Knudsen K., Kocourková J., Hodková E. & Wang Y. (2021): Lichenological Notes 8: Acarospora fusca, Opuscula Philolichenum, 20: 19–24

The monographer A.H. Magnusson considered Acarospora fusca to be a member of the morphologically defined A. smaragdula group, most of whose members are now recognized in the phylogenetically circumscribed genus Myriospora. Recently A. fusca has been considered a synonym of M. rufescens. This study presents newly generated ITS, mtSSU and LSU sequences from the neotype of A. fusca that show the species does not match M. rufescens or Myriospora. Instead, the data support that A. fusca belongs to Acarospora … Read more...

Noh H.-J., Park Y., Hong S.G. & Lee Y.M. (2021): Diversity and physiological characteristics of Antarctic lichens-associated bacteria, Microorganisms, 9: 607 [15 p.]

The diversity of lichen-associated bacteria from lichen taxa Cetraria, Cladonia, Megaspora, Pseudephebe, Psoroma, and Sphaerophorus was investigated by sequencing of 16S rRNA gene amplicons. Physiological characteristics of the cultured bacterial isolates were investigated to understand possible roles in the lichen ecosystem. Proteobacteria (with a relative abundance of 69.7–96.7%) were mostly represented by the order Rhodospirillales. The 117 retrieved isolates were grouped into 35 phylotypes … Read more...

Micarea czarnotae and M. pseudomicrococca are reported as new to Sweden, and M. fallax is reported as new to Norway. Micarea laeta and M. melanobola are reported from Sweden for the first time since 1927 and 1892, respectively. Micarea fallax is reported from three new localities in Sweden. An updated identification key for the M. prasina group in Central and Northern Europe is provided. Read more...

Cecconi E., Fortuna L., Peplis M. & Tretiach M. (2021): Element accumulation performance of living and dead lichens in a large-scale transplant application, Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 28: 16214–16226

In bioaccumulation studies, sample devitalization through acid washing or oven drying is commonly applied to enhance the element accumulation efficiency of moss sample. Such aspect, however, has never been considered in biomonitoring surveys using lichens. In this study, the trace element accumulation performance of living (L) and dead (D) samples of the lichen Pseudevernia furfuracea was compared by a side-by-side transplanting at 40 sites in a large, mixed land use area of NE Italy for 8 weeks. … Read more...

da Silva A.V., de Oliveira A.J., Tanabe I.S.B., Silva J.V., da Silva Barros T.W., da Silva M.K., França P.H.B., Leite J., Putzke J., Montone R., de Oliveira V.M., Rosa L.H. & Duarte A.W.F. (2021): Antarctic lichens as a source of phosphate‑solubilizing bacteria, Extremophiles, 25: 181–191

In association with lichens, bacteria can play key roles in solubilizing sources of inorganic phosphates that are available in the environment. In this study, the potential of bacteria isolated from 15 Antarctic lichen samples for phosphate solubilization was investigated. From 124 bacteria tested, 66 (53%) were positive for phosphate solubilization in solid NBRIP medium, with a higher prevalence of Pseudomonas, followed by Caballeronia and Chryseobacterium. Most of the phosphate-solubilizing … Read more...

Akpinar A., Cansev A. & Isleyen M. (2021): Effects of the lichen Peltigera canina on Cucurbita pepo spp. pepo grown in soil contaminated by DDTs, Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 28: 14576–14585

Lichens consisting of a symbiotic association of green algae or cyanobacteria and fungi are found in a variety of environmental conditions worldwide. Terricolous lichens, located in soils, affect the living and lifeless environment of the soil due to their effective secondary metabolite and enzymatic content. Terricolous lichens can increase the biological, chemical, and physical usefulness of soil. However, their effects in ensuring the bioavailability of contaminated soil are not known, especially … Read more...

Gómez R.Q., Chaparro M.A.E., Chaparro M.A.E., Castañeda-Miranda A.G., Marié S.C., Gargiulo J.D. & Böhnel H.N. (2021): Magnetic biomonitoring using native lichens: Spatial distribution of traffic-derived particles, Water, Air, and Soil Pollution, 232: 124 [15 p.]

Air pollution has become a subject of extensive study of several disciplines and it is identified as one of the most damaging factors for the ecosystem and human health. In urban areas, particle emission can be found in suspension and therefore a portion of them is inhalable for humans, or deposited on streets and several surfaces, including lichen’s thallus. We studied particulate matter (PM) (by traffic emission) accumulated in native lichens Parmotrema pilosum in order to carry out a … Read more...

(2021): How sensitive are epiphytic and epixylic cryptogams as indicators of forest naturalness? Testing bryophyte and lichen predictive power in stands under different management regimes in the Białowieża forest, Ecological Indicators, 125: 107532 [19 p.]

The aim of this study was to test the sensitivity of epiphytic and epixylic bryophytes and lichens as indicators of forest naturalness, by comparing their diversity patterns with forest structural, compositional and historical features associated with different management/protection regimes and protection time spans. The study was carried out in the Białowieża Forest (Poland). Out of 1370 pre-existing inventory plots established all across the Polish part of the Białowieża Forest, we randomly … Read more...

González-Montelongo C. & Pérez-Vargas I. (2021): Is an invasive alien tree able to sustain a similar lichen diversity as the native forest? The case of the sweet chestnut Castanea sativa Mill.) and the laurel forest in Macaronesia, Forest Ecology and Management, 488: 119009 [12 p.]

Invasive alien species are considered as one of the major threats to global biodiversity. Many widely used forestry trees are potentially invasive, spreading from planting sites into adjoining areas modifying community composition, and altering the native forest. In the Canary Islands, Castanea sativa was established half a millennium ago, in the distributional area of the laurel forest, an endemic forest of the Macaronesia. The impact of invasive species on ecosystem services and more specifically … Read more...
