Łubek A., Kukwa M., Jaroszewicz B. & Czortek P. (2021): Composition and specialization of the lichen functional traits in a primeval forest—does ecosystem organization level matter?, Forests, 12(4): 485 [23 p.]

Current trends emphasize the importance of the examination of the functional composition of lichens, which may provide information on the species realized niche diversity and community assembly processes, thus enabling one to understand the specific adaptations of lichens and their interaction with the environment. We analyzed the distribution and specialization of diverse morphological, anatomical and chemical (lichen secondary metabolites) traits in lichen communities in a close-to-natural forest … Read more...

Benitez G.N., Aguilar G.D. & Blanchon D. (2021): Spatial distribution of lichens in Metrosideros excelsa in northern New Zealand urban forests, Diversity, 13(4): 170 [15 p.]

The spatial distribution of corticolous lichens on the iconic New Zealand pōhutukawa (Metrosideros excelsa) tree was investigated from a survey of urban parks and forests across the city of Auckland in the North Island of New Zealand. Lichens were identified from ten randomly selected trees at 20 sampling sites, with 10 sites classified as coastal and another 10 as inland sites. Lichen data were correlated with distance from sea, distance from major roads, distance from native forests, mean tree … Read more...

Suno H., Machida M., Dohi T. & Ohmura Y. (2021): Quantum chemical calculation studies toward microscopic understanding of retention mechanism of Cs radioisotopes and other alkali metals in lichens, Scientific Reports, 11: 8228 [13 p.]

We evaluate stability of cesium (Cs) and other alkali-metal cation complexes of lichen metabolites in both gas and aqueous phases to discuss why lichens can retain radioactive Cs in the thalli over several years. We focus on oxalic acid, (+)-usnic acid, atranorin, lecanoric acid, and protocetraric acid, which are common metabolite substances in various lichens including, e.g., Flavoparmelia caperata and Parmotrema tinctorum retaining Cs in Fukushima, Japan. By performing quantum chemical calculations, … Read more...

Ellis C.J. & Eaton S. (2021): Microclimates hold the key to spatial forest planning under climate change: Cyanolichens in temperate rainforest, Global Change Biology, 27:1915–1926

There is deepening interest in how microclimatic refugia can reduce species threat, if suitable climatic conditions are maintained locally, despite global climate change. Microclimates are a particularly important consideration in topographically heterogeneous landscapes, while in some habitats, such as forests and woodlands, microclimates are also extremely labile and affected by management practices that could consequently be used to offset climate change impact. This study explored a conservation priority … Read more...

(2021): Niche partitioning of microbial communities at an ancient vitrified hillfort: implications for vitrified radioactive waste disposal, Geomicrobiology Journal, 38(1): 36–56

Because microbes cannot be eliminated from radioactive waste disposal facilities, the consequences of bio-colonization must be understood. At a pre-Viking era vitrified hillfort, Broborg, Sweden, anthropogenic glass has been subjected to bio-colonization for over 1,500 years. Broborg is used as a habitat analogue for disposed radioactive waste glass to inform how microbial processes might influence long-term glass durability. Electron microscopy and DNA sequencing of surficial material from … Read more...

Sujetovienė G. & Česynaitė J. (2021): Assessment of air pollution at the indoor environment of a shooting range using lichens as biomonitors, Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part A, 84(7): 273–278

The aim of the study was to examine the changes in ecophysiological parameters and accumulation of heavy metals in lichens transplanted to a shooting-range environment. Thalli of the epiphytic lichen were transplanted from an unpolluted site to a shooting range. Chlorophyll a fluorescence, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), and damage to cell membranes in the lichen Evernia prunastri and Ramalina farinacea thalli were determined after 3 months exposure period indoors in a shooting … Read more...

Harikrishnan A., Veena V., Lakshmi B., Shanmugavalli R., Theres S., Prashantha C.N., Shah T., Oshin K., Togam R. & Nandi S. (2021): Atranorin, an antimicrobial metabolite from lichen Parmotrema rampoddense exhibited in vitro antibreast cancer activity through interaction with Akt activity, Journal of Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics, 39(4): 1248–1258

Atranorin (ATR), lichenized secondary metabolite and depside molecule with several biological potentials such as antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive, wound healing and photoprotective activities. Cytotoxic reports of ATR are documented in several cancer cells and in vivo models but its molecular interaction studies are poorly understood. Therefore, in this present investigation, we have used the in silico studies with biological validation of the molecular targets for … Read more...

Sulistyo B.P., Larsson K.-H., Haelewaters D. & Ryberg H. (2021): Multigene phylogeny and taxonomic revision of Atheliales s.l.: Reinstatement of three families and one new family, Lobuliciaceae fam. nov., Fungal Biology, 125: 239–255

Atheliales (Agaricomycetes, Basidiomycota) is an order mostly composed of corticioid fungi, containing roughly 100 described species in 20 genera. Members exhibit remarkable ecological diversity, including saprotrophs, ectomycorrhizal symbionts, facultative parasites of plants or lichens, and symbionts of termites. Ectomycorrhizal members are well known because they often form a major part of boreal and temperate fungal communities. However, Atheliales is generally understudied, and molecular … Read more...
