High diversity of lichens at 84°S, Queen Maud Mountains, suggests preglacial survival of species in the Ross Sea region, Antarctica
Investigations of lichens collected in 1959/1960, 1963/1964 and 2003 from near the Beardmore Glacier in the southern Ross Sea region (84 S) have more than doubled the number of known lichen species in the area to around 30. The ranges of 15 species have been extended to 84° S. A lichen diversity hot...
