My article is presenting a short #macro series of the #lichen #Parmelia #sulcata, which I #photographed in the #urban #forest area #Jungfernheide in #Berlin in March 2026, close to a wetland area, the lake Flughafensee.

The season changed last night - (if that's even still a consistent thing) - a chill in the air - here's a cool bit of #bark and some of its #resident #lichens #trees #walk #observations around me #photography

Before lichens he ran a range of websites under the biology.ie banner: revision material for school exams; Web 2.0 mapping to collect phrenology, roadkill etc. He was a pioneer in using the Internet for citizen science.

I found him a kind, thoughtful, interesting companion on the field. I learnt much from him. His excitement when we saw a lizard in a wall in Glen Tilt, didn't stop him from carefully getting a good photo.

Dit frietzakbekermos trok mijn aandacht toen ik door de duinen wandelde. Sommige bekertjes groeien bovenop andere bekertjes. Dat zag ik nog niet vaak in zo'n groot aantal. Ik vraag me af of dat iets met de vorst van de dagen voordien te maken heeft. (Foto 10/2/2026)

Went on a ridge walk yesterday - the fall colors are out. Giant mushroom.. maybe a boletus.

By the side, there were #stumps of several felled #trees which had been left to #rot and #decay. They make a #habitat for #ferns, #lichens and #fungi.

Today I learned that lichens have been discovered as not just two symbiotic species, as previously thought, but THREE! Each lichen is two species of fungi and one species of algae!

In 1874, Edmund Willson wrote,

"Wherever this man went to fill a #Pulpit, lovers of #Nature gravitated to him. [They went along] to the #Fields, steep #Hills, and miry #Swamps.

His #Animated talk & kindling eyes as he described the #Graces of #Ferns and the #Glories of #Grasses & #Lichens quickened their #Love of #Beauty.

He had an ear for the #Mysteries of the #Sea, #Forests, [and] #Moss-coated #Rocks."

Another #introduction for the latest wave!

I am a professor at Arizona State University. My lab studies host-beneficial #microbial infections in #eukaryotic cells. We are interested in how these infections are similar to and different from #pathogens, #mitochondria, and #plastids. We use #EvolutionaryBiology, #CellBiology, #genomics, #biochemistry, and #imaging as tools, and mostly study #bacteria that infect #insect cells but also work in other cool systems such as #plants and #lichens.
