“…(e.g., [69]). Furthermore, standardisation of growth rates and thallus size requires that multiple covariables, such as the effects of reproductive stage, substratum type and variation in microclimate also be taken into account [70,71]. Having achieved this sufficient level of control, observation of small-scale temperature effects on the freshwater lichen Dermatocarpon rivulorum, in a closely monitored stretch of subalpine watershed, has led Shivarov et al [72] to propose variability of thallus size and colony extension as a trait for monitoring the effects of climate change.…”

Community ecology has experienced a major transition, from a focus on patterns in taxonomic composition, to revealing the processes underlying community assembly through the analysis of species functional traits. The power of the functional trait approach is its generality, predictive capacity such as with respect to environmental change, and, through linkage of response and effect traits, the synthesis of community assembly with ecosystem function and services. Lichens are a potentially rich source of information about how traits govern community structure and function, thereby creating opportunity to better integrate lichens into ‘mainstream’ ecological studies, while lichen ecology and conservation can also benefit from using the trait approach as an investigative tool. This paper brings together a range of author perspectives to review the use of traits in lichenology, particularly with respect to European ecosystems from the Mediterranean to the Arctic-Alpine. It emphasizes the types of traits that lichenologists have used in their studies, both response and effect, the bundling of traits towards the evolution of life-history strategies, and the critical importance of scale (both spatial and temporal) in functional trait ecology.

Variation in the reproductive strategy of a lichenized fungus along a climatic gradient

This study highlights the applicability of the life history theory to fungi and to modes of reproduction other than sexual reproduction. Based on the intraspecific variation in the asexual reproductive strategy of a fungal organism with climatic factors, these findings expand the scope of life history theory predictions and increase our understanding of life history diversity and reproductive strategies across environments.
