Boluda C.G. & Kitara N.N. (2024): Placopsis craterifera (Trapeliaceae, Lecanoromycetes), a new lichen species from alpine habitats on Mount Meru, Tanzania - The Lichenologist, 56(1): 15-20

During a field trip to the highlands of Mount Meru in Tanzania, two Placopsis specimens were collected. Morphological analyses showed a unique combination of characters not observed in any other published taxa within the genus. The specimens are characterized by their circular soralia, not confluent, crater-shaped, with a prominent white margin and coarse granular pinkish central soredia. Considering the morphological, geographical and genetic data, we propose the designation of a new species, Placopsis … Read more...

Aptroot A., Cáceres M.E.d.S. & Santos L.A.d. (2024): The taxonomy of sterile Arthoniaceae from Brazil: white crusts on overhanging tropical trees can be named - The Lichenologist, 56(1): 1-13

Twelve new lichen species are described in the family Arthoniaceae. All are sterile white crusts growing on overhanging trees (and one on living palm fronds) in ten different states in tropical Brazil. In the tropics, sterile crusts so far have been mostly disregarded. They are all characterized by their chemistry and morphology, often including pseudoisidia or soredia, but their phylogenetic relationships have been investigated with sequencing. The following species are described: Arthonia farinosorediata, … Read more...

McMullin R.T., Simon A.D.F., Brodo I.M., Wickham S.B., Bell-Doyon P., Kuzmina M. & Starzomski B.M. (2024): DNA barcoding aids in generating a preliminary checklist of the lichens and allied fungi of Calvert Island, British Columbia: Results from the 2018 Hakai Terrestrial BioBlitz - Biodiversity Data Journal, 12: e120292 [77 p.]

Background: Bioblitzes are a tool for the rapid appraisal of biodiversity and are particularly useful in remote and understudied regions and for understudied taxa. Lichens are an example of an often overlooked group, despite being widespread in virtually all terrestrial ecosystems and having many important ecological functions. New information: We report the lichens and allied fungi collected during the 2018 terrestrial bioblitz conducted on Calvert Island on the Central Coast of British Columbia, … Read more...

The trees are respectively, subendemic and endemic for the Balkan Peninsula. Comments on distribution and diversity of spe- cies are provided. A total of 78 species are reported. Two lichen species are reported for the first time from Bulgaria, Blastenia monticola and Hypogymnia laminisorediata. Lecanora cadubriae is confirmed from Bulgaria. The following species … Read more...

(2024): Evaluation of the antifungal and antiproliferative properties of the lichen Roccella tinctoria DC. Extracts and main components - Pharmaceutics, 16(3): 331 [22 p.]

In this work, phytochemical analysis on different extracts of Roccella tinctoria DC. was reported using different techniques with respect to the past. Twenty volatile and three non-volatile compounds were identified, some of which were found in this species for the first time. The methanolic extracts and their non-volatile components were then evaluated for their antitumor effects in cancerous A549 and Mz-ChA-1 cells and for their tolerability in non-cancerous BEAS-2B and H69 cells, showing IC50 … Read more...

Chen V.J., Smith G.D., Holden A. & Arft S. (2024): Dye analysis of a 17th-century Mattens workshop tapestry based on Raphael’s drawing, The Miraculous Draught of Fishes - Heritage, 7(3): 1221–1236

This paper describes the identification of dyes on fifty yarn samples from a tapestry created by the well-known 17th-century Flemish workshop of the Mattens family. The design of the tapestry is based on the first of ten drawings known as the Acts of the Apostles by the famed 16th-century Italian painter Raphael. The drawings were commissioned by Pope Leo X and translated into tapestries by Pieter van Aelst; these original tapestries are still in the collection of the Vatican Museums. The present … Read more...

(2024): Fungal diversity notes 1717–1817: taxonomic and phylogenetic contributions on genera and species of fungal taxa - Fungal Diversity, 124: 1–216

As the continuation of Fungal Diversity Notes series, the current paper is the 16th contribution to this series. A total of 103 taxa from seven classes in Ascomycota and Basidiomycota are included here. Of these 101 taxa, four new genera, 89 new species, one new combination, one new name and six new records are described in detail along with information of hosts and geographic distributions. The four genera newly introduced are Ascoglobospora, Atheliella, Rufoboletus and Tenuimyces. Newly described … Read more...

Zielman H.R. (2021): Bescherming van IJslands mos (Cetraria islandica) in Overijssel [Protection of Cetraria islandica in Overijssel (the Netherlands)] - Buxbaumiella, 120: 59–62

[in Dutch with English abstract: ] Cetraria islandica is known from three localities in the province of Overijssel. A survey initiated by the provincial government revealed that at two of them the population is at danger. The largest (Lemelerberg) population is managed by a nature conservation organization (Landschap Overijssel), the two smaller localities were not managed with a lichen conservation aim. In consultation with the landowner’s ecologist, at one site a simple fence was placed … Read more...

[in Dutch with English summary: ] During a BLWG-excursion to the estate Eerde, near Ommen, and its surrounding woods, a great number of rare lichens were found. Lecanactis abietina, a speciality on old beech trees, is not a rare species here. Furthermore, we found several Micarea and Porina species, of which P. byssophila is only known in the Netherlands since 2001. Bacidia circumspecta was supposed to be extinct in the Netherlands, so we were delighted to discover here a second recent locality … Read more...
