Journal Title：Lichenologist

The Lichenologist is the premier scientific journal devoted exclusively to the study of lichens worldwide. As the leading forum for the dissemination of new concepts and topical reviews, The Lichenologist reaches more scientists concerned with the study of lichens and lichen symbionts than any other single journal. All aspects of lichenology are considered including systematics and phylogenetics; molecular biology; ultrastructure, anatomy and morphology; secondary chemistry, effects of pollutants and use as bioindicators; biogeography. In addition to standard length research papers, the journal also publishes Short Communications and Book Reviews. A monthly issue may occasionally be devoted to papers deriving from a symposium.
