Symbiotic cyanobacteria in lichens

Cyanolichens are obligate symbioses between fungi and cyanobacteria. They occur in many types of environments ranging from Arctic tundra and semi-deserts to tropical rainforests. Possibly even a majority of their global species diversity has not yet been described. Symbiotic cyanobacteria provide both photosynthate and fixed nitrogen to the fungal host and the relative importance of these functions differs in different cyanolichens. The cyanobiont can either be the sole photosynthetic partner or a secondary symbiont in addition to a primary green algal photobiont. In addition, the cyanolichen thallus may incorporate a plethora of other microorganisms. The fungal symbionts in cyanolichens are almost exclusively ascomycetes. Nostoc is by far the most commonly encountered cyanobacterial genus. While the cyanobacterial symbionts are presently not readily identifiable to species, molecular methods work well on the generic level and offer practical means for identifying symbiotic cyanobacterial genotypes. The present diversity of lichen cyanobionts may partly reflect the evolutionary effects of their lichen-symbiotic way of life and dispersal.Peer reviewe

Migration and Settlement in Finland

This report is part of the Comparative Migration and Settlement Study included in the Migration and Settlement Task in the Human Settlements and Services Area at IIASA. Its purpose is to give a detailed overview of the internal migration patterns, issues and policies in Finland. As such, the work amounts to a case study among the other corresponding reports made in countries belonging to IIASA and it is aimed at laying a basis for comparative research. However, this work can also be examined purely from the Finnish point of view. In this sense, it is to be hoped that this paper might open up new vistas and thus enlarge our understanding of the dynamics of multiregional population systems in Finland as well as provide policymakers with new tools for utilitzation in the analysis of human settlement systems
