Dr. Francesco Dal GrandeC2.6: ADAPTATION OF FUNGI TO CLIMATE CHANGE Research Interests Effects of climate change on lichen-forming fungi and their photobionts: reactions of species/communities, diversity and stress-protective role of secondary metabolites. Co-Phylogeography of lichen symbionts: selectivity and specifity in lichen communities, vertical vs. horizontal photobiont transmission. Molecular phylogenetics of green algal lichen symbionts. Secondary metabolites of fungal and algal lichen symbionts: annotation and analysis of secondary metabolite biosynthesis gene clusters in lichen genomes. Winner of the "Mason Hale Award"; IAL (International Association for Lichenology): "The Mason Hale Award is granted to recognise excellence in research by young lichenologists for outstanding work resulting from doctoral dissertations or similar studies."
