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 … 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, … 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 … 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 … 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 … Read more...

Jordal J.B., Holien H. & Nordén B. (2022): Melaspilea bagliettoana new to Fennoscandia - Graphis Scripta, 34(1): 1–6

Melaspilea bagliettoana Zahlbr. is reported as new to Fennoscandia, based on eight collections from six localities in Norway. The species was found on the bark of living trunks of old Populus tremula trees in humid, coastal forests. Notes on the distribution of the species outside Norway are given. Read more...

Weber L., Kantelinen A. & Myllys L. (2022): Arthonia ligniariella new to Finland - Graphis Scripta, 34(1): 7–11

Arthonia ligniariella Coppins is reported for the first time from Finland. The specimen was collected on a dead, standing pine tree in Vesijako strict nature reserve in southern Finland. It is likely an overlooked species in Finland and possibly rare. It should be looked for in old-growth forests on dead wood and bark of various tree species, as well as on moribund mosses.

Westberg M., Arup U., Ekman S., Isaksson R., Johannesson L., Vicente R. & Svensson M. (2022): Additions to the flora of lichens and lichenicolous fungi in Fennoscandia - Graphis Scripta, 34(1): 12–21

Three lichens and six lichenicolous fungi are reported from Sweden for the first time. The lichens are Aphanopsis coenosa, Protoparmelia ochrococca and Scoliciosporum gallurae and the lichenicolous fungi are Chaenothecopsis retinens, Neobarya peltigerae, Roselliniella nephromatis, Stigmidium rouxianum, S. tabacina and Verrucula hladuniana. Four of these species, C. retinens, R. nephromatis, S. rouxianum and V. hladuniana, are new to Fennoscandia. Read more...

Hyphophores and diahyphae of Tricharia kashiwadanii were described for the first time, based on the original material and a collection from Iriomote Island. The mtSSU sequences of B. chlorinum, … Read more...

Yang Q., Cheng X., Zhang T., Liu X. & Wei X. (2022): Five new species of the lichen-forming fungal genus Peltula from China - Journal of Fungi, 8(2): 134 [19 p.]

The genus Peltula is an important cyanobacterial lichen group. We performed a taxonomic study on the Peltula from China using phylogenetic analysis based on three gene loci (ITS, nuSSU, nuLSU) together with additional species delimitation analyses by ABGD, bPTP and GMYC approaches and the phenotypic characteristics. Five new species (Peltula lobulata, P. polycarpa, P. polyphylla, P. pseudoboletiformis and P. submarginata) were found and described. Peltula lobulata is diagnostic in its small thallus … Read more...
