Host specialization and spatial divergence of bacteria associated with Peltigera lichens promote landscape gamma diversity
The findings suggest that Petigera thalli create fragmented habitats that foster landscape bacterial gamma-diversity. This underscores the importance of preserving lichens for maintaining a potential reservoir of specialized bacteria.
