phytosociology; Greenland; Arctic; numerous lichens listed [in German with English summary: ] Dryas integrifolia is in the North American Arctic a very common species occurring in many different habitats. This paper presents a preliminary survey of the vegetation types con taining Dryas integrifolia in the Uummannaq district, Northwest Greenland. Species richness and biodiversity are dealt with. With inclusion of the cryptogams many vegetation types with Dryas integrifolia show more than 60 … Read more...

Lavoie A., Collin J., Gagnon J., Brinker S.R., Brodo I.M., Roy C., Anderson F., McMullin R.T. & Huereca A. (2024): Additions to the lichens, allied fungi and lichenicolous fungi of Québec, Canada, with emphasis on the area below the 50 th parallel, Opuscula Philolichenum, 23: 82–112

Records of forty-eight new or noteworthy lichens, allied fungi or lichenicolous fungi from Québec are presented. The majority of specimens were collected during opportunistic field visits and inventories conducted between 2014 and 2023. Additionally, we include previously undocumented specimens, either collected in earlier years or more recently, that have not yet been reported or have been mentioned only once in the literature. The species Cercidospora epipolytropa, Leptorhaphis lucida, Naetrocymbe … Read more...

Zuo S.-Y., Xiong L.-S., Yuan Q., Chen G.-H., Yang R., Wang L.-S., Jiang C.-L., Wang X.-Y. & Jiang Y. (2025): Leifsonia stereocauli sp. nov., isolated from Stereocaulon tomentosum Fr. lichen, Current Microbiology, 82: 60 [8 p.]

Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, yellow-pigmented, catalase-positive, oxidase-positive, non-motile with no flagella and irregularly rod-shaped, denominated strain YIM 134122T, was isolated from a Stereocaulon tomentosum Fr. lichen gathered on Baima Snow Mountain in Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China. The novel strain grew at pH 6.0–8.0 (optimum, pH 7.0–7.2), 4–35 ℃ (optimum,25–35 ℃), and with the existence of 0–10% (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0–2%). Phylogenetic analysis … Read more...

Martínez-Richart A.I., Zolles A., Oettel J., Petermann J.S., Essl F. & Lapin K. (2025): A review of structural and functional connectivity studies in European forests, Landscape Ecology, 40: 10 [21 p.]

Context: Ecological connectivity is key to mitigating global change impacts such as isolation and climate change effects on populations, especially in historically modified biomes such as European forests. The term connectivity is widely used in conservation, but the multiple methods for measuring it, as well as the scales and objects of study to which it can be applied, make it difficult to understand and compare research results. Objectives: Our aim was to enhance the understanding of connectivity … Read more...

Bhatt U., Singh H., Kalaji H.M., Strasser R.J. & Soni V. (2024): Decoding the physicochemical basis of resurrection: the journey of lichen Flavoparmelia caperata through prolonged water scarcity to full rehydration, BMC Plant Biology, 24: 1268 [16 p.]

Desiccation tolerance is a complex phenomenon observed in the lichen Flavoparmelia ceparata. To understand the reactivation process of desiccated thalli, completely dried samples were rehydrated. The rehydration process of this lichen occurs in two phases. The frst phase, characterized by rapid rehydration, involves the conversion of nonfunctional reaction centers (RCs) into functional PSII RCs, and the accumulation of ROS along with the increment in SOD antioxidant enzyme. These coordinated … Read more...

Cronvall E., Adler S., Sandström P. & Skarin A. (2025): Quantifying winter forage resources for reindeer: Developing a method to estimate ground lichen cover and biomass at a local scale, Trees, Forests and People, 19: 100768 [11 p.]

Boreal forests serve as the primary winter range for reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) in Sweden, where ground lichens constitute the main food source. Lichen-rich forests have declined drastically, and modern forest practices, along with other land uses, impact both the quantity and availability of lichen. The resulting reduction in lichen has serious consequences for reindeer and Sami reindeer husbandry. Consequently, robust methods for mapping and measuring lichen are highly sought after. We developed … Read more...

Choudhir G., Kumar S., Shahid M., Shamsi A. & Islam A. (2025): Telomeric RNA quadruplexes as targets for cancer prevention: The therapeutic potential of agonodepsides, Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 23: 100454 [9 p.]

Background: Cancer remains an awful challenge, despite years of targeting proteins to control its relentless growth and spread. Fungal metabolites, a treasure of natural chemicals, offer a glimmer of hope. Telomeres, the cellular “caps,” are a focal point in cancer research. This study explores the potential of stabilizing Telomeric Repeats-containing RNA G-quadruplex (TERRA G4) structures within telomeres. This stabilization could block telomerase, the enzyme that repairs telomeres, … Read more...

Farkas E. (2024): Key to genera and generic groups of lichen-forming fungi in Hungary, Acta Biologica Plantarum Agriensis, 12(1): 35–71

A key to treat 269 genera of lichen-forming fungi including 940 species from Hungary is compiled. The key sorts lichens according to traditionally distinguished morphological groups based on vegetative and reproductive structures, fruticose, foliose and crustose thalli with apothecia and perithecia. Elongated and stalked reproductive structures are also distinguished, as well as the type of photobiont (cyanobacterium, green alga) is considered. Due to recent phylogenetical-taxonomic studies … Read more...

Khac H.N., Truong L.D., Hanh N.T.H., Lien N.T.H., Binh N.Q., Giao V.T.P., Tinh P.H. & Thu B.T. (2025): A preliminary assessment of lichens in different landscapes of Hanoi, Vietnam, Diversity, 17(1): 27 [11 p.]

Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam, with a total area of 3359.82 km2 and a population of about 8.4 million people. This is one of the most developed cities in Vietnam, with an urbanization rate of 60%. In this study, we investigated how developed and urbanized areas may influence lichen diversity in Hanoi. The lichen community from Hanoi was studied using three tree stands from each of five landscapes: natural vegetation, industrial parks, urban and rural areas, and roadsides. Lichen species and their … Read more...
