Usnic acid, as a biotic factor, changes the ploidy level in mosses
Lichens and mosses often share the same environmental conditions where they compete for substrate and other essential factors. Lichens use secondary metabolites as allelochemicals to repel surrounding plants and potential rivals. In mosses, endoreduplication leads to the occurrence of various ploidy levels in the same individual and has been suggested as an adaptation to abiotic stresses. Here,...
متن کاملLONG TERM STUDY OF Cs-137 CONCENTRATIONS IN LICHENS AND MOSSES
Several studies carried out after the Chernobyl nuclear accident in 1986 showed that lichens and mosses are suitable bioindicators of the fall-out, given their long life expectancy. Cs-137 activities were measured in different mosses, epigeic and epiphytic lichens, collected from three sampling sites from Koppl, in the Salzburg province and the effective and biological half-time of Cs-137 were ...
متن کاملLichens and mosses as polonium and uranium biomonitors on Sobieszewo Island
In the study the activities of polonium 210Po and uranium 234U, 238U radionuclides in moss and lichen samples were determined using the alpha spectrometry. Different lichens and mosses were collected around the Sobieszewo Island (northern Poland) and investigated for potential use as biomonitors for 210Po and 238U deposition. Mosses and lichens have a high efficiency in capturing 210Po and 238U...
متن کاملSpecies of Lissothrips and Williamsiella from mosses and lichens in Australia and New Zealand (Thysanoptera, Phlaeothripinae).
Species of Lissothrips and Williamsiella live in association with mosses and lichens. Their gut contents are commonly blue-green, suggesting that they possibly feed on blue-green algae. Three species of Lissothrips are known from New Zealand, of which two are here recorded from Australia together with six new species. Williamsiella is recorded from Australia for the first time, with one new spe...
