Suija A., Degtjarenko P., Jüriado I., Martin L., Oja E. & Randlane T. (2024): Updates to the list of Estonian lichenized, lichenicolous and allied fungi - Folia Cryptogamica Estonica, 61: 91–97

Herewith, we continue to upgrade the Estonian checklist of lichenized, lichenicolous and allied fungi, and report thirteen fungal species and one variety as new for Estonia, of them nine are lichenized and five are lichenicolous. Two species – Acarospora oligospora and Lathagrium auriforme – considered to be extinct in Estonia were rediscovered. One species, Usnea articulata, is excluded from the checklist of Estonian lichens. Read more...

Krugļikova A., Moisejevs R., & Piterāns A. (2024): Three species of the Cladonia pyxidata-chlorophaea complex new to Latvia - Folia Cryptogamica Estonica, 61: 87–90

The study of the Cladonia pyxidata-chlorophaea complex in Latvia is based on the revision of 276 specimens from the two largest lichen herbarium collections in Latvia. Nine species belonging to the Cladonia pyxidata-chlorophaea complex were determined using TLC and morphological studies – C. chlorophaea, C. cryptochlorophaea, C. fimbriata, C. grayi, C. humilis, C. merochlorophaea, C. novochlorophaea, C. pocillum and C. pyxidata.Of these, three species are reported as new to Latvia – C. cryptochlorophaea, … Read more...

Singh G., Pasinato A., Yriarte A.L.-C., Pizarro D., Divakar P.K., Schmitt I. & Dal Grande F. (2024): Are there conserved biosynthetic genes in lichens? Genome-wide assessment of terpene biosynthetic genes suggests ubiquitous distribution of the squalene synthase cluster - BMC Genomics, 25: 936 [16 p.]

Lichen-forming fungi (LFF) are prolific producers of functionally and structurally diverse secondary metabolites, most of which are taxonomically exclusive and play lineage-specific roles. To date, widely distributed, evolutionarily conserved biosynthetic pathways in LFF are not known. However, this idea stems from polyketide derivatives, since most biochemical research on lichens has concentrated on polyketide synthases (PKSs). Here, we present the first systematic identification and comparison … Read more...

(2024): The gut microbiome and lignocellulose digestion in Constrictotermes cyphergaster (Termitidae: Nasutitermitinae): A termite incorporating lichen into its diet. , - Diversity, 16: 623 [14 p.]

Lichen-feeding termites occupy a distinctive ecological niche. This feeding behavior underscores a complex interplay between the termites’ digestive abilities and the biochemical properties of lichens, known for their resilience and production of secondary metabolites. Understanding the dietary preferences and digestive mechanisms of these termites offers insights into their ecological roles and the evolutionary adaptations that enable them to exploit such a specialized food source. We conducted … Read more...

Schoutteten N., Yurkov A., Spirin V., Savchenko A., Aime M.C., Begerow D. & Verbeken A. (2024): Examination of mycoparasites reveals a new type of host-parasite interface and rearranges the taxonomy of Occultifur and Microsporomyces (Cystobasidiomycetes, Basidiomycota) - Studies in Mycology, 109: 451–486

The present study investigates the species boundaries, evolutionary relationships, and host-parasite interfaces of dimorphic mycoparasites that were previously assigned to Achroomyces soranus, Occultifur internus, and Platygloea mycophila based on morphological similarities. Our comparison of recently collected and cultivated samples with the type specimens of A. soranus and P. mycophila shows that both groups are species complexes, of which the taxa can be differentiated based on morphological and … Read more...

(2024): Drivers of vascular plant, bryophyte and lichen richness in grasslands along a precipitation gradient (central Apennines, Italy) - Journal of Vegetation Science, 35(5): e13305

Questions Semi-natural grasslands in Southern Europe are biodiversity hotspots, yet their patterns of plant species richness are less studied than in Central Europe. In the Central Apennines (Italy), there are large areas of dry calcareous grasslands, across a steep gradient of mean annual precipitation (from 650 to 1350 mm within c. 30 km). We asked: How do these grasslands compare to other Palaearctic grasslands in richness levels? How do the precipitation gradient and other environmental … Read more...

Szczepańska K., Kukwa M. & Ossowska E.A. (2024): Aspicilia fluviatilis and Circinaria leprosescens, two lichen species of the family Megasporaceae new to Poland - Acta Mycologica, 59: 192461 [6 p.]

The paper presents two saxicolous species of the family Megasporaceae, Aspicilia fluviatilis and Circinaria leprosescens, discovered as new to Poland. Aspicilia fluviatilis is a rare, arctic-alpine species with elongated marginal areoles, and Circinaria leprosescens, occurs only in marine and strongly nitrophilous habitats and is often found sterile with granular to isidiate upper cortex. The identity of C. leprosescens was confirmed by molecular data, BLAST searches and haplotype network analysis … Read more...
