“…Most authors adopt the proposal of Ref. [ 50 ], using their classification in various regions of Mediterranean influence [ 48 , 51 , 115 , 116 , 117 ]. However, we are not aware of previous studies that have used this methodology to study the specificity of epiphytic lichens and their phorophytes.…”

The effects of host tree identity on epiphyte lichen communities are a controversial issue, as the results obtained in different forest environments studied are not consistent. We investigated the host preferences for lichens in the laurel forest of Macaronesia. For this purpose, we analyzed the lichen communities growing on the four most common trees (Erica canariensis Rivas-Mart., M. Osorio and Wildpret, Morella faya (Aiton) Wilbur, Laurus novoca-nariensis Rivas-Mart., Lousa, Fern. Prieto, E. Días, J.C. Costa and C. Aguiar, and Ilex canariensis Poir. in Lamarck) in the laurel forest of the Canary Islands. The diversity, richness, and lichen composition showed a repetitive and common pattern with the functional traits studied. Although the existence of specificity with respect to the phorophyte species was not demonstrated, there was a clear affinity of the epiphytic lichens to the physico-chemical features of the bark (texture and pH), canopy architecture, foliar characteristics, etc. Our results highlight the importance of the natural diversity of tree species in the laurel forest. Due to the diversity and uniqueness of the lichen species that support each of the phorophytes, this fact should be taken into account in landscape protection and restoration actions, especially in those islands where the forest is highly fragmented.

“…Studies on lichens and lichenicol fungi in our country increased in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. These studies are mostly floristic studies covering certain regions (Aslan et al 2002;Yazıcı et al 2008;Öztürk & Güvenç 2010;Çobanoğlu et al 2013;Kocakaya et al 2014;Koç et al 2017;Yavuz & Çobanoğlu 2018;Oran 2021). As a result of increasing lichen studies in recent years, more than 100 lichen and lichenicolous fungus species have been identified in our country by researchers (John et al 2020).…”

Ramalina digitellata is reported for the first time from Türkiye. Ecological and distribution information and photos of the species were given. Ramalina digitellata can be easily distinguished from other species belonging to the Ramalina genus due to the fact that the apical parts of the branches have finger-like protrusions. Besides the morphological and anatomical features, the phylogenetic tree obtained by comparing the sequence analyzes of the ITS regions was also given. The phylogenetic tree is consistent with the morphological and anatomical results.

Our field research in Van province during 2008–2009 resulted in collection of 3766 lichen samples from 55 sites, and identification of 229 lichen taxa, including two subspecies and three varieties, in 108 genera of Ascomycota. We found 182 new records for Van province. These include four new records for Turkey, namely Bibbya ruginosa, Buellia subalbula, Caloplaca tenuatula and Rimularia gibbosa. Lists of species and collection sites are provided. Acarospora (11 species), Lecidea (9 species), Verrucaria (8 species), Caloplaca, Physcia and Rinodina (7 species for each), and Aspicilia, Lecanora and Polyozosia (6 species for each) are the genera richest in species in the study area. Of the identified species, 163 are crustose, 43 are foliose, 7 are fruticose, 13 are squamulose and 3 are leprose. 101 species colonise on calcareous rocks, 86 on siliceous rocks, 23 on various trees (epiphytic), 10 on soil, 12 on moss and 17 on other lichens (lichenicolous). Sites 16, 19 are the richest with 55 identified taxa, followed by sites 52, 34, and 6 with 51, 49 and 44 taxa, respectively. The poorest sites are 40 and 42 with 6 identified taxa, followed by sites 5, 7, and 21 with 8, 8, and 9 taxa, respectively.
