Thakur M., Shrikhandia S.P.P. & Kumar V. (2022): A lichens-mediated mechanism for environmental biodeterioration - Air, Soil and Water Research, 15: 1‒10

As mediators in soil formation, lichens play an essential role in the physical and biological formation of the natural environment. A recent study showed that they are capable of biodegrading stone substrates in a little amount of time, despite being excluded in a geological setting. Many species, mainly those able to produce an oxalate at the thallus-substratum interface, can alter the surface, affecting it chemically. The oxalate remains a noticeable increase even after the lichen has faded, … Read more...

Ashraf A., Habib K. & Khalid A.N. (2022): A new pruinose lichen species in genus Lobothallia (Megasporaceae, lichen forming Ascomycota) from Pakistan - Acta Botanica Brasilica, 36: e2021abb0225 [8 p.]

A new species in the genus Lobothallia (Megasporaceae, lichenized ascomycetes), from Margalla Hills, Pakistan, is described and illustrated here under the name Lobothallia densipruinosa. It is characterized by contiguous, clustered, densely pruinose dark olive apothecia, conidia 6-10 µm long, and large areoles and lobes. Phylogenetic analysis based on ITS-nrDNA sequencing placed our species relative to L. pruinosa. Descriptions and images of the new species are provided, as well as a key for the … Read more...

Phraphuchamnong P., Nelsen M.P., Distefano I., Mercado-Díaz J.A., Parnmen S., Rangsiruji A., Buaruang K., Lücking R. & Lumbsch H.T. (2022): A new species of Megalaria (Ramalinaceae, Ascomycota) from Thailand, and recognition of subgenus Catillochroma - MycoKeys, 93: 149–163

Tropical regions harbor a substantial diversity of lichenized fungi, but face numerous threats to their persistence, often even before previously unknown species have been described and their evolutionary relationships have been elucidated. Megalaria (Ramalinaceae) is a lichen-forming genus of fungi that produces crustose thalli, and includes a number of lineages occupying tropical rain forests; however, taxonomic and phylogenetic work on this clade is limited. Here we leverage both morphological … Read more...

The genus Lithographa and the species L. tesserata are reported for the first time for Japan. The species was collected on siliceous rocks in mountain areas of Hokkaido.

Characteristic features of the species based on the Japanese material, distribution, comparison with other species of the genus are provided. In addition, a short description of a specimen … Read more...

The revealed lichen diversity of the proposed protected area Motornoe-Zaostrovje counts 452 species, including 400 lichens, 34 lichenicolous fungi, four facultatively lichenicolous fungi, and 14 non-lichenized saprobic fungi. Micarea synotheoides and Tremella hypocenomycis are new to Russia; Rhizocarpon sublavatum is new to European Russia; Absconditella celata, Biatora albidula, Cyphobasidium hypogymniicola, Karschia talcophila, Micarea melanobola, Pyrenula laevigata, Sclerococcum microsporum, Sphinctrina … Read more...

Kuznetsova E.S., Dudov S.V. & Ryabenko O.I. (2022): New data on diversity of lichens and lichenicolous fungi of the Amur Region and the Russian Far East - Новости систематики низших растений [Novosti sistematiki nizshikh rastenii] / Novitates systematicae plantarum non vascularium, 56(2): 357–370

The lichen biota of the Amur Region (southern Russian Far East) was studied in the course of several geobotanical expeditions. In total 38 species of lichens and three lichenicolous fungi are reported for the first time for the Amur Region. Among them four species (Fulgidea oligospora, Peltigera frippii, Psora globifera, and Rhizoplaca subdiscrepans) are new to the Russian Far East and nine more — to the southern Russian Far East. Four and 38 species are new to the Zeya Reserve and Tokinsko-Stanovoy … Read more...

Frolov I.V., Evdokimov G.S. & Kataeva O.A. (2022): Calogaya elvebakkiana (Teloschistaceae), a new combination and a new lichen species to Russia - Новости систематики низших растений [Novosti sistematiki nizshikh rastenii] / Novitates systematicae plantarum non vascularium, 56(2): 405–412

Caloplaca elvebakkiana is a rare lichen from the family Teloschistaceae known only from Svalbard. Due to lack of molecular data, it still does not have a certain generic affiliation in the current taxonomy of Teloschistaceae, remaining within an unsorted pile of species called “Caloplaca s. l.”. Here we present two new records of the species from Russia — from Wrangel Island and the southeastern part of the Chukotka Peninsula. On the base of two nrITS sequences obtained from the fresh material, … Read more...

Baugh M & Leavitt S. (2022): Investigating potential factors influencing shifting lichen distributions—a case study of the maritime sunburst lichen (Xanthoria parietina) on a university campus in the Great Basin - Evansia, 39(3): 115–122

There are growing numbers of lichens observed outside their expected distributions. A recent discovery of Xanthoria parietina in Provo, Utah, USA is added to that list. Other individuals of this species have been noted in inland western United States, but this specimen was believed to be the first sighting of X. parietina in the Great Basin. Herbaria records were investigated for distribution data for other collections of X. parietina outside of their typical habitat. The identity of this unexpected … Read more...
