ABSTRACT
A systematic survey of lichens was performed in 2019 in four of the five territories
constituting the French Scattered Islands (Europa Island, Juan de Nova, Glorioso
Islands, and Tromelin) focusing on the genus Ramalina. Species were characterized using
morphological (macroscopic and microscopic) features and an accurate chemical profiling
method based on high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode-array
detection and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-DAD-MS). Five
species were found in these territories. Two of them, Ramalina dumeticola and R. ovalis, are
already known. Three species are introduced here as new to science: Ramalina gloriosensis
sp. nov., R. hivertiana sp. nov., and R. marteaui sp. nov. An identification key is provided
for the species found in the area and morphologically closely related taxa.
FUNDING
Species studied in this paper were collected in the frame
of the ‘Scattered Island’ inter-agency research consortium
(2017–2021) coordinated by the French Southern
and Antarctic Lands (TAAF) in partnership with: Centre
National de la Recherche Scientifique, Institut de Recherche
pour le Développement, Ifremer, Office Français de
la Biodiversité, Université de La Réunion & Université
de Mayotte. Fieldwork was funded by the inter-agency
research consortium and was done jointly by the Conservatoire
Botanique National de Mascarin, the Missouri
Botanical Garden and the Muséum National d’Histoire
Naturelle (UMS 2006 PatriNat OFB – CNRS – MNHN)
in the frame of the RECOFFIE (Renforcement des COnnaissances
sur la Flore et la Fonge des Iles Éparses)
project, implemented as part of the ‘Scattered Island’
inter-agency research consortium (2017–2021). Species
chemical profiling was funded by UMR 6226 (Université
de Rennes, CNRS, Institut des Sciences Chimiques de
Rennes).
