Dědková K., Vančurová L., Muggia L. & Steinová J. (2025): The plurality of photobionts within single lichen thalli, Symbiosis, 95: 35–63

Photobiont plurality refers to the presence of multiple photobionts within a single lichen thallus. This phenomenon was described at the end of the last century but has received deeper attention in the last decade. The available literature on this topic is limited and studies address only a few groups of lichens. Here, the most recent and important findings on photobiont plurality reported to date are revisited. The most commonly reported photobionts coexisting in a lichen thallus are algae of the … Read more...

Prokopiev I.A., Sazanova K.V., Sleptsov I.V., Filippova G.V., Kuzmina N.P., Frolova D.A. & Zholobova Zh.O. (2025): Effect of secondary metabolites of lichens on microbial communities in permafrost forest soils, Contemporary Problems of Ecology, 18: 82–100

[original Russian text published in Sibirskii Ekologicheskii Zhurnal, 2025, No. 1, pp. 98–119.] The influence of ground lichens Flavocetraria cucullata and Certraria laevigata on the chemical, biochemical, and microbiological characteristics of permafrost soils of central Yakutia has been studied. It is revealed that the values of the content of organic carbon, exchangeable cations and anions, and pH do not depend on the presence or absence of lichens on the soil surface. It is revealed that … Read more...

Li Z., Ye P. & Li Y. (2025): Environmental factors influence lichen colonization and the biodeterioration of brick carvings on roof ridges of historic buildings in Luoyang, China, Sustainability, 17(8): 3721 [15 p.]

Lichens that inhabit the roofs of historic buildings create a unique ecosystem. Comprehending the mechanisms underlying lichen colonization and the associated biodegradation within these structures is essential for formulating effective conservation strategies for historic buildings. Here, the microbial communities of lichens on the roofs of 10 historic buildings in Luoyang and nine surrounding counties were investigated via visual assessments and molecular biological analyses. The diversity of lichen … Read more...

Stapper N. & John V. (2024): Flechten im NSG Wolbecker Tiergarten [Lichens in the Wolbecker Tiergarten Nature Reserve], Abhandlungen aus dem Westfälischen Museum für Naturkunde, 108: 283–322

[in German with English abstract: ] In the nature reserve Wolbecker Tiergarten, a total of 71 lichen species were found in autumn 2022. These are mostly widespread species, of which many are adapted to dry habitats and also moderately tolerant to inputs of eutrophicating substances. Only four species are bound to ancient forests. Sources from the 19th century, however, report numerous lichen species tied to ancient forests for the Wolbecker Tiergarten, mostly oceanic folious and crustaceous lichens. … Read more...

Masumoto H. & Degawa Y. (2020): Multiclavula vernalis (Cantharellales) new to Japan, 日菌報 [Japanese Journal of Mycology], 61(1): 19–25

Multiclavula vernalis, a lichenized clavarioid fungus, was newly recorded in Japan with descriptions and illustrations of the fruiting bodies and the thalli based on specimens collected in Nagano Prefecture. This report also contains the sequence of nrDNA ITS region, the results of the molecular phylogenetic analyses, and the information on the multispore culture. Fruiting bodies of M. vernalis were scattered on the ground of Andosols in the subalpine zone in Japan, and the lichenized thallus was … Read more...

Chrismas N. & Yahr R. (2025): Genomics: A window into the molecular mystery box of lichen symbiosis, Current Biology, 35: R139–R141

How is a symbiosis built? Lichen metagenomic and metatranscriptomic surveys comparing growth stages, experimental treatments and environmental settings identify a catalogue of candidate genes—andmicrobial partners — in a developing model system. Read more...

Rosentreter R. & DeBolt A. (2025): Moss and lichen reestablishment on the Salmon River in Idaho, USA, Evansia, 42(1): 11–19

Many streams have distinct vegetation zonation, but few have quantified the time it takes to recover or reestablish those vegetation types once they are disturbed. How quickly or slowly a species responds to a disturbance can inform one of the age of past disturbances. Knowing the level at which aquatic mosses and lichens occur is helpful for determining the elevation at which to build infrastructure such as bridges or trails along a stream. Streamside zonation can be used to indicate disturbance … Read more...

Wiersma Y.F., Hennifent R., Hodge J., Gillingham D., Francis B., Skeard F. & McMullin R.T. (2025): A new hotspot for Blue Felt Lichen (Pectenia plumbea) in Atlantic Canada, Northeastern Naturalist, 32(1): 103–113

Pectenia plumbea (Blue Felt Lichen) is a cyanolichen considered rare and at-risk in eastern North America. Most of the North American distribution is in the Canadian Atlantic provinces. More than 60% of the previously documented individual thalli were from the province of Nova Scotia. Here, we document a new location for this species on the island of Newfoundland and test whether number of thalli per tree is related to tree size and extent of coverage on the bole, and whether size of largest … Read more...

Ott S. & Jahns H.M. (1999): Flechten auf Blockhalden - eine Übersicht über besiedlungsrelevante Faktoren [Lichens on block fields - an overview of colonisation relevant factors], Decheniana Beiheft, 37: 85–91

[in German with English abstract: ] Distribution of lichens on block fields is influenced by a complex system of interacting exogenous factors. Next to the large-scale influence of macroclimate and chemical properties of the substrate the microclimate is of special importance. Reproduction and interaction of the symbiotic organisms are also relevant aspects. The lifestrategies of the different species show a high degree of adaption to the conditions of the habitats. Keywords: lichens, microclimate, … Read more...
