Benedict, JB/ Nash, TH", III 1990: Radial growth and habitat selection by morphologically similar chemotypes of Xanthoparmelia. - The Bryologist93(3): 319-327. [RLL List # 141 / Rec.# 1769] Keywords: XANTHOPARMELIA/ COLORADO/ CHEMOTYPES/ GROWTH RATES/ HABITAT SELECTION/ ECOLOGY
Abstract: 4 tables. 4 figures. [Study conducted in the Colorado Front Range on Xanthoparmelia lineola, X. subdecipiens and three other chemotypes. "Recognition of the chemotypes as distinct species is supported by differences in annual radial growth under uniform conditions at a transplant locality, and differences in habitat selection along an environmental transect."]
