• Functional traits of epiphytic lichens as potential indicators of environmental conditions in forest ecosystems (2012, background): “The evaluation of observed patterns of lichen diversity in terms of species traits is a recent, promising approach, which is, however, in need of further research (Ellis and Coppins, 2006; Johansson et al., 2007).”
• Epiphytic lichen diversity along elevational gradients: biological traits reveal a complex response to water and energy (2015, background): “Photobiont type and thallus growth forms are among the most responsive traits that account for largescale patterns of lichen diversity (Ellis & Coppins, 2006, 2010; Marini et al., 2011b); for example, lichens with a Trentepohlia algal partner are enhanced by increasing temperatures (van Herk et…”
• Response of British lichens to climate change scenarios: Trends and uncertainties in the projected impact for contrasting biogeographic groups (2007, background): “…community structure from the more oceanic west coast, with a lower temperature range and more frequent rainfall, to the relatively more continental east, with a greater temperature range (cooler winter temperatures) and less frequent rainfall (Coppins, 1976; Fryday, 2002; Ellis and Coppins, 2006).”
• Lichen traits responding to aridity (2015, background): “Also in Scotland, foliose species showed to become less frequent in stands from wetter localities, reflecting a climatic gradient across Scotland, from the wet and oceanic Atlantic seaboard to the drier and more continental north-east (Ellis & Coppins 2006).”
• Network properties of an epiphyte metacommunity (2007, background): “Consequently, nestedness in epiphyte‐ host interactions may result from the sequential colonization of epiphyte species that are less tolerant of soil moisture and nutrient stress (see also Stone 1989; Ellis & Coppins 2006 ).”
• Tree and stand level variables influencing diversity of lichens on temperate broad-leaved trees in boreo-nemoral floodplain forests (2008, background): “The processes underlying the formation of the epiphytic lichen communities are complex, as environmental factors at the tree and stand levels are inter-correlated (McCune 1993; Giordani 2006; Ellis and Coppins 2006, 2007a ).”
• Lichens on dead wood: species‐substrate relationships in the epiphytic lichen floras of the Pacific Northwest and Fennoscandia (2008, background): “As noted by Forsslund and Koffman (1998), most obligately lignicolous lichens are crustose and reproduce sexually, although these traits are by no means unique to lignicoles.”
