Pcr Primers for the Amplification of Mitochondrial Small Subunit Ribosomal DNA of Lichen-forming Ascomycetes

Stefan Zoller, Christoph Scheidegger, Christoph Sperisen · 1 Sep 1999

Abstract Four primers for the amplification of mitochondrial DNA of lichenforming ascomycetes are presented. The primers match the conserved regions U2, U4, and U6, respectively, of mitochondrial small subunit (SSU) ribosomal DNA (rDNA). Polymerase chain reaction using different combinations of the primers produced single amplification products from DNA of eight lichen-forming fungal species but did…

High performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC), an improved technique for screening lichen substances

Ulf Arup, Stefan Ekman, Louise Lindblom et al. · 1 Jan 1993

Abstract High performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) is a method that can be used for screening lichen substances. It is as simple to use as standard TLC, but has many advantages: It is more sensitive, it is possible to run more samples in a shorter period of time, and the amount of solvent used is…

Long-Term Monitoring in the Netherlands Suggests that Lichens Respond to Global Warming

C. M. van Herk, André Aptroot, H.F. van Dobben · 1 Mar 2002

Abstract There is evidence to suggest that part of the recent changes in the lichen flora of the Netherlands is attributable to an increase in temperature. Changes which have occurred over the last 22 years were studied in detail, and were subjected to a statistical treatment by comparing the change of species to their latitudinal…

Rain, dew, and humid air as drivers of morphology, function and spatial distribution in epiphytic lichens

Yngvar Gauslaa · 1 Jan 2014

Abstract This review is a first attempt to combine and compare spatial distribution of the three main water sources, rain, dew and humid air, with water-related traits of mainly epiphytic macrolichens in a conceptual and functional model. By comparing climatic and lichenological knowledge, various effects of dewfall, rainfall and humid air on epiphytic lichen morphology…

The Lichenologist template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the The Lichenologist format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the The Lichenologist template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Cambridge University Press format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does The Lichenologist use?
The Lichenologist uses Numbered references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, and C. Lee, A representative article title, The Lichenologist 12 (2023) 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to The Lichenologist?
No. DocuGuru generates the null LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Cambridge University Press-ready The Lichenologist document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the The Lichenologist template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the The Lichenologist format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes The Lichenologist?
The Lichenologist is a multidisciplinary journal published by Cambridge University Press. DocuGuru's The Lichenologist template matches Cambridge University Press's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready The Lichenologist PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official The Lichenologist template (the null class) that is ready to submit to Cambridge University Press, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the The Lichenologist template cost?
You can start writing in the The Lichenologist template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready The Lichenologist PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
