M. van Herk. 2007. Lecidea grisella sympatric with Lecidea fuscoatra, differing in its rimose instead of areolate thallus. Lichenologist 39(3): 293–296.

Resolving genetic relationships in manna group of lichens from genus Aspicilia. African Journal of Biotechnology 6(9): 1154–1160. [Authors conclude, based on ITS rDNA data for 12 sequences of 6 species, that ‘‘ . . . Aspicilia genus is phylogenetically closer to the orders and families from Ostropomycetidae subclass rather than Lecanoromycetidae which support the placement of Hymeneliaceae within Ostropomycetidae.’’] Arup, U., S. Ekman, M. Grube, J.-E. Mattsson & M. Wedin. 2007. The sister group relation of Parmeliaceae (Lecanorales, Ascomycota). Mycologia 99(1): 42–49. [‘‘The results show that the closest relatives to Parmeliaceae are the two genera Protoparmelia and Gypsoplaca, which are crustose lichens. Parmeliaceae in our sense are a well supported group, including also the family segregates Alectoriaceae, Hypogymniaceae, Usneaceae and Anziaceae.’’] Arvidsson, L. 2007.

Content of secondary compounds depends on thallus size in the foliose lichen Lobaria pulmonaria. Lichenologist 39(3): 273–278. [Material from Norway showed a ‘‘ . . . positive correlation between thallus size an the total concentration of secondary compounds, as well as the total content per unit area for * The cumulative database for this series is available in searchable form on the World Wide Web at http://www.nhm.uio.no/botanisk/ bot-mus/lav/sok_rll.htm.
