Flooded jellyskin (Leptogium rivulare) COSEWIC assessment and status report: chapter 13

Acknowledgements

I wish to acknowledge the invaluable help of Dr. I.M. Brodo for examining the existing collections in the National Herbarium at the Canadian Museum of Nature with me, reviewing my own collections in the field and in the laboratory, directing me to the relevant literature, and for discussing the possible biology of the species with me.

I also thank David Cornell for alerting me to the Darling Township locality, by bringing a sample of the lichen to my door; and Barbara Gaertner for general assistance in the field. Sarah Coulber invited me to search her Bramble Hill Farm ravine. Other landowners gave me general permission to search for lichens on their lands. Ian Huggett searched the Lake Temagami area for suitable habitat.

Being familiar with this species, both Irwin Brodo and Barbara Gaertner have searched additional sites for Leptogium rivulare, giving Robert Lee greater confidence in his own assessment of its rarity.

Funding for the preparation of this status report was provided by the Canadian Wildlife Service, Environment Canada.
