Sergipe and Amazonas are the smallest and biggest states of Brazil. The Amazone is famous because it is the richest biome for most terrestrial organism groups. Lichens are no exception, even though they are not very abundant in rainforest. Lichens are very species rich in the Amazon, and a single tree easily harbours 100 different species, and a small location up to 500 species. Also, many species grow on living leaves, easily up to 50 on a large, well-placed palm frond. In this book, some of these species are illustrated, in many cases for the first time, or for the first time in colour. New species Myriotrema psormuriforme Aptroot & Schumm, sp. nov Paraporpidia neotropica Aptroot & Schumm sp. nov New combination Fissurina bothynocarpa (Redinger) Aptroot & Schumm new comb. = Graphina bothynocarpa Redinger

In this book, lichens collected in 2015 and 2016 in the Brazilian states Amapá, Tocantins and some from Pará and São Paulo are treated, including several species that were not illustrated before. Pará is one of the largest states in the Amazon. Some specimens are illustrated here from near the border of this state with Manahão. Amapá and Tocantins are tropical states in Northern Brazil. Amapá is the only Brazilian state that lies largely in the Northern Hemisphere. For many tropical species that were described from Brazil, it is their only known occurence on the Northern Hemisphere. The natural vegetation of Amapá is tropical rainforest; in Tocantins it is partly tropical rainforest, partly Cerrado with gallery forests.

This revised and extended edition provides in-depth insights into the benefits and untapped potential of lichen-derived bioactive compounds. The whole spectrum of these compounds’ biological and medical functions, from antibiotic to antiviral and anti-carcinogenic properties, is presented. In addition, a new chapter discusses the anti-neurodegenerative and anti-diabetic activities of lichenic secondary metabolites. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable asset for students and researchers in this field.
