This study records the presence of lichenized ascomycetes associated with the nests of Constrictotermes cyphergaster (Silvestri 1901) (Termitidae, Nasutitermitinae) in a semiarid ecosystem in northeastern Brazil
Summary
Constrictotermes cyphergaster (Blattaria, Termitidae) termite nests as substrates for lichen fixation in the semiarid region of northeastern. Termite nests are natural environments rich in organic material, and favorable to the growth of a variety of microorganisms (Sands, 1969; Siebers et al, 2015). Aptroot and Cáceres (2014) described four new lichen species growing on termite mounds in a humid tropical forest area in the Amazon region of Brazil.
