GHATE S.D., SRIDHAR K.R. (2015): Rain-borne fungi in stemflow and throughfall of six tropical palm species.   [Canopy, hyphomycetes, conidia, species richness, diversity, abiotic factors]  Czech Mycology 67(1): 45-58   (published: 29th May, 2015)
  abstract   The present survey documents rain-borne hyphomycetes in stemflow and throughfall of six palm species on the west coast of India during the monsoon season. A total of 61 species were recovered.Irrespective of the palms, throughfall was represented by a higher number of species than stemflow.Pearson correlation was significant and positive between richness of species and conidia with air humidity, air temperature, water temperature and water conductivity. Except for Areca, Shannon diversity was higher in throughfall compared to stemflow. Jaccard’s percent similarity of species in stemflow was lowest between Cocos vs. Roystonea (16%) and highest between Borassus vs. Caryota (55.5%), while in throughfall it was lowest between Areca vs. Livistona (16.7%) and highest between Caryota vs. Cocos and Livistona vs. Cocos (50%).Two-way ANOVA revealed that the richness of species and that of conidia were significantly more dependent on palm species than stemflow or throughfall. The number of rain-borne fungi in palm species exceeded that in the nearby coastal stream with an overlap of about 40%.

KARAMCHAND K.S., SRIDHAR K.R. (2008): Water-borne conidial fungi inhabiting tree holes of the west coast and Western Ghats of India.   [tree holes, canopy, leaf litter, water-borne fungi, conidia, diversity]  Czech Mycology 60(1): 63-74   (published: 4th July, 2008)
  abstract   The present study focuses on water-borne conidial fungi associated with leaf litter in riparian tree holes of the west coast (Konaje) and Western Ghats (Sampaje) of India during dry (summer) and wet (monsoon) seasons. Out of a total of 34 fungal taxa recovered from leaf litter trapped in tree holes, 26 fully identified taxa constitute the first record for the tree hole habitat. Paired t-test revealed no significant difference in number of taxa (P = 0.1177) and conidial output (P = 0.1816) between Konaje and Sampaje tree holes, while they significantly differed between seasons of Konaje (P = 0.0258) and Sampaje (P = 0.0206). The Simpson and Shannon diversity of fungi were highest in Sampaje than Konaje tree holes. Tree-wise diversity of fungi revealed that banyan (Ficus benghalensis) tree holes are highly diverse during the summer and monsoon seasons in Konaje, but only during summer in Sampaje. In spite of a low conidial output, tree hole leaf litter of Konaje yielded 18 taxa against 20 taxa in the Konaje stream, wheras 29 taxa were recorded in Sampaje tree holes against 68 taxa in the Sampaje stream. The current study has been compared with earlier investigations on the occurrence of water-borne conidial fungi in tree canopies (e. g. intact leaves, leaf litter, tree holes, stemflow and throughfall).
