In this work, we compare the morphology of H. parvifructa to that of H. syringifolia and other related species.

This first contribution reports 327 records of 106 macrolichen taxa from 24 localities in which the main habitats occurring in the montane and subalpine belts of the valley are represented. Dermatocarpon intestiniforme, Parmelia submontana, Parmotrema arnoldii and Cetrelia cetrarioides are new to Lombardy; the latter two species, together with Hypotrachyna laevigata, Menegazzia terebrata and Parmotrema crinitum, are listed in the Italian Red List of epiphytic lichens. Other species with conservation or biogeographical value include Cladonia grayi, Cladonia pulvinata, Leptogium saturninum, Peltigera lepidophora and Sphaerophorus fragilis. Some considerations on the surveyed species are expressed and suggestions aimed at improving the lichenological knowledge of the Val di Scalve valley and the Orobic Prealps and Alps are discussed. Furthermore, the first record of Parmelia pinnatifida in Italy, which contributes to filling a gap in knowledge about its distribution in the Alps, is reported from the neighbouring upper Val Camonica valley (province of Brescia).","PeriodicalId":39391,"journal":{"name":"Webbia","volume":"74 1","pages":"307 - 315"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00837792.2019.1692595","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47645676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of the study was to analyse sensitivity of various species to climate change and to predict the changes in species’ distribution under projected changes of environmental variables. The results showed that depth was the most influential environmental variable in predicting the spatial distribution of charophytes and angiosperms. Other environmental variables had notably lower importance in determining community structure and the order of importance was species specific. The exceptions were the charophytes Chara horrida and C. tomentosa, for which the influence of wave exposure was stronger than the influence of depth. The studied species could be divided into three groups based on the predicted effect of climate change: (1) species that benefit from change (Chara connivens, Potamogeton perfoliatus, Myriophyllum spicatum, C. aspera, C. baltica, C. canescens, Ruppia maritima), (2) species with no notable change (Chara tomentosa, C. horrida, Stuckenia pectinata), and (3) species that decline (Zostera marina, Zannichellia palustris, Tolypella nidifica). Currently, the shallow and sheltered West Estonian Archipelago Sea hosts favourable habitat conditions for most of the charophyte and angiosperm species. The most significant predicted change was the decline or disappearance of brackish and marine species and the increase of freshwater species due to the expected decrease of salinity in the Baltic Sea.","PeriodicalId":39391,"journal":{"name":"Webbia","volume":"74 1","pages":"167 - 177"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00837792.2019.1607499","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46657216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Morphological features of oospores and gyrogonites of C. filiformis were studied based on 50 gyrogonites and 50 oospores taken from herbarium specimens collected from Lake Germantas (55.979279, 22.14266 WGS) at the depth of 2–3 m on 17 August 2000.
