Ferrari F.R., Villa P.M., Putzke J., Robinson S.A., Francelino M.R. & Schaefer C.E.G.R. (2026): Habitat-mediated filtering, rather than soil properties, shapes plant community diversity on Nelson Island, Maritime Antarctica, Journal of Vegetation Science, 37(3): e70145 [15 p.]

Aims: Environmental filtering is a key framework in vegetation science; yet, disentangling the relative roles of habitat and soil-mediated filters remains challenging in Antarctic cryptogamic communities. At the regional scale in Antarctica, climate is the primary driver of plant community diversity and structure. However, at a local scale, topography and soil properties are also crucial. This study aimed to assess how habitat-mediated (including substrate type and nesting-related disturbance), … Read more...

Rawat S., Kumar N., Quyoom B., ul Haq M. & Peer L.A. (2026): Multivariate chemoprospecting of five ethnobotanically important Himalayan lichens identifies Parmotrema austrosinense as a promising source of phenolic antioxidants, Chemistry and Biodiversity, 23(5): e71264 [14 p.]

Lichens are an underexplored reservoir of nutritionally and pharmacologically relevant metabolites. This study provides one of the first comprehensive multivariate profiles of five ethnobotanically important lichen species (Lobaria retigera, Dirinaria consimilis, Parmotrema austrosinense, Ramalina conduplicans, and Usnea orientalis) from Uttarakhand, India, using an integrated screening approach to evaluate and rank their bioactive potential. A combined analysis of nutritional components (protein, … Read more...

Chowaniec K., Szafrańska K. & Skubała K. (2026): Biocrust heterogeneity drives water balance in the topsoil of temperate sandy post-mining ecosystem, Journal of Soil Sediments, 26: 181 [18 p.]

Purpose: Sandy habitats in temperate regions include a range of anthropogenic and semi-natural ecosystems, such as post-mining areas. Such environments face severe ecological constraints due to coarse soil texture, low nutrient content, and poor water retention. Among natural recovery processes, biological soil crusts (biocrusts) play a key role in shaping soil hydrology and surface stability. Keywords: Biological soil crust · Temperate climate · Water balance · Ecosystem resilience · Post-mining … Read more...

Kurakov A.V., Bibikov N.M., Bilanenko E.N., Kokaeva L.Yu., Abakumov E.V., Zherebiatyeva N.V. & Soromotin A.V. (2026): Mycobiota of Podzol Turbic under Reindeer Pastures in Tundra of the Yamal Peninsula, Eurasian Soil Science, 59: 102 [15 p.]

The diversity and structure of fungal communities in the Entic Podzol (Turbic) under variously disturbed reindeer pastures on the Yamal Peninsula were examined by the cultural method and DNA metabarcoding. We isolated 29 species from 16 genera of fungi assigned to the phyla Ascomycota and Mucoromycota by plating method and 434 OTUs of seven phyla (Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Glomeromycota, Mortierellomycota, Mucoromycota, Olpidiomycota, and Rozellomycota) by DNA metabarcoding (251 OTUs were identified … Read more...

Pérez-Rodrigo M., Moya P., Arenzana C., Garrido-Benavent I., Barreno E., Mark K., Peksa O., Westberg M., Carrasco P. & Marco F. (2026): Poikilohydria, polyols, and homeoviscosity: lichen metabolomic remodeling across environmental gradients , Frontiers in Plant Science, 17: 1792494 [14 p.]

Introduction: Lichens are poikilohydric organisms whose biochemistry is strongly shaped by environmental conditions, yet their metabolome-wide adaptations across habitats remain unexplored. Methods: Here, we established a continent-scale reference for the in-situ metabolome of the model lichen Ramalina farinacea, from thalli collected across six European regions during winter and summer, using untargeted GC-MS. Results: In total, 187 small molecules were annotated, including a compact core of … Read more...

Kaufmann S., Hauck M. & Leuschner C. (2018): Effects of natural forest dynamics on vascular plant, bryophyte, and lichen diversity in primeval Fagus sylvatica forests and comparison with production forests, Journal of Ecology, 106(6): 2421–2434

Stand structure, mean tree age, deadwood amount and microclimate all change markedly in the course of natural forest dynamics. The last remaining primeval forests of the temperate forest biome are valuable study objects to investigate the effects of forest dynamics and management on forest structure and function as well as phytodiversity, which is not sufficiently understood. Three pairs of Fagus sylvatica primeval and production forests in eastern Slovakia were selected for studying the effects … Read more...

Timdal E. & Spribille T. (2026): Ophioparma rubricosa confirmed for Europe, Graphis Scripta, 38(2): 10–17

The western North American lichen species Ophioparma rubricosa is reported new to Northern Europe from a collection in Southeast Norway, thus confirming its occurrence in Europe. It was previously reported outside North America with some doubt from one locality in Sardinia, Italy, and from one locality in China. The species grew on dry wood of an old pine stump in an open, middle to northern boreal pine forest bordering a mire. DNA sequences are presented from the species for the first time. … Read more...

Mollinedo P., Vila J.L., Nogales-Ascarrunz P. & Apaza Ticona L. (2026): QSAR Analysis of Lichen Depsides and Derivatives: Electronic Descriptors as Predictors of Antioxidant Activity via PLS-1, Antioxidants, 15(5): 584 [15 p.]

The antioxidant activity of natural and semi-synthetic depsides and benzofurans—including R-(+)-usnic acid (1), dibenzoyl usnic acid (2), atranorin (3), 2,4-bis(benzoyloxy)atranorin (4), 4-O-methyl atranorin (5), decarboxythamnolic acid (6), thamnolic acid (7), and perlatolic acid (8)—was evaluated in this study. Natural compounds were isolated from selected lichen species, whilst semi-synthetic derivatives were prepared to investigate the influence of esterification and methylation on electronic … Read more...

Opiña L.A., Bagacay J.F.E., Siccio M.A., Sara F.R., Canto C.M., Silaras M.L., Ynion G.P.L.Q. & Calabon M.S. (2026): Philippine mycology II: an integrative taxonomic classification of novel Basidiomycota, basal fungi, and fungus-like phyla from the Philippines, Phytotaxa, 753(1): 1–69

The Philippines possesses significant fungal diversity, although comprehensive taxonomic assessments remain scarce. This study presents an overview of novel Basidiomycota, basal fungi, and fungus-like taxa identified in the Philippines, based on an extensive review of published records from fungal repositories. A total of 412 Basidiomycota species have been documented, encompassing 24 genera, 65 families, 24 orders, and 7 classes (Agaricomycetes, Dacrymycetes, Exobasidiomycetes, Microbotryomycetes, … Read more...
