Dew and fog as possible evolutionary drivers? The expansion of crustose and fruticose lichens in the Negev is respectively mainly dictated by dew and fog

Main conclusion The expansion of crustose lichens in the Negev is principally determined by dew and that of fruticose lichens by fog. Crustose and fruticose lichens are largely adapted to dew and fog, respectively. Although crustose and fruticosea lichens were shown to efficiently use dew and fog, t...
