Darmostuk V., Etayo J., Rodriguez-Flakus P., Pino-Bodas R. & Flakus A. (2026): Phylogenetic position and revised classification of Trichonectria (Hypocreales) and related genera, Taxon, 75(1): e70032 [32 p.]

The genus Trichonectria includes a group of fungi, primarily comprising of lichen-dwelling species but also with fungicolous, bryophilous, and saprotrophic taxa. This genus is mainly characterised by the presence of thick-walled setae around the ostiole or distributed across the whole surface of the ascomata. Until now, molecular data have been available for only a limited number of species. This study aims to clarify the phylogenetic placement of Trichonectria and closely related genera within the … Read more...

El-Sofany W.I., Alshammari A.F., Alshammari M.Z., Alshammari H.K., Alshammari N.S., Masood N. & Hamden K. (2026): Extraction, characterization, and biological evaluation of atranorin against diabetes-induced reproductive dysfunction through modulation of oxidative stress, inflammatory pathways and key reproductive enzymes, International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 27(5): 2416 [19 p.]

Male fertility is declining worldwide, with notable reductions in sperm counts, emphasizing the need for new therapeutic interventions. Atranorin (ATR), a lichen-derived secondary metabolite, exhibits strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. This study assessed the protective effects of ATR on type 1 diabetes (T1D)-induced reproductive dysfunction in rats. T1D was induced in male Wistar rats via a single intraperitoneal injection of alloxan at 150 mg/kg body weight (bw). ATR significantly … Read more...

(2025): Sustainable forest planning: Assessing biodiversity effects of Triad zoning based on empirical data and virtual landscapes, Proceedings of The National Academy of Sciences of The United States of America, 122(39): e2512683122 [10 p.]

The Triad framework seeks to balance the economic and ecological functions in forested landscapes by combining intensively, extensively, and unmanaged areas, assuming a higher support to biodiversity in extensively rather than in intensively managed forests. We quantified the effects of Triad zoning on biodiversity in (sub)montane eutrophic European beech forests. Using a European-wide multitaxon database and a “virtual” landscape approach (i.e., by resampling empirical data), we evaluated … Read more...

(2026): European forest carbon and biodiversity policies have a limited win-win potential, Nature Communications, 17: 1976 [13 p.]

Climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation are key forest functions, but how to pursue them jointly in timber-managed forests is still unclear. We use a Europe-wide dataset of forest multi-taxon diversity and stand structure to (i) evaluate the importance of aboveground carbon stocks in determining species richness of six taxonomic groups; (ii) assess relationships between species richness and carbon stocks; (iii) discuss the potential to jointly enhance carbon and biodiversity and policy … Read more...

Desponts M., Brunet G., Bélanger L. & Bouchard M. (2004): The eastern boreal old-growth balsam fir forest: a distinct ecosystem, Canadian Journal of Botany, 82(6): 830–849

The objective of this project was to assess the importance of pristine forests in maintaining the botanical biodiversity of the humid boreal balsam fir forest of eastern Canada. The study was based on a comparative analysis of silviculturally mature second-growth stands and pristine forest stands at two stages of development (senescent and old growth) in the Gaspé Peninsula. The structure and composition of the stands was described, and the abundance of structural attributes evaluated. The communities … Read more...

[in Swedish with English abstract: ] Oland’s windmills are an important habitat for several rare lichens. A total of 192 windmills out of 366 known on the island were visited and lichen flora investigated. The lichen flora found on this very special “culture wood” was before the study relatively unknown. 19 rare and culture wood-specific lichens was selected and mapped during the years 2017-2021. 248 findings of red-listed lichens were made and of the 178 windmills examined there were red-listed … Read more...

Clerc P. (2025): Lichens (Ascomycètes lichénisés) nouveaux ou intéressants pour la Suisse et/ou le canton de Genève – 6, Saussurea, 54: 79–86

Th is article continues the new series inaugurated in 2020 and intended to publish interesting or new lichenological discoveries for Switzerland or the canton of Geneva. A study using thin-layer chromatography of specimens collected in Switzerland from the Fungarium G of the Ochrolechia androgyna group shows the presence of three species: O. androgyna s.str., O. bahusiensis and O. mahluensis. The latter species is new to Switzerland. The known distribution of these three species in Switzerland … Read more...

Claerhout T., Sparrius L.B., Keßler P.J. & Stech M. (2026): Urban heat Islands shape epiphytic communities of lichens and bryophytes. , Urban Ecosystems, 29: 63 [18 p.]

Lichens and bryophytes are renowned for their use as bioindicators of environmental pollution and climate change. In urban environments, climate change may directly affect the temperature regime, thereby worsening the intensity of the urban heat island effect (UHI). Using lichens and bryophytes as bioindicators for the UHI allows urban planners and policy makers to mitigate the UHI in a targeted approach. Here, we investigated whether and how the diversity and community composition of epiphytic lichens, … Read more...
