S. Augusto, C. Mágnus and C. Branquinho 2009: Understanding the performance of different lichen species as biomonitors of atmospheric dioxins and furans: potential for intercalibration. - Ecotoxicology18(8): 1036-1042.

Abstract: [Study using Xanthoria parietina and Ramalina canariensis. "Despite differences observed between the profiles of R. canariensis and X. parietina, the calibration of PCDD/F concentrations between the two species was achieved, allowing the biomonitoring of PCDD/Fs at a regional scale using both species simultaneously."]
