Floristic Similarities between the Lichen Flora of Both Sides of the Drake Passage: A Biogeographical Approach by Leopoldo G. Sancho, Ana Aramburu, Javier Etayo, Núria Beltrán-Sanz

“…This paper analyses the lichen flora of Navarino Island (Tierra del Fuego, Cape Horn Region, Chile), identifying species shared with the South Shetland Islands (Antarctic Peninsula). In this common flora, species are grouped by their biogeographic origin (Antarctic–subantarctic endemic, austral, bipolar, and cosmopolitan), their habitat on Navarino Island (coastal, forest, and alpine), their morphotype (crustaceous, foliaceous, fruticulose, and cladonioid), and the substrate from which they were collected (epiphytic, terricolous and humicolous, and saxicolous). …”
