Keywords: Lichen, Goa, Bondia Wildlife Sanctuary, Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary
Abstract: Present paper deals with the preliminary observations on the lichen flora of Bondia (BWS) and Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife (BMWS) sanctuaries of Goa. Twenty-one species of lichens belonging to nine genera and eight families are reported. BWS is represented by seven species of lichens while BMWS has eighteen species. Both the sanctuaries are dominated by corticolous and foliicolous taxa represented by fifteen and six species, respectively. These sanctuaries are rich in graphidaceous and pyrenocarpous lichens. All the graphidaceous lichens were sterile. The reasons for their sterility and significance of foliicolous lichens in BMWS are also discussed.

Subject: Biological Memoirs
Keywords: Lichen, Meghamalai Wildlife Sanctuary, Rapid biodiversity assessment
Abstract: The paper deals with the diversity, distribution and ecology of 99 species of lichens from Meghamalai Wildlife Sanctuary, Kambam district of Tamil Nadu, India. The study area has the mosaic vegetation of evergreen moist deciduous, dry deciduous and scrub forests. Out of the total known lichen species, 74 are corticolours, 17 are saxicolous and one terricolous. The evergreen forest records the maximum number of 50 species, followed by 36 species in moist deciduous, 21 species in dry deciduous and 12 species in scrub forests. Among the localities, Mattuthulu records the occurrence of 39 species while Checkpost area is represented by only 6 species. The study provides the baseline information regarding lichen diversity in the region.

Keywords: Sharavathi river basin, crustose lichens
Abstract: The paper enumerates 143 species belonging to 50 genera and 26 families in semi-evergreen and deciduous forests of Sharavathi river basin. The species Bacidia subletorum (Schreber) Lettau, Cattilaria pulverea (Borrer) Lattau, Ochrolechia androgyna (Hoffm) Arnold, Ochrolechia subviridis (Hoeg) Erichsen, Pertusaria coronata (Ach) Th. Fr. and Xylographa vitiligo (Ach) Laundon, are recorded new to lichen flora of India. It is observed that the area is rich in crustose lichens represented by 108 species. The lichens collected were mostly corticolous. The lichen family Graphidaceae was most common in the studied area with 6 genera and 22 species and within the family Phaeographina is the most common genus with 10 species. The Sharavathi river basin is interesting site for common and dominant Pyrenocarpous and Thelotremataceous lichens. They key for identification of the species is givne. The study will be a base line information for the future biomonitoring studies in the area.

Keywords: Lichens, fallen twigs, Quercus spp, chopta, Uttarakhand
Abstract: The association of epiphytic lichens on the fallen twig of three common Quercus species viz Quercus semecarpifolia, Q. floribunda and Quercus leucotrichophora from the moist temperate forest of Chopta region, Rudraprayag District of Garhwal Himalayas has been discussed. Q semecarpifolia exhibits the maximum growth of lichens on its twigs represented by 29 species followed by Q. floribunda and Q. leucotrichophora with 16 and 12 species respectively. The twigs of diameter classes more than 4.1 cm in Q. semecarpifolia and Q. floribunda bear the maximum individuals of lichens represented by 148 and 71, while in Q. leucotrichophora the twigs 3.1-4.0 diameter class exhibit maximum 82 individuals. All the three oak species exhibit luxuriant growth of Parmelioid lichens on their twigs.

Abstract: Carl Linnaeus, the father of modern taxonomy provided a universal catalogue that described and classified living organisms. Linnaeus formulated a system of taxonomic code for treatment of each distinct organisms/species. Linnaeus used binomials, consistently, and for this reason. Latin/Greek names that naturalists used before Linnaeus are not usually considered valid under the rules of nomenclature. Linnaeus described and named hundreds of new plant species. He spent a great deal of time describing and naming new plant specimens that were sent to him around the world by many botanists, explorers and correspondents in Europe. America, and Africa. He also studied Indian specimens sent to him by the early European collectors in India. Linnaeus treatise Species Plantarum included more than 5000 species of plants, together with their definite descriptions and names. Since Linnaeus, the changes in taxonomic concept resulted in several new combinations in majority of the species. But some species maintained their original status as designated by Linnaeus. The Linnaean system was a pioneer in recognizing for the first time the non flowering plants as a major taxonomic category. He lumped together algae, lichens, fungi, mosses, byrophytes and ferns under Cryptogamia. Linnaeus believed that the number of species was constant, there were as many species at the beginning of the life as are present now. He failed to perceive speciation, including common descent of several species from an ancestral species. and continuous process of extinction and origin of new species.

Abstract: Different nutrient elements were analyzed in the lichen Cryptothecia punctulata collected from the arecanut trees which were exposed to several sprays of a fungicide Bordeaux mixture. The study revealed the accumulation of fungicidal elements such as Cu, Ca and S in higher concentration of 575.4, 10,000 and 21,000 ?g g-1, respectively.

Subject: Phytomorphology
Keywords: lichen pollution studies
Abstract: Large tracts of India are still virgin for lichenological exploration. There is plenty of scope to conduct monographic work on several genera, particularly the crustose forms. The revision of the many macrolichens after additional exploration would sure yield several new and interesting data. The impact of the human activity on both physical environment and flora and fauna can be well illustrated with the help of lichen pollution studies.
