Lichen Endozoochory by Snails
Endozoochory plays a prominent role for the dispersal of seed plants. However, for most other plant taxa it is not known whether this mode of dispersal occurs at all. Among those other taxa, lichens as symbiotic associations of algae and fungi are peculiar as their successful dispersal requires movement of propagules that leaves the symbiosis functional. However, the potential for endozoochorou...
متن کاملEndozoochory by slugs can increase bryophyte establishment and species richness
Herbivory can aff ect plant community composition and diversity by removing biomass and reducing light competition. Herbivory may particularly benefi t low growing species such as bryophytes, which are frequently limited by light competition. Gastropods are important herbivores of seed plants and cryptogams, furthermore, they can disperse propagules such as seeds and spores via endozoochory. Ho...
متن کاملPrerequisites for flying snails: external transport potential of aquatic snails by waterbirds
The widespread distributions of aquatic species often contrast with their limited ability to disperse by their own propulsion among wetlands isolated by land. Studies of the potential role of water birds as dispersal vectors have been focused mainly on internal transport (endozoochory). However, many anecdotal observations that small species adhere to flying birds also exist (ectozoochory). We ...
متن کاملThymoma accompanied by lichen planus.
Thymomas are associated at a high frequency with paraneoplastic autoimmune diseases. We treated a 64-year-old male with a thymoma, who also had lichen planus. The tumor was resected and diagnosed as thymoma, however, the symptoms associated with lichen planus did not subside and persisted. A preoperative examination showed an elevated serum level of squamous cell carcinoma antigen, which gradua...
متن کاملLichen planus induced by radiotherapy.
A 44-year-old woman presented at our department in 2003 with multiple pruritic papules spread over her trunk and extremities, and was diagnosed with LP. No mucosal lesions were observed. The diagnosis was histologically confirmed. Viral infection, contact with triggering substances, and use of medications were all ruled out. Treatment with sulfasalazine was begun and 5 months later, the lesions...
