Terlecka M. & Szczepańska K. (2021): Contemporary state of preservation of the lichen biota in the eastern part of the “Paprocie Serpentynitowe w Masywie Ślęży” ecological area, Acta Mycologica, 56: 5612 [15 p.]

The purpose of this study was to assess the contemporary conditions of the lichen biota in the eastern part of the “Paprocie Serpentynitowe w Masywie Ślęży” ecological area in the Sudetes Foothills. The studies were carried out at three localities selected from 10 sites that were designed to protect the Asplenium fern genus. A total of 47 lichen species were found in the three localities. For each of the recorded species, the state of preservation in the Ślęża Massif area was assessed according … Read more...

Valenzuela R., Raymundo T., Reyes P., Guzmán-Guillermo J., Acosta S., Ramírez-Martínez J.C. & Luna-Vega I. (2021): Ascomycetes from the relic forest of Oreomunnea mexicana, Oaxaca, Mexico, Phytotaxa, 528(1): 19–44

La Esperanza is an Oaxacan relic area of the Tertiary, dominated by the big tree Oreomunnea mexicana (Juglandaceae). The forest is part of the priority region for the conservation of La Chinantla and constitutes one of the most conserved Mexican tropical montane cloud forests. We studied the Ascomycetes fungi and found 63 species, of which 32 are new records for Oaxaca. Ascocoryne inflata, Calyculosphaeria macrospora, Cercophora costaricensis, Chaetosphaeria ellisii, Coccomyces limitatus, Lasiosphaeria … Read more...

Lan S., Thomas A.D., Rakes J.B., Garcia-Pichel F., Wu L. & Hu C. (2021): Cyanobacterial community composition and their functional shifts associated with biocrust succession in the Gurbantunggut Desert, Environmental Microbiology Reports, 13(6): 884–898

Cyanobacteria, as key biocrust components, provide a variety of ecosystem functions in drylands. In this study, to identify whether a cyanobacterial community shift is involved in biocrust succession and whether this is linked to altered ecological functions, we investigated cyanobacterial composition, total carbon and nitrogen contents of biocrusts in the Gurbantunggut Desert. Our findings showed that the biocrust cyanobacteria in the Gurbantunggut desert were mostly filamentous, coexisting … Read more...

Mallen-Cooper M. & Cornwell W.K. (2021): Tissue chemistry of biocrust species along an aridity gradient and comparison to vascular plant leaves, Functional Ecology, 35: 2604–2614

Biocrusts are an extensive autotrophic groundcover but are regularly excluded from ecosystem models. One rationale for their exclusion is that their contributions to C and N cycles are negligible in comparison to vascular plants. Here we estimated the magnitude of the biocrust contribution to nutrient cycling in functional terms, comparing tissue chemistry and stoichiometry per ground area with vascular plants per leaf area. We quantified tissue C, N, P and a range of micronutrients in … Read more...

Medeiros I.D., Mazur E., Miadlikowska J., Flakus A., Rodriguez-Flakus P., Pardo-De la Hoz C.J., Cieślak E., Śliwa L. & Lutzoni F. (2021): Turnover of lecanoroid mycobionts and their Trebouxia photobionts along an elevation gradient in Bolivia highlights the role of environment in structuring the lichen symbiosis, Frontiers in Microbiology, 12: 774839 [19 p.]

Shifts in climate along elevation gradients structure mycobiont–photobiont associations in lichens.We obtained mycobiont (lecanoroid Lecanoraceae) and photobiont (Trebouxia alga) DNA sequences from 89 lichen thalli collected in Bolivia from a ca. 4,700 m elevation gradient encompassing diverse natural communities and environmental conditions. The molecular dataset included six mycobiont loci (ITS, nrLSU, mtSSU, RPB1, RPB2, and MCM7) and two photobiont loci (ITS, rbcL); we designed new primers … Read more...

Dyda M., Laudy A., Decewicz P., Romaniuk K., Ciezkowska M., Szajewska A., Solecka D., Dziewit L., Drewniak L. & Skłodowska A. (2021): Diversity of biodeteriorative bacterial and fungal consortia in winter and summer on historical sandstone of the Northern Pergola, Museum of King John III’s Palace at Wilanow, Poland, Applied Sciences, 11: 620 [23 p.]

The aim of the presented investigation was to describe seasonal changes of microbial community composition in situ in different biocenoses on historical sandstone of the Northern Pergola in the Museum of King John III’s Palace at Wilanow (Poland). The microbial biodiversity was analyzed by the application of Illumina-based next-generation sequencing methods. The metabarcoding analysis allowed for detecting lichenized fungi taxa with the clear domination of two genera: Lecania and Rhinocladiella. … Read more...

Piegdoń A. & Szymczyk R. (2021): Nowe stanowiska rzadkich i interesujących gatunków porostów w Bieszczadach Zachodnich [New localities of rare and interesting lichens in the Western Bieszczady Mts.], Roczniki Bieszczadzkie, 29: 59–72

[in Polish with English abstract and summary: ] The paper presents new localities of 16 rare and interesting lichen species in the Western Bieszczady Mts. Most of the presented taxa are known from only few localities in Poland. Seven species are included in the “red lists” of endangered lichens. Ten lichens are reported for the first time from that region. The records of Bacidia laurocerasi, Biatora mendax and Lecanographa amylacea are also the first data from the Polish part of the Carpathians. … Read more...

Atienza V., Hawksworth D.L. & Pérez-Ortega S. (2021): Verrucoccum (Dothideomycetes, Dictyosporiaceae), a new genus of lichenicolous fungi on Lobaria s. lat. for the Dothidea hymeniicola species complex, Mycologia, 113(6): 1233–1252

Two lichenicolous fungi, one growing on the thallus of Lobaria pulmonaria in the United Kingdom (Scotland) and the other in apothecia of Lobaria linita and L. oregana in northwestern North America (Alaska and British Columbia) and northeast Asia (Russian Far East, Khabarovsk Krai), show similarities to the species originally described as Dothidea hymeniicola (later transferred to Polycoccum s. lat and Endococcus) from a Lobaria s. lat. species in Central America. Critical morphological comparison … Read more...

Szczepańska K., Guzow-Krzemińska B. & Urbaniak J. (2021): Infraspecific variation of some brown Parmeliae (in Poland) – a comparison of ITS rDNA and non-molecular characters, MycoKeys, 85: 127–160

Infraspecific variation of the ITS rDNA region of some brown Parmeliae occurring in Poland is studied and compared with non-molecular characters. Haplotype networks are used to illustrate the variability within the species. Both newly-produced sequences from Central Europe and from all over the world, downloaded from the GenBank, are used. The number of haplotypes found for each taxon ranged from five in Melanelia stygia to 12 in Melanelia hepatizon and Montanelia disjuncta; however, their … Read more...
