“…He selected an epitype from material collected in Greenland and moved the taxon to the genus Corynetes Hazsl. Lloyd (1916) placed this taxon into the genus Geoglossum and in 1992 Korf and Petersen transferred the species to the genus Thuemenidium. Polyphyly of the genus Thuemenidium was for the first time shown by Ohenoja et al (2010) and subsequently confirmed by Hustad et al (2013).…”

The fungal genus Sabuloglossum (earth tongues) was originally described as a monotypic genus based on the species Geoglossum (Microglossum) arenarium. It typically occupies sandy coastal habitats and forms mycorrhizas withEmpetrum nigrum (Ericaceae). While studying material from central Europe (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, and Germany), ascomata morphologically very similar to S. arenarium were observed. They were ecologically limited to mid-altitudinal mountainous habitats and associated with Calluna vulgaris or Vaccinium sp. pl. (Ericaceae). The relationship to S. arenarium and related genera was evaluated using a combination of genetic (nrITS1-5.8S-ITS2 and the 28S nrLSU regions) and comparative morphological analysis. Macro-and micromorphological investigations revealed that mountain populations differ from typical S. arenarium in longer apical cells of paraphyses, more frequently septated ascospores, and the presence of inflated cells in the stipe squamules.

“…Very few studies have focused on geomorphological evolution and palaeogeography of coastal dunes in Cyprus. The majority of the studies were focused on the flora and fauna development on the dune formations without emphasizing to the geomorphological and palaeogeographical evolution [26][27][28]. In this context, the aim of this study is to investigate the dunes of the southern coast of Cyprus and furthermore to evaluate the usability of sand dune systems as a tool for the palaeogeographic reconstruction of similar settings in the area of the Eastern Mediterranean.…”

Two well-developed late Pleistocene dune fields have been identified on the western and eastern side of Akrotiri promontory (Lemesos, Cyprus). The dune fields extend immediately from the low level of their source beaches onto higher ground (>48 m amsl). Geomorphic observations supported by OSL dating and sedimentological data provided evidence of the dune development and for the palaeogeographic reconstruction of the area. Relative sea level changes and wave action during the upper Pleistocene and Holocene played an important role into the development of the palaeolandscape and affected the formation of the dunes. From the collected data the development of the western dune field started at 56.2 ± 5.5 ka when the relative sea level was at approximately −60 m and contributed to the development of the western tombolo of the area whereas the eastern dune field developed in the late Holocene, after the formation of the eastern spit that resulted in the formation of the Akrotiri Salt lake.
