Rapai S., McColl D., Collis B., Henry T. & Coxson D. (2023_x000): Terrestrial lichen caribou forage transplant success: year 5 and 6 results - Restoration Ecology, XX: 1-10

The southern mountain caribou-a subpopulation of caribou found in British Columbia-is listed on Schedule 1 of the Federal Species at Risk Act as Threatened. Woodland caribou are diet specialists, relying on Cladonia subgenus Cladina lichen as a primary food source during winter months. Lichens are burned along with trees and other vegetation during stand-replacing wildfire events, a natural disturbance in caribou ranges. In an attempt to accelerate the return of post-fire forests to productive caribou … URL EndNote PDF Read more...

Golovkina D.A., Zhurishkina E.V., Ayrapetyan O.N., Komissarov A.E., Krylova A.S., Vinogradova E.N., Toshchakov S.V., Ermilov F.K., Barsegyan A.M., Kulminskaya A.A. & Lapina I.M. (2023): Effect of brown algae and lichen extracts on the SCOBY microbiome and kombucha properties - Foods, 12(1): 47 [15 p.]

Kombucha tea was made by the fermentation of SCOBY culture of green tea broth with the addition of Fucus vesiculosus algae extract, Cetraria islandica lichen extract and their mixture. Kombucha was also made without the herbal supplements as a control. After 11 days of fermentation, in addition to the yeast Brettanomyces bruxellensis and the bacteria Komagataeibacter rhaeticus and Komagataeibacter hansenii contained in all of the samples, the yeast Zygosaccharomyces bailii and bacteria Komagataeibacter … URL EndNote Read more...

Zulfiqar Z., Asghar H.S., Habib K. & Khalid A.N. (2023): Two new species of the genus Oxneriaria (lichenized Ascomycota: Megasporaceae) from Pakistan - Plant Systematics and Evolution, 309: 2 [7 p.]

Two new species of the lichen genus Oxneriaria are discovered in Pakistan, namely Oxneriaria iqbalii and O. kohistaniensis. Oxneriaria iqbalii is characterized by its non-radiating peripheral areoles, indistinct prothallus, 0.3–0.8 mm apothecial disc, bigger ascospores (20–26×10–14 µm) and conidia (15–30×c. 0.5 µm), whereas Oxneriaria kohistaniensis can be characterized by peripherally non-elongated areoles, indistinct prothallus, simple paraphyses, smaller ascospores (15–20×9–12 … URL EndNote Read more...

Torres-Benítez A., Ortega-Valencia J.E., Sánchez M., Hillmann-Eggers M., Gómez-Serranillos M.P., Vargas-Arana G. & Simirgiotis M.J.J. (2023): UHPLC-MS chemical fingerprinting and antioxidant, enzyme inhibition, anti-inflammatory in silico and cytoprotective activities of Cladonia chlorophaea and C. gracilis (Cladoniaceae) from Antarctica - Antioxidants, 12(1): 10 [22 p.]

The lichen species Cladonia chlorophaea and C. gracilis (Cladoniaceae) are widely distributed in the island archipelago of maritime Antarctica and represent a natural resource of scientific interest. In this work, the metabolomic characterization of the ethanolic extracts of these species and the determination of the antioxidant activity, enzymatic inhibition and anti-inflammatory potential of selected compounds on the 5-lipoxygenase enzyme by molecular docking and cytoprotective activity in the … URL EndNote Read more...

Rosentreter R. & DeBolt A. (2023): Lichens as an indicator of sea-level rise - Evansia, 39(4)[2022]: 162–168

Coastal areas around the globe are threatened with sea-level rise (SLR). Many of these areas support coastal forests, and determining the threat is complicated by wind patterns and sea floor and shoreline variability, beyond simple elevational concerns. Lichens can be used as indicators of SLR at site specific locations. Developing vegetative indicators of SLR could assist land managers, municipalities, and homeowners in evaluating the risk of building homes, roads, and other structures in some … URL EndNote Read more...

Maraun M., Thomas T., Fast E., Treibert N., Caruso T., Schaefer I., Lu J.-Z. & Scheu S. (2023): New perspectives on soil animal trophic ecology through the lens of C and N stable isotope ratios of oribatid mites - Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 177: 108890 [11 p.]

Knowledge of the trophic ecology of soil animals is important for understanding their high alpha diversity as well as their functional role in soil food webs and systems. In the last 20 years, the analysis of natural variations in stable isotope ratios (15N/14N, 13C/12C) has revolutionized our view on soil animal trophic ecology. Here, we review the state of the art of the trophic ecology of a highly abundant and diverse soil animal taxon, oribatid mites (Oribatida), investigated by stable isotope … URL EndNote Read more...

González Argüello G., Filippini E. & Machado A.S. (2023): Morpho‑anatomical variations of Parmotrema pilosum (Parmeliaceae, Ascomycota) in fragmented forests of central Argentina: relationship between forest cover and distance to crops - Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 30: 1795–1805

Forest vegetation is key for bufering microclimatic factors and regulating atmospheric deposition. Epiphytic lichens are sensitive to these factors and can indicate the overall health status of the ecosystem. Specifcally, the analysis of morphoanatomical variations allows us to understand the degree of tolerance or sensitivity of these organisms exposed to agricultural crops and how vegetation might bufer this response. We analyzed variations in vegetative and reproductive characters and injuries … URL EndNote Read more...

Esseen P.-A. & Ekström M. (2023): Influence of canopy structure and light on the three-dimensional distribution of the iconic lichen Usnea longissima - Forest Ecology and Management, 529: 120667 [13 p.]

Forest canopies modify microclimates and create habitats for nonvascular epiphytes, but we need to better understand the mechanisms regulating their vertical and horizontal distributions. Here we examine how canopy structure and light environment influence the 3D distribution of Usnea longissima, the world’s longest lichen, and associated with old-growth forests. We quantified forest structure, vertical profile of light (PPFD transmittance fraction), and horizontal as well as vertical distribution … URL EndNote Read more...

Greaver T., McDow S., Phelan J., Kaylor S.D., Herrick J.D. & Jovan S. (2023): Synthesis of lichen response to gaseous nitrogen: Ammonia versus nitrogen dioxide - Atmospheric Environment, 292: 119396 [13 p.]

The dominant chemical form of nitrogen pollution in the atmosphere in the U.S. is shifting from oxidized nitrogen, primarily from combustion of fossil fuels, to reduced nitrogen from agricultural animal waste and fertilizer applications. Does it matter to lichens? In this synthesis, we characterize U.S. air concentrations of the most ubiquitous gaseous forms of reduced and oxidized nitrogen, NO2 and NH3, respectively, and their direct effects on lichens. In the U.S., the 3-year average (2017–2019) … URL EndNote Read more...

Kammann S., Schiefelbein U., Dolnik C., Mikhailyuk T., Demchenko E., Karsten U. & Glaser K. (2023): Successional development of the phototrophic community in biological soil crusts on coastal and inland dunes - Biology, 12: 58 [26 p.]

(1) Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are microecosystems consisting of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms growing on the topsoil. This study aims to characterize changes in the community structure of biocrust phototrophic organisms along a dune chronosequence in the Baltic Sea compared to an inland dune in northern Germany. (2) A vegetation survey followed by species determination and sediment analyses were conducted. (3) The results highlight a varying phototrophic community composition … URL EndNote Read more...
