Zaitsev V.A., Maksimova D.A., Smirnov Y.V. & Belotelov N.V. (2021): Home range use by a male Siberian Musk Deer (Moschus moschiferus L.) in Central Sikhote-Alin, Biology Bulletin, 48(9): 1631-1649

Movements of male musk deer in coniferous forests of the Sikhote-Alin Biosphere Reserve were studied in 2014–2015 to identify relationships between the home range use and environmental factors and the social environment. The methodology included multiple-day snow tracking, visual observations of musk deer individuals accustomed to humans, radiotracking, and habitat analysis. GIS technologies and mathematical data processing were used as well. The following home range usage variant was identified: … Read more...

Lasso E., Matheus-Arbeláez P., Gallery R.E., Garzón-López C., Cruz M., Leon-Garcia I.V., Aragón L., Ayarza-Páez A. & Yuste J.C. (2021): Homeostatic response to three years of experimental warming suggests high intrinsic natural resistance in the páramos to warming in the short term, Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 9: 615006

Páramos, tropical alpine ecosystems, host one of the world’s most diverse alpine floras, account for the largest water reservoirs in the Andes, and some of the largest soil carbon pools worldwide. It is of global importance to understand the future of this extremely carbon-rich ecosystem in a warmer world and its role on global climate feedbacks. This study presents the result of the first in situ warming experiment in two Colombian páramos using Open-Top Chambers. We evaluated the response to … Read more...

(2021): Identification of novel bioactive compounds, neurosporalol 1 and 2 from an endolichenic fungus, Neurospora ugadawe inhabited in the lichen host, Graphis tsunodae Zahlbr. from mangrove ecosystem in Puttalam Lagoon, Sri Lanka, Asian Journal of Chemistry, 33(6): 1425-1432

Endolichenic fungi (ELF) have been recognized as a promising source of bioactive secondary metabolites. Sri Lanka, a biodiversity hotspot, harbours a remarkable diversity in mangrove ecosystems. In the present study, endolichenic fungi obtained from mangrove lichens of Puttalam lagoon were studied for their secondary metabolites. An endolichenic fungus, Neurospora ugadawe, isolated from the lichen host Graphis tsunodae Zahlbr. was identified up to the species level. Secondary metabolites of N. ugadawe … Read more...

Payandi-Rolland D., Shirokova L.S., Labonne F., Bénézeth P. & Pokrovsky O.S. (2021): Impact of freeze-thaw cycles on organic carbon and metals in waters of permafrost peatlands, Chemosphere, 279: 130510

Despite the importance of soil and surface waters freezing in permafrost landscapes, the behaviour of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), nutrients and metals during periodic freeze-thaw cycles (FTC) remains poorly known. The on-going climate warming is likely to increase the frequency of FTC in continental aquatic settings, which could modify the chemical composition of waters. In this study, we conducted 9 repetitive cycles of overnight freezing (−20 °C) and 5 h thawing (4 °C) in the laboratory … Read more...

Boggess L.M., Harrison G.R. & Bishop G. (2021): Impacts of rock climbing on cliff vegetation: A methods review and best‐practices, Applied Vegetation Science, 24(2): e12583

Questions Cliff vegetation is diverse, understudied, and threatened by increased human disturbance. The growing popularity of rock climbing heightens the need for science‐based management to balance recreational use and conservation of cliff ecosystems. What has existing research revealed about the impact of climbing on vegetation? Are the conclusions consistent across the literature? If not, how can research methods be streamlined and standardized to produce more consistent results and reliable … Read more...

Farkas E., Lőkös L., Varga N. & Veres K. (2021): In memoriam Klára Verseghy (1930–2020), Studia Botanica Hungarica, 52: 17-40

Dr Klára Verseghy (1930–2020), a student of the famous Hungarian lichenologist Ödön Szatala, was working as the curator of the lichen collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest between 1958 and 1985. She did a great development in the lichen herbarium arranging and registering the big collections of F. Fóriss, V. Gyelnik and Ö. Szatala in the Zahlbruckner’s system. Separating the type specimens she prepared also the type catalogue of the lichen collection in 1964. Approximately … Read more...

Aggarwal S. (2021): Indian dye yielding plants: Efforts and opportunities, Natural Resources Forum, 45(1): 63-86

The present review article deals with the information on the dye‐yielding plants of India. Dyes are intensively coloured compounds that are applied to a substrate such as fibre, paper, cosmetics, hair, etc. to give colours and can be extracted from the roots, fruits/berries, bark, leaves, flowers, and stem/wood, fungi, and lichens by various processes of extractions. In addition to their dye‐yielding characteristics, many of these plants possess medicinal values and can be used for multiple … Read more...

Fortuna L., González A.G., Tretiach M. & Pokrovsky O.S. (2021): Influence of secondary metabolites on surface chemistry and metal adsorption of a devitalized lichen biomonitor, Environmental Pollution, 273: 116500

Despite the broad use of lichens as biomonitors of airborne trace elements, the surface chemistry and metal adsorption parameters of these organisms are still poorly known. The current investigation is aimed at (i) quantifying the acid-base surface properties and the first-order physical-chemical parameters of Cu2+ and Zn2+ adsorption of devitalized Pseudevernia furfuracea, a lichen commonly used in biomonitoring of airborne trace elements, and (ii) comparing the results with those available for … Read more...

Boonpeng C., Sangiamdee D., Noikrad S. & Boonpragob K. (2021): Influence of washing thalli on element concentrations of the epiphytic and epilithic lichen Parmotrema tinctorum in the tropic, Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 28: 9723-9730

To enhance the reliability of active biomonitoring of air pollution using lichens, we tested how a water-washing procedure influences element concentrations in lichens growing on bark and rock substrates. Thalli of the lichen Parmotrema tinctorum were collected from tree bark and sandstones from a relatively clean air site in Khao Yai National Park, Thailand. After dry cleaning, each thallus was divided equally: the first part was directly used for element analysis, and the second part was washed … Read more...
