Cora Terrestris
''Cora terrestris'' is a species of basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae. Found in Costa Rica, it was formally described as a new species in 2016 by Manuela Dal Forno, José Luis Chaves, and Robert Lücking. The specific epithet ''terrestris'' refers to its terrestrial growth. The lichen occurs in the Cordillera de Talamanca of Costa Rica, where it grows on the ground in páramo bogs and in montane Montane ecosystems are found on the slopes of mountains.

Robert Lücking
Robert Lücking (born 1964) is a German lichenologist, known for his extensive research on foliicolous lichens (lichens that live on leaves) and his significant contributions to the taxonomy, ecology, and biodiversity of fungi and lichens. He earned his master's and PhD from the University of Ulm, focusing on foliicolous lichens. He has received numerous awards for his work, including the Mason E. Hale Award for his doctoral thesis, the Augustin Pyramus de Candolle prize for his monograph, and the Tuckerman Award twice for his publications in the scientific journal '' The Bryologist''. Since 2015, Lücking has been serving as the curator of lichens, fungi, and bryophytes at the Berlin Botanical Garden and Botanical Museum, overseeing a vast scientific collection and contributing to major advancements in molecular phylogenetics in lichenology. Lücking has authored or co-authored the description of more than 1000 taxa, making him one of the most prolific modern lichenologists. ...

Cora Casasolana
''Cora casasolana'' is a species of basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae. Found in Mexico, it was formally described as a new species in 2016 by Bibiana Moncada, Rosa Emilia Pérez, and Robert Lücking. It is only known to occur in the type locality in Santiago Comaltepec, Oaxaca, where it grows on the ground between plants. Taxonomy ''Cora casasolana'' is a basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae (order Agaricales). Bibiana Moncada, Ramón-Enrique Pérez and Robert Lücking scientifically described it in 2016 from material collected on Cerro Pelón, Oaxaca, Mexico. The epithet honours José Arturo Casasola González, an Oaxacan entomologist who assisted the fieldwork. Internal transcribed spacer sequence data confirm that the species belongs to the same broad clade as the Andean species '' C. caliginosa'' and '' C. pichinchensis'', yet each occupies a separate branch, supporting their recognition as distinct species.

Taxa Named By Robert Lücking
In biology, a taxon (back-formation from ''taxonomy''; : taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit. Although neither is required, a taxon is usually known by a particular name and given a particular ranking, especially if and when it is accepted or becomes established. It is very common, however, for taxonomists to remain at odds over what belongs to a taxon and the criteria used for inclusion, especially in the context of rank-based (" Linnaean") nomenclature (much less so under phylogenetic nomenclature). If a taxon is given a formal scientific name, its use is then governed by one of the nomenclature codes specifying which scientific name is correct for a particular grouping. Initial attempts at classifying and ordering organisms (plants and animals) were presumably set forth in prehistoric times by hunter-gatherers, as suggested by the fairly sophisticated folk taxonomies. Much later, Aristotle, and later still ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cora Pichinchensis
''Cora pichinchensis'' is a species of basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae. Found in Ecuador, it was formally described as a new species in 2016 by Telma Paredes, Harald Jonitz, and Manuela Dal Forno.

Cora Caliginosa
''Cora caliginosa'' is a species of basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae. Found in Peru, it was formally described as a new species in 2016 by María Holgado-Rojas, Eimy Rivas-Plata, and Gary Perlmutter. It is only known to occur near the type locality near Machu Picchu, where it grows on the ground close to a disturbed rainforest. Taxonomy ''Cora caliginosa'' is a basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae (order Agaricales). It was described in 2016 by Johana Holgado, Jesús Rivas Plata, and Steven Perlmutter from material collected near Piscacucho, close to Machu Picchu in the Peruvian Andes. The epithet, from the Latin ("dull, somber, cloudy"), refers to the lichen's dark olive-grey thallus when fresh. ITS sequence data place the species in the same subclade as the Mexican '' C. casasolana'' and the Ecuadorian '' C. pichinchensis'', but each taxon occupies a separate branch, reinforcing the distinctiveness of ''C. caliginosa''.

Basidiolichen
Basidiolichens are lichenized members of the Division (taxonomy), division Basidiomycota within the subkingdom Dikarya of the Kingdom (biology), kingdom Fungus, Fungi. They form a diverse yet much smaller group of lichens than the far more common ascolichens of the division Ascomycota. Owing to how few described species there are, basidiolichens are generally considered to be poorly researched, and few studies that characterize their natural products exist. Biogeography, Biogeographically, basidiolichen species may be distributed in a Cosmopolitan distribution, cosmopolitan manner or more regionally, ranging from arctic and Montane ecosystems, montane habitats to more Temperate climate, temperate and Tropics, tropical environments. Morphology (biology), Morphologically, basidiocarp (Sporocarp (fungus), fruiting body) and thallus (vegetative tissue) structures may vary widely within and between basidiolichen Genus, genera.

Montane Ecosystems
Montane ecosystems are found on the slopes of mountains. The alpine climate in these regions strongly affects the ecosystem because temperatures lapse rate, fall as elevation increases, causing the ecosystem to stratify. This stratification is a crucial factor in shaping plant community, biodiversity, metabolic processes and ecosystem dynamics for montane ecosystems. Dense montane forests are common at moderate elevations, due to moderate temperatures and high rainfall. At higher elevations, the climate is harsher, with lower temperatures and higher winds, preventing the growth of trees and causing the plant community to transition to montane grasslands and shrublands or alpine tundra. Due to the unique climate conditions of montane ecosystems, they contain increased numbers of endemic species. Montane ecosystems also exhibit variation in ecosystem services, which include carbon storage and water supply. Life zones As elevation increases, the alpine climate, climate becomes co ...
