Abstract
This study is a survey of corticolous lichens in the Hundred Islands, Philippines noting their diversity and morpho-anatomical adaptive features. There were only six islands visited due to accessibility and safety reasons. There are at least thirty-two identified species of lichens; majority is crustose dominated by Graphidaceae lichens followed by pyrenolichens in terms of diversity. Morpho-anatomical features considered to be adaptive include crustose and narrow-lobed foliose growth forms, homiomerous thallus organization, thick upper cortex, and presence of pruina in the cortical or medullary layers. KEYWORDS : Hundred islands; epiphytic lichens; adaptive features
期刊介绍：
The Philippine Journal of Systematic Biology (Print ISSN: 1908-6865; Online ISSN: 2508-0342) is an annual, peer-reviewed journal in English that publishes high quality reports of original research and reviews in the field of Taxonomy & Systematics, Ecology and Conservation Biology. The PJSB is a CHED recognized journal under CHED CMO 50 series of 2017. It is also included in the Clavariate Analysis (formerly a subsidiary of Thomson Reuters) Master Journal List under Zoological Record, BIOSIS Previews and Biological Abstracts.The PJSB is the official publication of the Association of Systematic Biologists of the Philippines (SEC Registration: Association of Philippine Taxonomists, Inc.). The organization financially supports the journal and all its endeavors. The journal aims to build up quality information on animal, plant and microbial diversity in the Philippines. Articles dealing with original research or reviews in Zoological, Botanical or Microbial Systematics, Ecology and Conservation Biology are welcome. Authors are advised to consult a recent issue of PJSB for the current format and style. All manuscripts are reviewed by at least two qualified referees.
