Abstract:Bactrospora dryinais an epiphytic lichen-forming fungus specifically related to old-growth floodplain forests, which have dramatically declined in Europe over the past centuries. In order to promote conservation management of such forest remnants, we aimed to study population genetics of this rare and threatened lichen. The newly developed 16 microsatellite markers are specific for the mycobiont ofB. dryinaand reliably amplify either single fruiting bodies or a sterile thallus. This allows the use of these mar… Show more
