Chahloul N., Khadhri A., Vannini A., Mendili M., Rayes A. & Loppi S. (2023): Selecting the species to be used in lichen transplant surveys of air pollution in Tunisia - Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 195: 570 [8 p.]

This study was undertaken with the aim of selecting one or more lichen species that are the most suitable for transplant-based surveys of air pollution in Tunisia, in areas where the local native lichen vegetation is scanty or missing at all. To this purpose, four epiphytic (tree inhabiting) lichen species (Evernia prunastri, Flavoparmelia caperata, Parmotrema perlatum, Ramalina farinacea) were collected from the Babouch forests, a remote and unpolluted area of NW Tunisia, and analyzed for their … Read more...

López de Silanes M.E., Paz-Bermúdez G., Carballal R. & Marques J. (2012): The genus Leptogium (Collemataceae, Ascomycotina) in mainland Portugal - Sydowia, 64(1): 67–102

A revision of the genus Leptogium occurring in mainland Portugal is presented based on collections of 24 out of the 25 species previously reported for the Portuguese territory. Inclusion of L. resupinans is based exclusively on recent literature reporting this species from southern Portugal. Anatomical, ecological and geographical data on these species is provided, as well as an identification key. Leptogium plicatile is here recorded for the first time in Portugal. Leptogium aragonii, L. cochleatum, … Read more...

Hurtado P., Aragón G., Martínez I., Mayrhofer H. & Prieto M. (2023): The epiphytic lichens on Fagus sylvatica in beech forests of Europe: towards an open and dynamic checklist - Mediterranean Botany, 44: e84299 [18 p.]

Beech forests are considered one of the most emblematic ecosystems in the temperate deciduous broadleaf forest biome and host a wide variety of specialised cryptogamic organisms such as epiphytic lichens. This checklist is the first compilation focused on the epiphytic lichen diversity occurring on Fagus sylvatica L. trees along Europe. The checklist is based on a literature search encompassing 137 studies. We report 683 lichen species differently distributed across 26 European countries. The reported … Read more...

Guttová A. (2022): Overený výskyt diskovky zakrivenej (Arctoparmelia incurva, Parmeliaceae) v prírodnej rezervácii Kamenné more (Štiavnické vrchy) [Verified occurrence of Arctoparmelia incurva (Parmeliaceae) in Nature Reserve Kamenné more (Štiavnické vrchy Mts)] - Bulletin Slovenskej botanickej spoločnosti, 144: 161–165

The blockfield within the Nature Reserve Kamenné more above the village of Vyhne (Štiavnické vrchy Mts) extends on the slopes of Kamenná Mt (elevation 502 m) in an altitude gradient from 360–500 m. It represents an island with the occurrence of boreal species in the middle of an area with a strong representation of thermophilic species. In 1987, Ivan Pišút recorded several noteworthy lichens, including boreal elements Arctoparmelia incurva and Melanelia stygia. This contribution provides … Read more...

Fickert T. (2020): Common Patterns and Diverging Trajectories in Primary Succession of Plants in Eastern Alpine Glacier Forelands - Diversity, 12(5): 191

This paper deals with the vegetation development in four glacier forelands, aligned along a distance of 250 km from West to East in the siliceous Eastern Central Alps. The study employs a chronosequence approach, which assumes a temporal sequence in vegetation development by spatially different sites regarding time since deglaciation. The chronosequences cover the area between Little Ice Age (LIA) maximum glacier extent around 1850, and the current glacier terminus. Despite some shortcomings, chronosequences … Read more...

Halici M., Kahraman Yiğit M., Bölükbaşı E. & Güllü M. (2023): New record and new species of lichenized fungal genus Candelariella Müll. Arg. in Antarctica - Polish Polar Research, 44(1): 69-83

Previously, only three Candelariella species were known from Antarctica: C. aurella, C. flava and C. vitellina. After morphologically and phylogenetically examining our collections on soil from James Ross Island, located in the north-east Antarctic Peninsula region, and Horseshoe Island, a small rocky island in Bourgeois Fjord, Marguerite Bay in the south-west Antarctic Peninsula, we describe the lichen species Candelariella ruzgarii as new to science. Sequences of the nrITS, mtSSU and RPB1 gene … Read more...

Paździora W., Podolak I., Grudzińska M., Paśko P., Grabowska K. & Galanty A. (2023): Critical assessment of the anti-inflammatory potential of usnic acid and its derivatives—A review - Life, 13(4): 1046 [14 p.]

Inflammation is a response of the organism to an external factor that disrupts its natural homeostasis, and it helps to eliminate the cause of tissue injury. However, sometimes the body’s response is highly inadequate and the inflammation may become chronic. Thus, the search for novel anti-inflammatory agents is still needed. One of the groups of natural compounds that attract interest in this context is lichen metabolites, with usnic acid (UA) as the most promising candidate. The compound reveals … Read more...

Скирина И.Ф. , Скирин Ф.В. & Родникова И.М. [Skirina I.F., Skirin F.V. & Rodnikova I.M.] (2023): Нуждающиеся в охране виды лишайников Приморского края Дальнего Востока России (к обновлению региональной Красной книги) [Lichen species in need of protection in Primorsky Krai of the Russian Far East (for the regional Red Data Book update)] - Биота и среда природных территорий [Biodiversity and environment of protected areas], 11(1): 61–72

[in Russian with English abstract: ] The list of lichen species in need of protection was revised for the new edition of the Red Data Book of Primorsky Krai. Changes in lichen taxonomy and additions to information on species ecology and distribution were taken into account. The updated list includes 56 lichen species. We justify the need to introduce 6 lichen species into the regional Red Data Book and exclude 16 lichen species. The following species are recommended to be included in the new … Read more...

Antonioni A., Govoni V., Brancaleoni L., Donà A., Granieri E., Bergamini M., Gerdol R. & Pugliatti M. (2023): Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and air pollutants in the province of Ferrara, northern Italy: An ecological study - International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 20(8): 5591 [13 p.]

The etiopathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is still largely unknown, but likely depends on gene–environment interactions. Among the putative sources of environmental exposure are air pollutants and especially heavy metals. We aimed to investigate the relationship between ALS density and the concentration of air pollution heavy metals in Ferrara, northern Italy. An ecological study was designed to correlate the map of ALS distribution and that of air pollutants. All ALS cases diagnosed … Read more...

Khodosovtsev A. & Kuzemko A. (2023): First records of Anema nodulosum, A. tumidulum, and Pyrenocarpon thelostomum (Lichinales, Lichinaceae) in Ukraine and a contribution to Collematetea cristati communities - Український ботанічний журнал [Ukrainian Botanical Journal], 80(1): 98–107

Three new for Ukraine species, Anema tumidulum, A. nodulosum, and Pyrenocarpon thelostomum (Lichinales, Lichinaceae), are reported. They were found in the Dnister Canyon, on the S and W exposed cliff surfaces where water tracks formed 'a black zone' of the Collematetea cristati class. Other species forming these communities are Anema decipiens, Psorotichia schaereri, Peccania coralloides, Thallinocarpon nigritellum, Thyrea confusa, and Verrucaria nigrescens s. l. The analyzed dataset included three … Read more...
