Article Synopsis
- - This study focuses on the relationships between crustose and lichenicolous lichens on gypsum biocrusts, highlighting interactions among specific species like Acarospora and Diploschistes during their growth stages.
- - Researchers used various sequencing methods to analyze microalgal diversity and mycobiont phylogenetics, observing that different microalgal lineages coexist within lichen structures.
- - Findings suggest that lichenicolous lichens obtain their microalgae either by maintaining their host's algal communities or through algal switching, with minimal influence from mineral elements like Fe and Sr on algal diversity.
