, 1945-1980 subcollection is comprised of records from the Emma Lazarus Jewish Clubs of Los Angeles (ELJWCLA), active from 1951 to 1980. The majority of the subcollection consists of correspondence, minutes of meetings, and records of cultural programs. The ELJWCLA also assembled a large number of newspaper clippings and pamphlets relating to the interests of the organization, which included: anti-Semitism, desegregation, civil rights and voting rights, deportation of the foreign born (Walter-McCarran Act), peace and nuclear disarmament, Jewish culture and children’s education, international brotherhood (particularly with the Soviet Union), the arts in general, and the status of women (particularly working women).The ELJWCLA was part of the national Emma Lazarus Federation of Jewish Women’s Clubs, which grew out of the Emma Lazarus Division of the Jewish People’s Fraternal Order, itself an outgrowth of the United Council of Working Class Housewives (later the Progressive Women’s Council). The Los Angeles clubs coordinated many of their activities with the national Federation, however, much of their work focused locally. In the mid-fifties the ELJWCLA were particularly concerned with civil rights and partnered with African-American organizations in Los Angeles. The clubs sponsored plays on the history of the Jewish people in the United States, concerts by Jewish and African-American performers, election and legislative initiatives on the local, state, and national level, senior citizen centers, and International Women’s Day celebrations. The records of the ELJWCLA end in 1980, with the activities of the organization ceasing during this decade. The national Federation dissolved in 1989.Materials from the Emma Lazarus Jewish Women's Clubs of Los Angeles Records subcollection are part of the L.A. as Subject Community Histories Digitization Project. Thanks to generous support from the National Endowment for the Humanities (https://www.neh.gov/), the USC Libraries are digitizing this collection for public access.
