Abstract
Abstract A description is provided for Arthonia ilicina , which is frequently found on living and dead bark of smooth-barked trees, usually but perhaps not invariably in regions with a moist climate. Some information on its associated organisms and substrata, habitat, dispersal and transmission, and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Africa (South Africa), North America (Canada (British Columbia, Newfoundland), USA (Alaska, California, Florida, Louisiana, Minnesota, Oregon, Washington)), South America (Argentina, Ecuador, Chile), Asia (Taiwan), Atlantic Ocean (Portugal (Azores, Madeira), Spain (Canary Islands)), Australasia (Australia (New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, Western Australia)), Caribbean (Cuba), Europe (Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Ukraine, UK)). This species is routinely used in the British Isles as an indicator when making ecological assessments, and specifically as an indicator of ecological continuity, particularly in the west of Ireland and the west of Scotland, and of oceanic and temperate rain forest.
