(2021): Looking for the undiscovered asexual taxa; case studies from lesser studied life modes and habitats, Mycosphere, 12(1): 1186–1229

Fungi are vital functional members of the biosphere, playing a crucial role in sustaining ecosystems by maintaining the nutrient balance. Many studies have verified the abundance of fungi across all-natural ecosystems and habitats, such as in forests, fresh-water (including both lentic or lotic), marine environments and deserts. With the focus previously on temperate regions and to a lesser extent biodiversity hotspots, the fungi in other areas remain overlooked. Therefore, it is imperative … Read more...

Touati C., Ratsimbazafy T., Poulin J., Bernier M., Homayouni S. & Ludwig R. (2021): Landscape freeze/thaw mapping from active and passive microwave Earth observations over the Tursujuq National Park, Quebec, Canada, Écoscience, 28(3): 421–433

We investigated the sensitivity to vegetation cover type of active (PALSAR) and passive (SMAP) freeze/thaw (F/T) classification. We also used F/T classification from high-resolution PALSAR data (30 m) to follow the evolution of frozen and thawed soil states obtained from an adaptive algorithm with low-resolution SMAP data (36 km). We used PALSAR and SMAP scenes acquired from June 2015 to January 2017 over the Tursujuq National Park (Umiujaq, Quebec, Canada). A new F/T algorithm with a specific … Read more...

Jorna J., Linde J.B., Searle P.C., Jackson A.C., Nielsen M.-E., Nate M.S., Saxton N.A., Grewe F., Herrera-Campos M.A., Spjut R.W., Wu H., Ho B., Lumbsch H.T. & Leavitt S.D. (2021): Species boundaries in the messy middle—A genome-scale validation of species delimitation in a recently diverged lineage of coastal fog desert lichen fungi, Ecology and Evolution, 11: 18615–18632

Species delimitation among closely related species is challenging because traditional phenotype-based approaches, for example, using morphology, ecological, or chemical characteristics, may not coincide with natural groupings. With the advent of high-throughput sequencing, it has become increasingly cost-effective to acquire genome-scale data which can resolve previously ambiguous species boundaries. As the availability of genome-scale data has increased, numerous species delimitation analyses, such … Read more...

McIntyre C., Archer S.R., Predick K.I. & Belnap J. (2021): Biocrusts do not differentially influence emergence and early establishment of native and non-native grasses, Ecosphere, 12(12):e03841 [18 p.]

Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) cover the soil surface of global drylands and interact with vascular plants. Biocrusts may influence the availability and nature of safe sites for plant recruitment and the susceptibility of an area to invasion by non-native species. Therefore, to investigate the potential role of biocrusts in invasive species management, we sought to determine whether native and non-native grass recruitments in two North American deserts were differentially affected by biocrusts. … Read more...

Ismailov A. (2021): Diversity and peculiarities of lichens in subnival habitats of Shalbuzdag Mountain (East Caucasus, Dagestan, Russia), Herzogia, 34: 387–399

One hundred and four species of lichenized fungi and three species of lichenicolous fungi have been revealed in habitats above 3000 m a.s.l of Shalbuzdag Mountain. Some species are reported from these altitudes for the first time. Gyalolechia klementii is new for Russia and the Greater Caucasus. Heteroplacidium fusculum and Calvitimela aglaea are reported for the Greater Caucasus for the first time. Tetramelas papillatus, Toninia taurica and Rhizocarpon atroflavescens are new records for the … Read more...

Knudsen K., Kocourková J., Hodková E. & Schiefelbein U. (2021): A new species of Myriospora (Acarosporaceae) and a report of Myriospora rufescens from Central Europe, Herzogia, 34: 327–338

Myriospora bullata is described from Germany. It is similar to M. scabrida in having apothecia in a parathecial ring but differs in becoming bullate, in often being orange, and in being a lichenicolous lichen. It is probably restricted to copper-rich rock. Myriospora himalayensis is not considered a member of the genus but a regional lineage in either Acarospora or Sarcogyne. Myriospora rufescens is reported new for the Czech Republic. Keywords: Acarospora pseudofuscata, A. hellbomii, copper, … Read more...
