Viola A., Newington N., Riley J., Selva S. & Proulx L. (2024): Bursting the stubble bubble: citizen scientists measure ecological continuity near Goldsmith Lake, Nova Scotia using calicioid lichens and fungi - Evansia, 41(1): 9–18

In an effort to protect a forest on provincial land near Goldsmith Lake in Annapolis County, Nova Scotia, from timber harvest operations, a group of citizen scientists began documenting the biodiversity of the area. In December 2022, the group invited Dr. Steven Selva, a lichenologist specializing in calicioid lichens and fungi, to visit and teach them how to locate and collect calicioid specimens. We found 27 calicioid species, one of which was new to the Maritimes, providing additional evidence … Read more...

Cui C., Dou M., Jiang S. & Jia Z. (2024): The lichen genus Letrouitia (Brigantiaeaceae, Ascomycota) in China. - Diversity, 16(5): 254 [11 p.]

Based on morphological, chemical and molecular studies, two new species of the lichen genus Letrouitia are newly described from China. Letrouitia arcuata is distinguished by its arcuate ascospores [8–10(–12)-locular, (28–)33–50(–62.5) × (8–)10–14.5 µm] and L. sinuosa by its ascomata with wavy margins and ascospores with lens-shaped locules [6–8-locular, (18–)19.5–32(–34) × (6.5–)8–14 μm]. In addition, L. magenta is reported for the first time as a new record in China, … Read more...

Boggess L.M., McCain C.M., Manzitto-Tripp E.A., Pearson S.M. & Lendemer J.C. (2024): Disturbance and diversity: Lichen species richness decreases with increasing anthropogenic disturbance - Biological Conservation, 293: 110598 [10 p.]

Anthropogenic disturbance is rapidly increasing through habitat degradation, development, and deforestation. Gaps remain in understanding the effects of this disturbance on diverse and ecologically important organisms such as lichens. In North America, studies have focused on epiphytic macrolichens and catastrophic disturbance, largely ignoring microlichens and less severe disturbances. The Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis predicts these moderate disturbances will lead to higher species richness. … Read more...

Michlig A., Moreno S., Rodríguez M.P., Niveiro N. & Neffa V.S. (2024): The genera Hypotrachyna and Remototrachyna (Parmeliaceae, Ascomycota) in northeastern Argentina - Folia Cryptogamica Estonica, 61: 13–24

Pyrenocarpous lichens are an important component of the forest ecosystem, yet remain understudied. Following the recent field surveys of the lichen biota in Mt. Musuan, four pyrenolichen species previously unreported from the Philippines were collected, namely: Porina exocha, Pyrenula pyrenuloides, P. subsoluta, and Nigrovothelium inspersotropicum. Each species is briefly described with morphology and chemistry, distribution, ecology, notes, and illustrations. These collections underscore the need … Read more...

Frisch A., Darmostuk V., Diederich P., Holien H., Ihlen P.G. & Suija A. (2024): Lichenicolous fungi mainly from the Dovre Mountains, Norway - Graphis Scripta, 36(3): 50–88

Based on results from a 5-days field workshop held at Hjerkinn, we report new distribution data for 110 species of lichenicolous fungi from the Dovre Mountains area in central Norway. Additional eight species were collected in humid spruce forests near Trondheim. Including literature reports, 134 species of lichenicolous fungi are currently known from the Dovre Mountains. Our material includes a surprisingly large number of 11 species new to Fennoscandia (Clypeococcum cetrariae, Didymocyrtis melanelixiae, … Read more...

Hirschheydt G. von, Kéry M., Ekman S., Stofer S., Dietrich M., Keller C. & Scheidegger C. (2024): Occupancy model reveals limited detectability of lichens in a standardised large-scale monitoring - Journal of Vegetation Science, 35: e13255 [11 p.]

Question: What are the extent and the possible causes of imperfect detection in lichens? Because lichens are sessile and lack seasonality, they should be easier to survey than animals that can move or plants and fungi with seasonal morphology, and one could therefore expect relatively high detection probabilities. Location: 826 standardised sampling plots across Switzerland. Methods: Using repeated detection/non-detection data from a national lichen survey conducted by professional lichenologists, … Read more...

Marshall A.J., Aptroot A., Vlůanchon D.J., James C.J. & de Lange P.J. (2024): New Zealand Lithothelium (Pyrenulaceae) — description of a new species Lithothelium kiritea sp. nov., with notes on L. australe - Український ботанічний журнал [Ukrainian Botanical Journal], 81(2): 145–154

Lithothelium kiritea A.J. Marshall, Aptroot, de Lange & Blanchon sp. nov. (Pyrenulaceae) is described from Aotearoa / New Zealand. The new species has a mainly coastal and mostly westerly distribution in Aotearoa / New Zealand and is thus far known only from the bark of living Cordyline australis (Asparagaceae). The new species is separated from Lithothelium australe (treated here as endemic to the Chatham Islands), by its corticolous, rather than saxicolous habit, white to pale buff (when … Read more...

Ossowska E.A., Moncada B., Lücking R., Flakus A., Rodriguez-Flakus P., Olszewska S. & Kukwa M. (2024): Additional new species and new records of the genus Sticta (lichenised Ascomycota, lobarioid Peltigeraceae) from Bolivia - MycoKeys, 105: 21–47

Four species of the genus Sticta are described as new from Bolivia, based on morphological examination and phylogenetic analysis of the fungal ITS barcoding marker. Additionally, two species are reported as new to Bolivia (their identification confirmed by molecular data) and one previously reported species is confirmed by molecular data for the first time. Detailed morphological and anatomical descriptions are provided for all new species. Two of the new species, S. isidiolobulata Ossowska, … Read more...
