Symbiosis constraints: Strong mycobiont control limits nutrient response in lichens
Abstract Symbioses such as lichens are potentially threatened by drastic environmental changes. We used the lichen Peltigera aphthosa—a symbiosis between a fungus (mycobiont), a green alga (Coccomyxa sp.), and N2‐fixing cyanobacteria (Nostoc sp.)—as a model organism to assess the effects of environm...
