Abstract Complete chromosomal-level assemblies of fungal genomes are rare. The intimate ecological symbioses and complex reproduction strategies utilized by fungi make highly contiguous, gapless genome assemblies particularly difficult. Here, we use long-read sequencing on the Oxford Nanopore Technology MinION platform to sequence and assemble the genome of Lepraria neglecta (Ascomycota, Lecanorales). In addition to eight contigs ascribable to chromosomes, six of which are assembled telomere-to-telomere, we discovered the presence of a complete MAT locus with two conserved MAT1-2 genes and a putative MAT1-1 pseudogene. The full genome assembly of a widespread, common species presents an opportunity for new insights into lichen reproduction while the presence of the mating-type locus in the genome of an asexual lichen raises fundamental questions about reproductive biology in fungi generally.

Certain lichen epiphytes are restricted to old-growth forest stands with long ‘ecological continuity’, explained by i) niche specialism and their dependence on microhabitats associated with old stands including veteran or senescent trees, and/or ii) dispersal limitation with probabilities of colonization being relaxed over extended time periods. ‘Calicioid’ species are among the most important old-growth indicators, yet they reproduce sexually via small spores that appear widely dispersed at ecological scales. This suggests that they should have a high level of niche specialism compared to lichen epiphytes in general, explaining their role as old-growth indicators. However, comparisons of niche specialism are challenging, and this study uses epiphytic, corticolous calicioid species as an appropriate test case. Having measured 20 variables that constrain the lichen epiphyte niche, these were collapsed into a ‘hypervolume’ representing the sampled environmental space available for occupancy by lichens in Scotland as a study system. It was then possible to examine the occupancy of this hypervolume by individual lichens (niche breadth), with the proportion/percent occupied used to estimate a niche specialism score. Consequently, epiphyte calicioid species are confirmed to have a high degree of niche specialism compared to lichen epiphytes in general, and compared to other old-growth indicators, with their niche position directed towards drier climates including locally sheltered microhabitats associated with old-growth forest structure.

Normandina acroglypta, as recently circumbscribed, is shown to comprise two species: N. acroglypta s. str. with subsquamulose marginal areoles, two unidentified terpenoids by thin-layer chromatography, and growing over rock; and N. chlorococca, with convex marginal areoles, zeorin or no substances detected by thin-layer chromatography, and growing over bark. Normandina dictyospora is newly described from the Falkland Islands and is characterized by relatively large, submuriform ascospores, and no substances detected.

Cladonia luteoalba shows a specific pattern in chemical variability. Its chemotype coincides with that of the associated Cladonia thalli. This has led to the formation of various hypotheses, but its true nature has never been clarified. We collected C. luteoalba in Central Europe and Norway. The chemotypes were detected by TLC and the mycobionts and photobionts were identified by Sanger sequencing of ITS rDNA. Mycobiont cultures were obtained and Illumina metabarcoding of the fungal ITS1 rDNA region was performed targeting minor mycobionts within the thalli. None of the methods supported C. luteoalba as a distinct Cladonia species. In phylogenetic analyses, it was placed in C. straminea and the C. coccifera agg., following the pattern in chemistry. No minor Cladonia were detected by metabarcoding or cultivation. Thus, C. luteoalba remains enigmatic as our data did not support its distinction as a separate Cladonia species.

A new species in the genus Phaeophyscia is described from Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan, supported by nrITS sequences, morphology and chemistry. The taxon is characterized by a green to greyish green thallus, usually narrow (0.5–2 mm), flat to convex lobes with abundant marginal soralia, black, dense small rhizines, small Physcia-type ascospores 18–22 × 8–10 μm and an absence of pycnidia. Differences from related species are discussed.

According to morphological and molecular data, a new species of Lecidea s. str., Lecidea glacierensis, is described from Xinjiang Province, China. It is distinctive due to its well-developed, regularly areolate to bullate thallus, and its habitat on calciferous rocks. This species was collected mostly in the area of Tianshan No.1 Glacier, which is located at an elevation of 3454 m and c. 118 km south-west of Urumqi and is considered to be one of the most important dryland glacier areas in Asia. An illustration and detailed description of the taxon are provided.

Abstract This study investigated the molecular, chemical and morphological variation in the Usnea pectinata aggregate using 42 specimens, 22 from Tanzania and 20 from São Tomé and Príncipe. A total of 31 sequences (13 ITS, 13 nuLSU and 5 RPB1) were generated. The results are presented in two phylogenies: first a three-markers ‘backbone’ phylogeny for the U. pectinata aggregate, where six distinct, strongly supported subclades indicate considerable genetic variation in the dataset; and second, an ITS phylogeny with 47 terminals along with a mapping of morphological and chemistry data. Several well-supported monophyletic clades were recovered in both phylogenies and these may well represent separate species in the complex referred to here as the U. pectinata aggregate. Three morphotypes characterized by axis pigmentation and four by branch shape were noted. Six chemotypes were observed.

In the past three years The Lichenologist has published c. 90 papers but only four of these were based on African material. Two of these were physiological papers co-authored by one of us (RB), whereas the other two were taxonomic and described new species from South Africa and Kenya. This contrasts dramatically with the 31 papers based on European material. Given the relative sizes of the continents and the diversity of habitats in Africa – from Mediterranean biomes in the north and far south, through deserts, tropical rainforests and savannah to temperate biomes in the south, and from sea level to alpine regions – this is an exceedingly poor return. Even within Africa, the distribution is uneven with three of the four papers being based on South African material, one on Kenyan, and none on western or northern material. The history of lichenology in Africa dates back at least as far as Linnaeus. Johann König, a pupil of Linnaeus, visited Cape Town on his way to India in 1768 and made several collections, including the type collection of Lichen chrysophtalmos (Linnaeus 1771), which we now know as Teloschistes chrysophthalmos [as chrysophthalmus]. However, the first collector to spend any time collecting lichens in southern Africa was Carl Pehr Thunberg between 1772–1775 who, although based in Cape Town, travelled extensively in the interior (Thunberg 1794). In the following 150 years, a number of local collectors became active, including Miss [Olivia?] Armstrong and Peter MacOwen, while European visitors such as Josef Brunnthaler and Friedrich Wilms made extensive expeditions into the interior. Their collections were, of course, taken back to Europe and deposited in European herbaria (LUND, G, W, ZT, etc) and many were described as new species by Johannes Müller (1885–1888), Edvard Vainio (e.g. Vainio 1901, 1926), Alexander Zahlbruckner (e.g. Zahlbruckner 1926, 1932, 1936) and especially Ernst Stizenberger in his Lichenaea Africana (Stizenberger 1890, 1891). These early collectors were primarily botanists who also collected other groups and more details of their activities can be found on the Biographical Database of Southern African Science (http:// www.s2a3.org.za/bio/Main.php). In the early 20th century Paul Andries van der Byl collected lichens extensively (van der Byl 1933a, b, 1935a, b), and in 1950 Ethel Doidge included lichens in her monumental compendium of southern African fungi (Doidge 1950). Subsequently, between 1956–1991, Ove Almborn issued six fascicles (150 collections) of an exsiccate, Lichenes Africani, and also published several other papers on African lichens (Almborn 1966, 1987, 1988, 1989). However, the first person based in South Africa to concentrate on the lichens of southern Africa was Franklin Brusse of SANBI, Pretoria who, between 1984–1994, published c. 40 papers describing taxonomic novelties from South Africa and Namibia.
