[Yatsyna A.P., Chesnokov S.V., Konoreva L.A. & Golubkov V.V.] (2023): Ревизия лишайников рода Micarea (Pilocarpaceae) в Беларуси, c ключом для определения видов [A revision of the lichen genus Micarea (Pilocarpaceae) in Belarus, with a key to the species] - Новости систематики низших растений [Novosti sistematiki nizshikh rastenii] / Novitates systematicae plantarum non vascularium, 57(1): 107–122

[in Russian with English abstract: ] As a result of the revision of the herbarium material stored at the V. F. Kuprevich Institute of Experimental Botany of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus (MSK), 17 lichen species from the genus Micarea have been identified for Belarus, of which six are reported for the first time for the republic: M. byssacea, M. microareolata, M. nowakii, M. pusilla, M. pseudomicrococca, and M. soralifera. In addition, four other species are known for Belarus according … Read more...

Fałtynowicz W. & Wierzchołek E. (2023): Pierwsze stanowisko Stereocaulon pileatum Ach. (Stereocaulaceae, Ascomycotina Licheniasti) na niżu polskim [The first locality of Stereocaulon pileatum Ach. (Stereocaulaceae, Ascomycotina Licheniasti) in the Polish lowland] - Steciana, 27(1): 7–9

A new locality of rare lichen species, Stereocaulon pileatum, in the Wielkopolska region was found in 2017 in the vicinity of Wieruszów city. The lichen grew massively on small melaphyre stones on the railway embankment over a lenght of almost 2 kilometers. The optimal habitat conditions are confirmed not only by the mass occurrence, but also by the good health of the thallus and the presence of numerous fruiting bodies. It is a species known in Poland from only 15 sites in the mountains. … Read more...

Merges D., Dal Grande F., Valim H., Singh G. & Schmitt I. (2023): Gene abundance linked to climate zone: Parallel evolution of gene content along elevation gradients in lichenized fungi - Frontiers in Microbiology, 14: 1097787 [8 p.]

Introduction: Intraspecific genomic variability affects a species’ adaptive potential toward climatic conditions. Variation in gene content across populations and environments may point at genomic adaptations to specific environments. The lichen symbiosis, a stable association of fungal and photobiont partners, offers an excellent system to study environmentally driven gene content variation. Many of these species have remarkable environmental tolerances, and often form populations across different … Read more...

Fadnes P. (2022): Sjeldne og rødlistede skorpelav i kystregnskogen i Sunnhordland [Rare and redlisted lichens in the coastal rainforest in South-Western Norway] - Blyttia, 80: 260–271

[in Norwegian with English abstract: ] This article describes 12 species of rare and redlisted crustose lichens which are more or less common in the coastal pine forests in the south-western part of Norway, normally referred to as boreonemoral rainforests due to their occurrence in the boreonemoral climatic zone. Many locations are relatively rich in deciduous trees where these specified lichens are growing on branches and stems of these. The lichens in question are referred to as diagnostic … Read more...

Fałtynowicz W. & Jaśkiewicz M. (2023): Nowe stanowiska Evernia divaricata (L.) Ach. w zachodniej Polsce [New localities of Evernia divaricata (L.) Ach. in western Poland] - Steciana, 27(1): 3–5

[in Polish with English abstract: ] A new locality of a rare fruticose lichen species Evernia divaricata in the western part of Poland was found in the vicinity of two cities: Gubin and Twardogóra. Single specimens of this epiphytic lichen, grew on larch and birch. The thalli were healthy and well developed. Evernia divaricata is under strict legal protection and considered an endangered species in Poland (the CR category in the „Red List of Polish Lichens”). In the last dozen or so … Read more...

Díaz-Escandón D., Tagirdzhanova G., Vanderpool D., Allen C.C.G., Aptroot A., Češka O., Hawksworth D.L., Huereca A., Knudsen K., Kocourková J., Lücking R., Resl P. & Spribille T. (2022): Genome-level analyses resolve an ancient lineage of symbiotic ascomycetes - Current Biology, 32: 5209–5218

Ascomycota account for about two-thirds of named fungal species. Over 98% of known Ascomycota belong to the Pezizomycotina, including many economically important species as well as diverse pathogens, decomposers, and mutualistic symbionts. Our understanding of Pezizomycotina evolution has until now been based on sampling traditionally well-defined taxonomic classes. However, considerable diversity exists in undersampled and uncultured, putatively early-diverging lineages, and the effect of these … Read more...

Xue X.-D., Jiang S.-H. & Ren Q. (2023): Fouragea gyrophorica sp. nov. from China, with morphological and phylogenetic evidence - Bryologist, 126(2): 167–173

A new species Fouragea gyrophorica is described from China. It is most similar to F. vegae, but differs by its sparsely to densely branched apothecia, and it often has an obvious prothallus, and the presence of gyrophoric acid detected by TLC. This is the first report that Fouragea contains lichen substances. An analysis of its relationships based on molecular phylogeny is given. A world key to the species of Fouragea is also presented. Key words: Lichenized fungi, taxonomy, Opegraphaceae, foliicolous. Read more...

de Lange P.J., Blanchon D.J., Marshall A.J. & Schmid L.M.H. (2023): Lepra erythrella (Pertusariaceae) – a new addition to the lichenized mycobiota of the Aotearoa / New Zealand archipelago - Український ботанічний журнал [Ukrainian Botanical Journal], 80(1): 94–97

An investigation of the fl ora, mycobiota and lichenized mycobiota associated with the endemic Aotearoa / New Zealand plant genus Lophomyrtus (Myrtaceae) revealed a specimen of Lepra erythrella (Pertusariaceae). Lepra erythrella, though briefl y mentioned in a paper documenting the results of that Lophomyrtus study, has not yet been formally admitted into the lichenized mycobiota of Aotearoa / New Zealand. Th erefore, to complete that process in this paper, we provide a description based … Read more...

Sellers H.L., Vargas Zesati S.A., Elmendorf S.C., Locher A., Oberbauer S.F., Tweedie C.E., Witharana C. & Hollister R.D. (2023): Can plot-level photographs accurately estimate tundra vegetation cover in northern Alaska? - Remote Sensing, 15(8): 1972 [24 p.]

Plot-level photography is an attractive time-saving alternative to field measurements for vegetation monitoring. However, widespread adoption of this technique relies on efficient workflows for post-processing images and the accuracy of the resulting products. Here, we estimated relative vegetation cover using both traditional field sampling methods (point frame) and semi-automated classification of photographs (plot-level photography) across thirty 1 m2 plots near Utqiaġvik, Alaska, from 2012 to … Read more...

Filimonov A., Luzina O., Gatilov Y. & Salakhutdinov N. (2023): Regioselectivity amination of usnic acid by ammonia in water - Molbank, 2023(2): M1618 [6 p.]

Usnic acid is a well-known secondary lichen metabolite exhibiting a broad spectrum of biological activity. Previously it was shown that the reaction of usnic acid with various amines resulted in enamine-bond formation instead of the C(11)=O carbonyl group. Enamines obtained have a pronounced biological activity. In this work, we have shown that the reaction of usnic acid with ammonia can be regioselective if the solvent is replaced by water. The regioselectivity of that reaction depends on temperature … Read more...
