Description
Corvo is a small and remote island in the western group of the archipelago of Azores, Portugal. The Island's lichen biodiversity was largely understudied, with only 17 species documented to date. This study reports 68 new records of lichen species on Corvo island, representing an addition of two classes, eight orders, 18 families and 43 genera. It includes three new records for the Azores: Acrocordia conoidea (Fr.) Körb., Chrysothrix flavovirens Tønsberg and Glaucomaria rupicola (L.) P.F. Cannon (syn. Lecanora rupicola (L.) Zahlbr.). Additionally, it confirms the presence of three species previously reported in the archipelago without specific locations: Lecidea phaeops Nyl., Peltigera canina (L.) Willd. and Pertusaria ficorum Zahlbr. This wealth of new lichen species records greatly enriches our understanding of biodiversity and sets a solid groundwork for upcoming ecological investigations in the Azores archipelago.

| Description du domaine d'étude / de recherche | Corvo is the northernmost, the smallest (17 km²) and the least populated island (384 people) in the Azores archipelago. The only urban centre, Vila do Corvo, is located on the southern tip of the island, roughly at sea level. The areas surrounding the village and extending through the eastern coast are mostly dedicated to agriculture while areas to the north of the village are mostly used as pastureland for dairy cattle. The north part of the island is dominated by the caldera of the volcano reaching 720 m in altitude and with several small lakes and islets at the bottom. The caldera slopes are covered in mixed vegetation and no native laurel forests remain. |
| Description du design | The collection of specimens was performed “ad hoc” in different locations and from different substrates on Corvo Island. |
Méthodes d'échantillonnage
Samples were collected "ad hoc", from different substrates and locations in Corvo island. In June 2009, sampling took place during one and a half days (approximately 4 hours total). In September 2023, sampling took 3 days (approximately 12 hours total).The most common substrate were basalt rocks and basalt walls, followed by Metrosideros excelsa trees.
| Etendue de l'étude | Samples were collected "ad hoc" by AFR, at eight locations in Corvo Island, ranging from 5 m to 560 m in altitude. Most specimens were collected in Vila Nova do Corvo and Miradouro do Caldeirão. The collections took place on two visits to Corvo Island, in June 2009 and September 2023. |
|---|---|
| Contrôle qualité | All specimens were examined using conventional techniques in the field, coupled with detailed photography to document key features. The specimens were identified by António Félix Rodrigues and André Aptroot contributed to the accurate determination of the less common species, based on detailed photography of the specimens. |
Description des étapes de la méthode:
- All specimens were thoroughly examined and identified to species level by comparison to works of reference (Schumm 2008, Schumm and Aptroot 2013, McMullin and Anderson 2014, Dobson 2018, Elias et al. 2022) and were further studied following the methodologies described by Schumm (2008) and Schumm and Aptroot (2013) for lichens in the Azores, Madeira and Canary Islands. The species nomenclature follows Index Fungorum (https://www.indexfungorum.org), Mycobank (https://www.mycobank.org/) or recently published literature (e.g. several chapters of Lichens of Great Britain and Ireland 3rd edition (https://britishlichensociety.org.uk/identification/lgbi3)). Distribution data was sourced from multiple reliable sources, including the checklist of the Azores (Aptroot et al. 2010) and the AZORESBIOPORTAL (https://azoresbioportal.uac.pt/).
