DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16441
Abstract: PREMISE Southern Africa is a biodiversity hotspot rich in endemic plants and lichen-forming fungi. However, species-level data about lichen photobionts in this region are minimal. We focused on Trebouxia (Chlorophyta), the most common lichen photobiont,… read more here.

Extracting gradients from community data with multiple stressors and empty plots: A case study and simulations
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Ecosphere"
DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.70394
Abstract: Ecological community data are used to infer levels of environmental stressors; for example, epiphytic lichen communities can be used to estimate levels of air pollutants. If stressors are so severe that the community of interest… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00300-020-02685-4
Abstract: Herbivores may have extensive top-down effects in open grazing ecosystems, generating vegetation changes by grazing and trampling. Trampling effects are understudied, but may be a major ecological factor. In cold alpine-Arctic ecosystems grazing and trampling… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00300-021-02839-y
Abstract: Lichens produce various carbon-based secondary compounds (CBSCs) in response to abiotic conditions and herbivory. Although lichen CBSCs have received considerable attention with regard to responses to UV-B exposure, very little is known about intra-specific variation… read more here.
