Abstract

A sizable population of the jester lichen, Cladonia leporina Fr., is here reported from dune habitat in Floyd Bennett Field, Brooklyn, NY. Marking a new record for New York, and the northernmost known record of this species, this study is a reminder that the Atlantic Coast likely still holds hidden diversity in its urban lichen communities.
