Women have long been underrepresented in the sciences, and their contributions are often overlooked. Previous work has demonstrated a significant productivity gap between men and women when investigating vascular plant authorities and the naming of plant taxa. No study has directly investigated gender inequity, as depicted through authority identity, in the field of lichenology. Our research goal was to describe patterns in gender identity and country of origin for authors of North American lichens. We compiled and analyzed information from the North American Lichen Checklist (including U.S.A. and Canada but not Mexico), independent research, and a gender API to identify the full name, suspected gender, birth year, and country of origin of 889 authors (i.e., people listed as authorities of North American lichen taxa). Of the total 4,895 unique lichen taxa in North America, only 3.2% species were named by a woman. Even standardized by co-authors, men authors contributed significantly more than women authors in this field. We also noted that most authors originated from Europe or the United States. This work suggests that the field of lichenology could provide more support systems for American or Canadian women to contribute naming of new taxa or combinations. While our work focused only on authoring new species as a contribution, we recognize that women may be contributing in other notable ways to lichenology in North America.","PeriodicalId":55319,"journal":{"name":"Bryologist","volume":"126 1","pages":"205 - 216"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41530701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Photosynthetic organisms possess a great diversity of mechanisms to protect themselves from the potentially stressful effects of high PAR (photosynthetically active radiation). A distinctive response to longer term exposure to high levels of PAR in lichens is the synthesis of a variety of substances in the upper cortex that can protect photobionts from photoinhibition. In the present study, lichen substances were removed harmlessly from lichens using the “acetone rinsing” method. This enabled us to compare the importance of the substances in photoprotection in sun and shade collections of four species of Afromontane lichens. While all species normally grow in more exposed microhabitats, it is easy to make collections of more shaded thalli. Using chlorophyll fluorescence, we show that collections of lichens from sunny microhabitats have higher tolerance to photoinhibition than those from shaded locations. Furthermore, removal of lichen substances increases sensitivity to photoinhibition, suggesting that even although colorless, they have a role in protecting against high PAR. Sensitivity was increased much more in sun than shade collections, implying that substances play a greater role in photoprotection in lichens from sunny microhabitats. Nevertheless, following the removal of lichen substances, most sun collections still possess higher tolerance to photoinhibition than shade collections. Therefore, the additional tolerance of sun collections appears derive from a combination of both lichen substances and other, probably more biochemical tolerance mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":55319,"journal":{"name":"Bryologist","volume":"126 1","pages":"180 - 190"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47748572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two competing predictions regarding highly dispersible clonal plants, such as bryophytes, expect levels of genetic diversity to either increase or decrease over time following a disturbance that opens habitat for colonization. Following up on previous research that found higher levels of genetic variation in bryophytes from relatively undisturbed forest sites, we examined unisexual, haploid species of a moss (Plagiomnium ciliare), a leafy liverwort (Porella platyphylloidea), and a thalloid liverwort (Conocephalum conicum sensu lato) from the Mountains, Piedmont, and Coastal Plain of the southeastern United States. In terms of time since last disturbance, sites were ranked Mountains > Piedmont > Coastal Plain. Measures of genetic variation, including percentage of loci polymorphic, mean number of alleles per locus, mean expected heterozygosity, and number of multilocus genotypes, all fit the prediction that genetic diversity should increase over time. We also examined several components of reproductive success expected to influence levels of genetic variation, including colony size, colony mixing, sex expression, phenotypic sex ratio, and sporophyte production (percentage of females producing sporophytes). Most, but not all, of our predictions for populations of varying time since last disturbance were fulfilled, although other ecological differences related to soil, climate, and vegetation are also likely to influence reproductive success.","PeriodicalId":55319,"journal":{"name":"Bryologist","volume":"126 1","pages":"129 - 138"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45910277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Etayo","doi":"10.1639/0007-2745-126.1.164","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1639/0007-2745-126.1.164","url":null,"abstract":"This is the first volume of a worldwide ‘‘Flora of Lichenicolous Fungi,’’ with focus on Basidiomycota, a group that is exceptionally familiar to Paul Diederich, the first author of this work. A total of 197 strictly lichenicolous or frequently licheninhabiting species are accepted, and 13 additional taxa are introduced, but without formal names. Species that are opportunistically found on lichens and those that are only known from their yeast stage are excluded. Who would have imagined 30 years ago that 210 species of fungi with basidia were able to colonize lichens? Furthermore, the authors estimate that the global diversity of lichenicolous basidiomycetes must be around five times more than what is known today. The first lichenicolous basidiomycete described by Diederich (1986) was Tremella lichenicola (on Violella fucata) and two years later T. coppinsii on Platismatia (Diederich & Marson 1988). Diederich & Christiansen (1994) demonstrated that the pinkish galls called Biatoropsis usnearum Räsänen were basidiomata of a heterobasidiomycete. Shortly after, Paul published his first major work, ‘‘The Lichenicolous Heterobasidiomycetes’’ (Diederich 1996), in which he (himself or with colleagues) described 41 new taxa and six other, unnamed species. Out of these six, only Tremella sp. 2 on Lecanora rimicola remains unnamed in the Flora now published. Since then, several new species (22) were described by Paul and collaborators in different papers, and the present book is the most complete treatment of lichenicolous Basidiomycota up to date. His co-authors, Ana Millanes, Mats Wedin and James Lawrey, are well known by their various studies on lichens and lichenicolous fungi, including phylogenetic analyses and chemical interaction between lichens and lichenicolous fungi (Lawrey & Diederich 2003; Lawrey et al. 2016; Millanes et at. 2016, 2021). As such, the four authors constitute an ideal team to tackle this group of fungi from diverse angles. In this exhaustive book, three new genera are described: Parmeliicida (Agaricomycetes, Cantharellales), Zyzygomyces (Tremellomycetes, Filobasidiales), previously referred to as Syzygospora in Diederich (1996), and Kriegeriopsis (Microbotryomycetes). Furthermore, no less than 74 new species are introduced in the genera Biatoropsis (6), Cyphobasidium (7), Kriegeriopsis (1), Parmeliicida (1), Syzygospora (1), Tremella (52), and Zyzygomyces (6), accompanied by one new subspecies and three new combinations. Difficult species complexes are resolved into several species, such as Biatoropsis usnearum s.l. (six new species), Syzygospora physciacearum s.l. (four new species in Zyzygomyces), Tremella parmeliarum s.l. (six new species), and T. pertusariae s.l. (four new species). Diederich and colleagues describe several species of Biatoropsis and Tremella that produce conidia in the basidia, with epibasidia acting as diaspores or with a layer of conidiogenous cells producing clamped conidia.

Until a few years ago, Sphagnum magellanicum was understood to be a single widespread species with an intercontinental range. Recent work by Norwegian sphagnologists showed that S. magellanicum s.str. is restricted to southern South America and plants known as S. magellanicum in Europe should be referred to S. divinum and S. medium. In a separate publication, we showed that there are two additional major clades in eastern North America, and we describe them herein as S. diabolicum and S. magniae. These species are very hard to distinguish morphologically (and also from S. divinum and S. medium) but are distinct phylogenetically, ecologically and geographically, and are important units of biodiversity. Morphological variation within and between species is photographically documented.","PeriodicalId":55319,"journal":{"name":"Bryologist","volume":"126 1","pages":"69 - 89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42775578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
