Ametrano C.G., Lumbsch H.T., Di Stefano I., Sangvichien E., Muggia L. & Grewe F. (2022): Should we hail the Red King? Evolutionary consequences of a mutualistic lifestyle in genomes of lichenized ascomycetes, Ecology and Evolution, 12: e8471 [16 p.]

The Red Queen dynamic is often brought into play for antagonistic relationships. However, the coevolutionary effects of mutualistic interactions, which predict slower evolution for interacting organisms (Red King), have been investigated to a lesser extent. Lichens are a stable, mutualistic relationship of fungi and cyanobacteria and/ or algae, which originated several times independently during the evolution of fungi. Therefore, they represent a suitable system to investigate the coevolutionary … URL EN Read more...

Hofmeister J., Vondrák J., Ellis C., Coppins B., Sanderson N., Malíček J., Palice Z., Acton A., Svoboda S. & Gloor R. (2022): High and balanced contribution of regional biodiversity hotspots to epiphytic and epixylic lichen species diversity in Great Britain, Biological Conservation, 266:109443 [6 p.]

We surveyed epiphytic and epixylic lichens in eleven 1-hectare forest plots located in representative old-forest stands in four distinct regions of Great Britain that are well-known centres of lichen biodiversity. We aimed to analyse the patterns of lichen biodiversity in these important biodiversity hotspots from a British perspective. In total, we recorded 550 lichen species in 11 ha, i.e. 73% of the presently known British epiphytic and epixylic lichen flora. Species richness per site was regionally … URL EN PDF Read more...

Kidron G.J. & Kronenfeld R. (2022): Dew and fog as possible evolutionary drivers? The expansion of crustose and fruticose lichens in the Negev is respectively mainly dictated by dew and fog, Planta, 255:32 [12 p.]

Main conclusion: The expansion of crustose lichens in the Negev is principally determined by dew and that of fruticose lichens by fog. Crustose and fruticose lichens are largely adapted to dew and fog, respectively. Although crustose and fruticosea lichens were shown to efciently use dew and fog, the link between their expansion and the occurrence of dew and fog has never been shown experimentally. This is also the case for the Negev Desert Highlands, where (i) dewless habitats were not inhabited … URL EN Read more...

Gheza G., Vallese C. & Nascimbene J. (2022): Enhancing lichen inventories in Italy: new records of Cladonia, Nephroma and Peltigera from the mountains of Lombardia, Borziana, 3: 5–17

We report 510 records of 58 species belonging to the three lichen genera Cladonia P. Browne, Nephroma Ach. and Peltigera Willd. from 57 sites in the Prealps and Alps of Lombardia (Northern Italy). Four mountain sectors were investigated: the Orobic Prealps and Alps (19 sites), the Brescia Prealps (9 sites), the Adamello massif (8 sites), and the Rhaetian Alps (22 sites). Cladonia was represented by 39 species (415 records), Nephroma by 2 species (7 records), Peltigera by 17 species (88 records). … URL EN Read more...

McCune B., Yang S., Jovan S. & Root H.T. (2022): Climate and epiphytic macrolichen communities in the Four Corners region of the U.S.A., Bryologist, 125(1): 70–90

We used data on epiphytic lichen communities in 1215, 0.4-ha plots in the Southwest U.S.A. collected by the Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program to analyze relationships with climate. We sought the climate variables most strongly associated with differences in epiphytic macrolichen communities and described the nature of those relationships, including diversity, community composition, and patterns in individual species. Five lichen community groups were strongly related to temperature … URL EN Read more...

Rutherford R.D. & Rebertus A. (2022): A habitat analysis and influence of scale in lichen communities on granitic rock, Bryologist, 125(1): 43–60

Environmental factors in saxicolous lichen communities are scale dependent, yet the influence of scale is not often specifically addressed in ecological studies. This study examined three scales [micro (cm), meso (meters–10s of meters), macro (km)] in granite rock communities and compared species assemblages and disturbance regimes in Lake Superior shoreline and inland habitats. Percent cover of lichens and environmental variables were measured in 1280 20320-cm plots across 16 sites (8 lakeshore and … URL EN Read more...

Ladd D. & Morse C.A. (2022): A new species of Phaeocalicium (Mycocaliciaceae) on black walnut in central North America, Bryologist, 125(1): 36–42

Phaeocalicium atenitikon is described new to science, growing on twigs of Juglans nigra (black walnut) in central North America. The species is characterized by small ascomata; an exciple of brown, periclinally arranged hyphae; notably small, pigmented, two-celled ascospores with pale septa; and its substrate and distribution. These are the first records of a corticolous Phaeocalicium from intermountain North America south of the Great Lakes region. Differences among similar species are discussed, … URL EN Read more...

Di Nuzzo L., Giordani P., Benesperi R., Brunialti G., Fačkovcová Z., Frati L., Nascimbene J., Ravera S., Vallese C., Paoli L. & Bianchi E. (2022): Microclimatic alteration after logging affects the growth of the endangered lichen Lobaria pulmonaria, Plants, 11(3): 295 [12 p.]

Microclimatic conditions are important in determining lichen distribution at small scale, and may determine whether the species persist when the surrounding environmental conditions have drastically changed. This is the case with forest management, since a sudden variation of microclimatic conditions (increase of solar radiation, temperature, wind and a reduction of humidity) may occur after logging. In this study, the combined effect of forest logging and microclimatic conditions on the growth probabilities … URL EN Read more...

Pozo-Antonio J.S., Rivas T., López de Silanes M.E., Ramil A. & López A.J. (2022): Dual combination of cleaning methods (scalpel, biocide, laser) to enhance lichen removal from granite, International Biodeterioration and Biodegradation, 168: 105373 [10 p.]

Three cleaning methods, namely i) a commercial biocide applied by brush with the subsequent extraction of organic remains by a rod, ii) a scalpel or iii) a Nd:YVO4 laser at 355 nm, single application as well as paired combinations, were tested for removing from a granite two different crustose lichens: Diploschistes scruposus (lighter with a clearly distinguished thallus) and Polysporina simplex (darker with a poorly developed thallus). In addition to the removal rate, side effects such as melting … URL EN Read more...

Sosa-Quintero J., Godínez-Alvarez H., Camargo-Ricalde S.L., Gutíerrez-Gutíerrez M., Huber-Sannwald E., Jiménez-Aguilar A., Maya-Delgado Y., Mendoza-Aguilar D., Montaño N.M., Pando-Moreno M. & Rivera-Aguilar V. (2022): Biocrusts in Mexican deserts and semideserts: A review of their species composition, ecology, and ecosystem function, Journal of Arid Environments, 199: 104712 [13 p.]

Biocrusts are multifunctional elements in deserts that have been widely studied in Australia, China, and the USA. However, biocrust research in Mexico have also increased in the last two decades. Mexico has deserts (Chihuahuan and Sonoran) and semideserts (Querétaro and Tehuacán) with particular environmental characteristics that likely have different effects on biocrust structure and function. We synthesize studies on biocrusts performed in Mexican deserts and semideserts in the last 24 years … URL EN Read more...
