Nadvornikia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Graphidaceae.[1] Species in the genus are corticolous (bark-dwelling) and crustose.
Taxonomy
The genus was circumscribed in 1984 by lichenologist Leif Tibell, with N. hawaiensis assigned as the type species. Nadvornikia is a replacement name for Stephanophoron, which was published illegitimately by Czech lichenologist Josef Nádvorník in 1942 (because the fungal genus Stephanophorus already occupied that name).[2] The genus name pays tribute to Nádvorník (1906–1977), the first to recognize the type species of this genus as representing a distinct evolutionary lineage, separate from other similar lichens.[3]
Description
Nadvornikia species have a continuous, epiperidermal thallus. The surface of the thallus can be smooth or uneven, and no prothallus is present. The [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]], which is absent or loosely arranged, features an irregular [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] with Trentepohlia green algal cells and calcium oxalate crystals. The medulla is endoperidermal (located within the [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]]. Vegetative propagules in Nadvornikia lichens may be absent or present as [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]]a. The [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] are rounded and can be either immersed or sessile, with or without a [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]]. The [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] may be entire or fissured, while the [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] is always entire. The [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] is [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] and entire, while the [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] is absent. The [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] is also prosoplectenchymatous and hyaline. The hymenium is hyaline and clear, while the [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] can be thin or indistinct.[4]
The [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] are unbranched and have smooth tips, with no [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] present. The asci are fusiform, and each contains eight [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]]. These ascospores can be either hyaline or dark brown, 1-septate to somewhat [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]], [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]], and non-amyloid. [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] have not been observed in Nadvornikia lichens.[4]
The secondary chemistry of Nadvornikia lichens includes stictic acid and various related lichen substances.[4]
