Moreira M., Rocha B., Pinho P., Grifoni L. & Loppi S. & Winkler A. (2024): Lichen transplants for magnetic and chemical biomonitoring of airborne particulate matter: A spatial and temporal study in Lisbon, Portugal - Atmosphere, 15: 1079 [13 p.]

Monitoring atmospheric pollution in urban areas is challenging because pollutant deposition occurs at short distances, requiring a large amount of sampling and analysis to characterize it. Ecological indicators can help overcome this problem, allowing us to select sites with the highest deposition of pollutants from the atmosphere. Nevertheless, a major gap is the temporal characterization of the accumulation rate of magnetic particles in ecological indicators, which is critical to understand … Read more...

Benítez Á., Ortiz J., Matamoros-Apolo D., Bustamante A., López F., Yangua-Solano E. & Gusmán-Montalván E. (2024): Forest disturbance determines diversity of epiphytic lichens and bryophytes on trunk bases in tropical dry forests. - Forests, 15(9): 1565 [11 p.]

The dry forests of southern Ecuador are characterized by a great floristic variety and high endemism rates in different taxonomic groups; however, these forests are disappearing at an alarming rate due to anthropogenic disturbances. Epiphytic cryptogams (bryophytes and lichens) are important in seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTFs) and, due to their physiology (poikilohydric species), are sensitive to the changes associated with specific human disturbances. We examined the response of epiphytic … Read more...

Rinas C.L. & Vellend M. (2024): An experimental test of niche versus dispersal limitation of the distribution limit of the Ghost Antler Lichen, Pseudevernia cladonia, along a temperate–boreal elevation gradient - Botany, 102: 329–339

Understanding the mechanisms underlying species’ distribution limits is critical for predicting how species may respond to environmental change. For species restricted to mountain summits, there is concern that climatic changes may result in increasingly restricted distributions. Two central mechanisms govern species distribution limits: (i) niche limitations– environmental conditions beyond distribution limits that are insufficient for survival and reproduction, and (ii) dispersal limitations … Read more...

Assini S., Brugellis I., Nascimbene J., Barcella M., Gressani A. & Gheza G. (2024): Dry grasslands of central-western Po Plain (Italy): implications under Council Directive 92/43/EEC - Plant Sociology, 61(2): 1–20

This paper provides an overall look on the diversity of lowland dry grasslands of the western Po Plain, useful to support their conservation and management. Specific aims were: 1) to identify lowland dry grassland-associated plant communities at alliance level, which is useful for their classification under the Council Directive 92/43/EEC, 2) to assess their synecological and synchorological differences, 3) to define the equivalent Directive habitats and their management implications. Seven subareas … Read more...

Zhurbenko M.P. & Diederich P. (2024): One new genus and six new species of lichenicolous hyphomycetes - Herzogia, 37(1): 48–61

One genus, Baliomyces, and six species of lichenicolous hyphomycetes, B. taimyricus (on Amygdalaria), Chalara valdiviana (on Nephroma), Codonmyces ochrolechiae (on Ochrolechia), Minutoexcipula ohmurae (on Menegazzia and Anzia), Sclerococcum tremoleciae (on Tremolecia), and Talpapellis psorulae (on Psorula), are described as new to science. Key words: Ascomycota, anamorphs, lichen-dwelling fungi, taxonomy. Read more...

van den Boom P.P.G., Sipman H. & Ertz D. (2024): Contribution to the flora of lichens and lichenicolous fungi from Curaçao, with a new species in Polymeridium - Herzogia, 37(1): 16–24

Few lichens have been recorded from the Caribbean island of Curaçao. A first list from Curaçao is presented, with 79 taxa of lichens and lichenicolous fungi. It is mainly based on new records from collections made by the authors in 2013 and 2018, on few previously published records and some herbarium specimens. Polymeridium pusillum is described as new to science and notes on the overlooked Ramalina microphylla are provided. Key words: Biodiversity, tropical island, annotated list, taxonomy, … Read more...

Brackel W. v. (2024): Voyage armoricain ‒ lichenicolous fungi from northern France - Herzogia, 37(1): 32–47

During a journey to Normandie and Bretagne in northwestern France, 24 locations of lichenological interest were visited and searched for lichenicolous fungi. The resulting list comprises 62 taxa. The new species Plectocarpon armoricum and Tremella bretonica are described. Sphaerellothecium parmotrematis and Stigmidium subcladoniicola are new to continental Europe, while Abrothallus ramalinae, Biatoropsis usnearum s. str., Didymocyrtis canariensis, Tremella parietinae and Zevadia peroccidentalis … Read more...

Schiefelbein U., Knudsen K. & Kocourková J. (2024): Acarospora atacamensis (Acarosporaceae), a new species from the Atacama Desert - Herzogia, 37(1): 25–31

Acarospora atacamensis is described as new for science and is known currently only from its holotype collected in the Atacama Desert. It grows on HCl- sandstone and its hypothallus forms a soil crust in the center of thallus which supports a single species of algae which is probably the same alga also found in its thallus lichenized. Acarospora congregata is reported for the second time from Atacama Desert. Key words: Acarospora xanthophana, barcodes, Chile, deserts, South America. Read more...

Acarospora monacensis is revised and recovered from synonymy with Acarospora fuscata. It is reported from the Czech Republic and Germany. Acarospora variegata is revised and reported new for northern Italy based on a historical collection. There are no modern collections. Sarcogyne distans (Arnold) K.Knudsen & Kocourk. is described from historical German collections and modern collections from Austria and Czech Republic. The taxonomic concept hemicryptic hymenial gel reactions to Lugol’s (IKI) … Read more...
