Greiser C., Ehrlén J., Luoto M., Meineri E., Merinero S., Willman B. & Hylander K. (2021): Warm range margin of boreal bryophytes and lichens not directly limited by temperatures, Journal of Ecology, 109: 3724–3736

Species at their warm range margin are potentially threatened by higher temperatures, but may persist in microrefugia. Whether such microsites occur due to more suitable microclimate or due to lower biotic pressure from, for example competitive species, is still not fully resolved. We examined whether boreal bryophytes and lichens show signs of direct climate limitation, that is whether they perform better in cold and/or humid microclimates at their warm range margin. We transplanted a moss, a … Read more...

Li X., Sun J., Zhang H., Tan H., Hui R., Qi J., Zhang P. & Ward N.D. (2023): Warming decreases desert ecosystem functioning by altering biocrusts in drylands, Journal of Applied Ecology, 60(12): 2676-2687

Abstract Warming and precipitation fluctuations are changing desert ecosystems in global drylands. However, the effects of climate change on keystone species such as cryptogamic biocrust in drylands remain relatively under-investigated, even though biocrusts play a vital role in desert ecosystems. We conducted a long-term experiment (14 years) to simulate the responses of two main types of biocrusts to warming coupled with reduction in precipitation that was achieved by open-top chambers (OTCs) … Read more...

Maestre F.T., Escolar C., Bardgett R.D., Dungait J.A.J., Gozalo B. & Ochoa V. (2015): Warming reduces the cover and diversity of biocrust-forming mosses and lichens, and increases the physiological stress of soil microbial communities in a semi-arid Pinus halepensis plantation, Frontiers in Microbiology, 6: 865 [12 p.]

Soil communities dominated by lichens and mosses (biocrusts) play key roles in maintaining ecosystem structure and functioning in drylands worldwide. However, few studies have explicitly evaluated how climate change-induced impacts on biocrusts affect associated soil microbial communities. We report results from a field experiment conducted in a semiarid Pinus halepensis plantation, where we setup an experiment with two factors: cover of biocrusts (low [50%]), and warming (control versus a ∼2°C … Read more...

Riedl H. (1977): Was ist Lindauopsis A. Zahlbruckner?, Sydowia, 28: 166–170

Lindauopsis A. ZAHLBR. is not a parasite on lichens like Caloplaca callopisma as ZAHLBRUCKNER (1906) maintained, but structures of a hymenial layer degenerated through the competition with an overgrown thallus of a different lichen-species. Paraphyses tend to form sporelike ends, while asci are much narrowed and produce only 1 or 2 spores, becoming paraphysis-like in the parts not containing spores. There are also intermediates between asci and paraphyses. The type specimen of Lindauopsis … Read more...

Giovanetti M., Máguas C. & Munzi S. (2022): Washboarding: are man-managed honeybees performing a vestigial activity fostered by cryptogams?, Journal of Apicultural Science, 66(2): 179–197

A common view is that honeybees are mostly managed by beekeepers for commercial purposes or as a hobby, especially in Europe. This misconception is probably due to the lack of systematic studies on wild colonies of honeybees in Europe in comparison to other regions of the world. Since we are used to considering this species as “domesticated”, we may be induced to disregard activities not distinctly linked with colony survival, reproduction, or productivity. Washboarding is one of them in … Read more...

Aptroot A., de Beer R., van de Sande C., de Boer D. & van der Goes H. (2010): Wat leveren verschillende inventarisatiemethoden op de droge heide op? Een voorbeeld: de Sallandse Heuvelrug [Different sampling methods compared on the heathlands in Salland], De Levende Natuur, 111(5): 214–221

[in Dutch with English summary: ] The heathlands in Salland, mainly known for the last Dutch population of the Grouse, has a considerable floristic value. This was found with a detailed sampling method. The results of various different sampling methods and intensities are compared. Grid-based methods failed to find most of the rarities. Even after 280 regularly dispersed vegetation relevées were made, less than 6% of the Red Listed species present had been found. Read more...

Chiva S., Dumitru C., Bordenave C.D. & Barreno E. (2021): Watanabea green microalgae (Trebouxiophyceae) inhabiting lichen holobiomes: Watanabea lichenicola sp. nova, Phycological Research, 69(4): 226–236

Microalgae of the genus Watanabea are widely distributed as free living in soil/subaerial and aquatic habitats. In this study, two Watanabea spp. were isolated from lichen thalli of Buellia zoharyi collected on biocrusts in the Iberian Peninsula and the Canary Islands. To ascertain their taxonomic position and phylogenetic relationships within the genus Watanabea, morphological observations were performed using light and confocal microscopy, combined with molecular analyses based on the phylogeny … Read more...
