Anaptychia roemerioides is de...

Lichen communities in many National Parks are diverse and perform essential but often poorly understood ecological roles. However, lichen diversity in many National Parks is poorly characterized.

Just as the name is an aggregation (of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia), so is the land an aggregation of floras and faunas, of political units and cultures, of times...

Parmotrema perforatum and its relatives form a morphologically distinctive group of species, most of which are common and endemic to eastern North America. Species delimitation in this ecologically important group was the subject of extensive inquiry before the advent of molecular systematics and computationally intensive niche modeling. As part of...
