Wilk K. & Lücking R. (2024): Quantitative integrative taxonomy informs species delimitation in Teloschistaceae (lichenized Ascomycota): the genus Wetmoreana as a case study - IMA Fungus, 15: 9 [42 p.]

The genus Wetmoreana was studied using quantitative integrative taxonomy methods to resolve the genus delimitation and explore its taxonomy diversity at the species level. As a result, the genus Fulgogasparrea is synonymized with Wetmoreana, and the latter includes 15 formally described species, one subspecies, and three further, thus far undescribed species: W. appressa, W. awasthii comb. nov., W. bahiensis sp. nov., W. brachyloba comb. nov., W. brouardii, W. chapadensis comb. nov., W. circumlobata … Read more...

Brenning M., Longstaffe F.J. & Fraser D. (2024): Variation in stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope compositions along antlers of Qamanirjuaq caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) - Ecology and Evolution, 14: e11006 [18 p.]

Annual antler growth begins in the spring and is completed by late summer for male caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) from the Qamanirjuaq herd (Nunavut, Canada), aligned with both the spring migration and a seasonal dietary shift. Antlers may provide a non-lethal means of studying short- and long-term changes in caribou ecology through incorporated isotopes of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N). We sampled the antlers of 12 male caribou from the Qamanirjuaq herd culled in September 1967. … Read more...

Łuniewski S., Rogowska W., Łozowicka B. & Iwaniuk P. (2024): Plants, microorganisms and their metabolites in supporting asbestos detoxification—A biological perspective in asbestos treatment - Materials, 17(7): 1644 [17 p.]

Many countries banned asbestos due to its toxicity, but considering its colossal use, especially in the 1960s and 1970s, disposing of waste containing asbestos is the current problem. Today, many asbestos disposal technologies are known, but they usually involve colossal investment and operating expenses, and the end- and by-products of these methods negatively impact the environment. This paper identifies a unique modern direction in detoxifying asbestos minerals, which involves using microorganisms … Read more...

Thakur M., Bhardwaj S., Kumar V. & Rodrigo-Comino J. (2024): Lichens as effective bioindicators for monitoring environmental changes: A comprehensive review - Total Environment Advances, 9: 200085 [9 p.]

Lichens, due to their unique biology and sensitivity to contaminants, have emerged as valuable tools for biomonitoring. Their ability to respond to climatic and air quality variations makes them reliable indicators of environmental shifts. This mini review critically evaluates lichen characteristics and their potential as predictive indicators of environmental changes when coupled with precise research methodologies. Our findings highlight lichens as organisms capable of responding to ecological … Read more...

Yenigun S., Ipek Y., Marah S., Demirtas I. & Ozen T. (2024): DNA protection, molecular docking, antioxidant, antibacterial, enzyme inhibition, and enzyme kinetic studies for parietin, isolated from Xanthoria parietina (L.) Th. Fr. - Journal of Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics, 42(2): 848–862

Parietin was isolated from Xanthoria parietina (L.) Th. Fr.’ (methanol:chloroform) extract, using a silica column. 13 C NMR and 1H NMR were used to confirm the structure of the isolated parietin. For the first time, parietin was investigated for its antioxidant, antibacterial and DNA protective activities. Molecular docking was carried out to determine the binding affinity and interactions between the enzymes and our molecule. Inhibition and kinetic mechanism studies for the action of the enzymes were … Read more...

Bartylak T., Kayastha P., Polishchuk A., Roszkowska M., Bartylak M.M., Rutkowski T., Zacharyasiewicz M. & Kaczmarek Ł. (2024): Terrestrial Tardigrada (water bears) of the Słowiński National Park (Northern Poland) - Diversity, 16(4): 239 [15 p.]

In this paper, samples of mosses, lichens and cryptogams (mosses mixed with lichens) collected from Słowiński National Park (northern Poland) were studied for water bears (Tardigrada). In total, 27 tardigrade taxa were identified: 21 to the species level, one identified as „cf.” and three to the genus level, with six species (Eremobiotus ginevrae, Hypsibius dujardini, Hypsibius scabropygus, Milnesium beasleyi, Minibiotus intermedius and Notahypsibius pallidoides) being new records for Poland. … Read more...

Two species of lichens, Buellia insularis and Polyblastia cataractae, as well as a lichenicolous fungus [in Russian with English summary: ] Lasiosphaeriopsis lecanorae, were identified as new for Russia during the comprehensive studies of vegetation on the Kolguev Island. For each species, a brief description is given based on the specimens studied, differences from closely related species, ecological features, and global distribution are shown.
