Lichens are two organisms in one: a fungus and an alga living together!
Reindeer and caribou rely on lichens, especially 'reindeer moss,' for crucial winter food.
Scientists use lichens as air quality monitors; they absorb pollutants, revealing air health.
Some lichens grow less than a millimeter yearly, making them incredibly slow and ancient!
Common Lichens can grow on bare rocks because they produce acids, slowly breaking down the surface to create new soil.
Common Lichens can dry out and rehydrate, which helps them survive extreme temperatures and droughts globally.
Common Lichens produce unique chemical compounds that act as sunscreens and deter herbivores, protecting them from damage.
Trebouxia arboricola
Provides food through photosynthesis for the fungal partner.
Rangifer tarandus
Crucial winter food source, especially 'reindeer moss' lichens.

Arion ater
Grazes on lichen thalli, especially on trees and rocks.
Los animales solitarios viven solos durante la mayor parte de su vida y solo interactúan con otros para aparearse o cuidar de sus crías.
Los animales arborícolas viven principalmente en los árboles, utilizándolos como refugio, alimento y protección contra los depredadores.
Colorido describe a organismos u objetos que exhiben una amplia variedad de colores brillantes y distintivos.
Los hábitats boscosos son entornos terrestres dominados por una densa cubierta arbórea, que sustentan una gran diversidad de vida animal y vegetal.
Describe a los organismos que descomponen la materia orgánica muerta, reciclando los nutrientes de vuelta al ecosistema.
