| Lichens play a major role in the ecosystems. In the cities, lichens contribute to support biodiversity of micro- and macroorganisms and are useful as bioindicators of air pollution and environmental changes. Although we know that lichen diaspora (spores and vegetative propagules) can travel by the wind and colonize faraway areas, the species richness and abundance of lichen diaspora presented in the air is still scarcely known. We combine the use of Hirst-type volumetric aerobiological trap with the analyses from Next-Generation DNA Sequencing (NGS) The molecular marker analysed was the ITS2 of the rDNA. The samples were collected during one week in two different sites of Madrid (Spain). Sampling was repeated once for each season during a year. The preliminary results obtained for fungal identification show an interesting diversity of species of different taxonomic groups. This diversity varies among seasons of the year. We are analysing the dispersal strategies of the species and comparing the species record with the regional checklists of the Madrid province, bordering regions and whole Iberian Peninsula. Altogether, our preliminary results show that aerobiological techniques in combination with NGS analyses are a promising tool for the study of different subjects as ecology, biogeography or biological conservation. | |
