Martellos S., Seggi L. & Trabucco R. (2026): The dataset of the lichen collection "Abramo Massalongo" preserved at the Natural History Museum of Venice, Biodiversity Data Journal, 14: e184587 [12 p.]

Background: Italy was one of the most active countries in the field of lichenology in the nineteenth century. Researchers such as Baglietto, De Notaris, Massalongo and Trevisan produced relevant herbaria, which are (at least in part) still preserved today. The digitisation of at least some of the collections is allowing the mobilisation of information from these specimens and aggregating the metadata in national and global repositories. New information: This dataset contains the metadata and images … Read more...

Fałowska P., Dziurowicz P., Waszkiewicz K., Kamiński A., Nicia P., Zadrożny P. & Węgrzyn M.H. (2026): Seasonal, microclimatic and edaphic determinants of Cladonia spp. stress physiology in dry sandy Scots pine lichen forests, Forest Ecology and Management, 612: 123732 [14 p.]

The Cladonio–Pinetum association is among Europe’s most endangered dry, sandy forest communities and is highly sensitive to microclimate and edaphic shifts. We quantified how seasonality and microhabitat (psammophilous grasslands vs. pine forests) modulate physiological traits of the dominant terricolous lichens Cladonia mitis and Cl. uncialis in Bory Tucholskie National Park (north-central Poland). From September 2022 to September 2023 we monitored six permanent sites, recording light, temperature, … Read more...

Hynniewta L. & Syiem M.B. (2026): Ultrastructural and metabolic modifications in the cyanobiont of a high-altitude symbiotic lichen Peltigera malacea from Meghalaya, India, Symbiosis, 98: 15–27

The lichen Peltigera malacea collected from Pynursula, East Khasi Hill district, Shillong, Meghalaya, India, situated at N: 25° 82’ 9.6” E: 92° 6’ 43” at an altitude of 1425 m above sea level was investigated. Morphological and ultrastructural studies showed the presence of a cyanobacterium Nostoc calcicola just below the upper cortex of the lichen thallus and in contact with the fungi. Biochemical analysis proved this symbiosis to be a bipartite, where the heterocyst frequency of the cyanobiont … Read more...

Lobakova E.S., Zaytseva A.A., Shibzukhova K.A., Butaeva G.B. & Gorelova O.A. (2026): Localization of cyanobacteria in cohabitations with moss Hylocomium splendens and lichen Nephroma arcticum of the Karelian coast of the White Sea and heir phylogenetic relationship, Russian Journal of Plant Physiology, 73: 42 [14 p.]

Cyanobacteria have a number of properties, such as the ability to photosynthesize and fix nitrogen, which contribute to their survival in the harsh climatic conditions of the White Sea coast, which makes them attractive to organisms of various kingdoms for creating associations. In this paper, we studied such cohabitations with the moss Hylocomium splendens and the three-component lichen Nephroma arcticum. Using light and scanning electron microscopy, elongated ellipsoid, less often spherical, primordia … Read more...

Jin G., Liu W., Wu Z., Yang Q., Lu W., Fu Y.V., Wang Y., Ren D., Lin W., Fu X. & Wei X. (2026): Lasting biosignatures for 165 million years in lichens detected by multiple spectroscopies and the implication for extreme environmental and exoplanetary life exploring, Astrophysics and Space Science, 371: 30 [13 p.]

A type of specialized fungi, lichens, are the pioneer and predominant life form in harsh land environments on Earth with strong tolerance to extreme environment, including both extant and fossilized materials. Multiple spectroscopic techniques have been widely used in extreme-environment and planetary detection and life detection. Herein, multiple spectral methods and Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS) analysis were applied to test whether lichens could be the potential biomarkers and might contain … Read more...

Ortiz G.J., Botsch J.C., Book K.R. & Ives A.R. (2026): The distribution and photobiont characteristics of two lichen species along a resource gradient from the shoreline of Lake Mývatn, Iceland, Aquatic Ecology, 60: 46 [12 p.]

Organisms that move across ecosystem boundaries can create resource gradients in adjacent ecosystems. Midges that emerge from Lake Mývatn, Iceland, are deposited as nutrient-rich carcasses on land, and this generates a nutrient gradient from its shoreline. We contrasted the distribution and photobiont characteristics of two lichen species, Nephromopsis cucullata and Peltigera leucophlebia, in a lava field adjacent to Mývatn along this midge deposition gradient. While the primary photobionts of … Read more...

McCarthy P.M., Elix J.A. & Heenan P.B. (2026): A first inventory of the lichens of Mangaia, and an updated checklist for the Cook Islands, New Zealand Journal of Botany, 64: e70063 [16 p.]

A first checklist is provided for the lichenised fungi of Mangaia. Based on field work undertaken during November 2024, when 144 collections were made over a 5-day period, 66 species are recognised from Mangaia, including 43 new national records for the Cook Islands. A number of the new records reported here for Mangaia are first reports for islands of the wider Pacific Ocean or south-western Polynesia. The new Mangaia records comprise 37 genera from 22 families. Seven genera include three or more … Read more...

Three species (Leccinum albostipitatum, Tubulicrinis sororius, Poa pinegensis) were found in the region for the first time. New locations of rare species of fungi (Xanthoporus syringae), lichens (Buellia leptocline, Calvitimela talayana, Flavoplaca marina, Lecanora caesiosora, L. epanora, Psilolechia clavulifera, Rhizoplaca … Read more...
