The 46 pages that link to Lichen, each with the reason it gives.

• MyceliumRelated: Fungal filaments form much of the lichen body, though its organization differs from free-living mycelium.

• Arctic tundraRelated: Many lichens tolerate cold and provide forage in otherwise sparse tundra vegetation.

• HyphaRelated: Fungal hyphae form much of the lichen body and shelter its photosynthetic partner.

• FungusRelated: Lichens reveal how fungi can build lasting partnerships with organisms that make sugars.

• TundraRelated: Lichens are among the common low-growing organisms adapted to tundra conditions.

• AscomycotaRelated: Most lichen-forming fungi belong to Ascomycota.

• Desiccation toleranceRelated: Drying is routine for lichens; they are the ecological champions of repeated wet-dry cycles.

• MycologyRelated: Lichens reveal how fungal partnerships enable life in diverse habitats.

• Reindeer herdingRelated: Ground and tree lichens are important winter forage in many herding regions.

• ReindeerRelated: Ground lichens are a major winter food for reindeer in many regions.

• AlgaeRelated: Some algae live with fungi in lichens, extending photosynthesis beyond aquatic habitats.

• HoldfastRelated: Lichens attach to rock or bark with fungal structures rather than algal holdfasts.

• CaribouRelated: Ground lichens are a major winter food for many caribou.

• GravestoneRelated: Lichen colonizes exposed stone and can complicate gravestone preservation.

• Polar desertRelated: Lichens can grow on exposed rock where vascular plants cannot survive.

• Peppered mothRelated: Lichen-covered bark provided a pale background against which typical moths were camouflaged.

• ArchaeognathaRelated: Lichens can be part of the surface food grazed by archaeognathans.

• Dall sheepRelated: Lichens are among the winter foods Dall sheep can reach when grasses are scarce.

• Evolution of fungiRelated: Lichenization enabled fungi to inhabit exposed, nutrient-poor environments.

• Fungal StructuresRelated: Lichen bodies combine fungal structures with those of a photosynthetic partner.
