Distribution ofLeprariain Latvia in Relation to Tree Substratum and Deciduous Forest Type

The genus Lepraria (Stereocaulaceae, lichenized Ascomycota) in Belarus

“…(12), wood (3), Populus tremula (3), Alnus glutinosa (2), Abies alba (1), Acer platanoides (1), Betula pendula (1), Pyrus communis (1) and Tilia cordata (1). The species inhabits mostly acidic substrata, as noted for Latvia by Mežaka et al (2012).…”

Distribution of Lichen Species of the Genus Lepraria in the Knyszyn Forest (Ne Poland) in Different Forest Plant Communities

“…Lepraria lobificans very rarely occupies roadside trees (Kukwa 2003(Kukwa , 2006. In Scandinavia this species was recorded mostly in the European protected habitat known as 'Fennoscandian hemiboreal natural old broad-leaved forests rich in epiphytes' (Mežaka et al 2012). In study area, L. lobificans prefers oak-hornbeam Tilio-Carpinetum.…”

“…Notes. Lepraria incana is a common species in Europe (Tønsberg 2002;Mežaka et al 2012, Kukwa 2006, occurring on many phorophytes (Kukwa 2006;Mežaka et al 2012). Mežaka et al (2012) found this species to prefer trees with relatively low bark pH.…”

“…Molecular studies by Ekman and Tønsberg (2002) confirmed that it belongs to the family Stereocaulaceae. The genus Lepraria has been examined for the British Isles (Laundon 1992;Orange 1995), Norway (Tønsberg 1992(Tønsberg , 2002, Finland (Lohtander 1994(Lohtander , 1995, Sweden (Lindblom 1995), Germany (Wirth & Heklau 1995), Estonia (Saag & Saag 1999), North America (Tønsberg 2004(Tønsberg , 2007, Australia , Belarus (Golubkov & Kukwa 2006;Tsurykau et al 2016), Italy (Zedda 2000, Baruffo et al 2006, South America (Flakus & Kukwa 2007, Bungartz et al 2013, Greenland ), South Korea (Joshi et al 2010) and Latvia (Mežaka et al 2012).…”

Estimation of life history in corticolous lichens by zonation

“…This species has previously been noted for its tolerance of coniferous bark ( Picea abies , Saag 2007) and for a positive bias towards Quercus , its incidence being correlated with depth of bark crevices (Mežaka et al . 2012). In our material, however, it also occurred on the very smooth bark of Abies .…”
