Lara-Rojas C.E., Lücking R. & Moncada B. (2026): Graphis epigraphis, a new, genuinely lichenicolous, adelphoparasitic species on Graphis, with a comparative survey of lichenicolous Graphidales (Graphidaceae, Gomphillaceae), Lichenologist, 58(2): 79–87

Graphis epigraphis is described from Colombia as only the second, genuinely lichenicolous species in the Graphis-Allographa complex in Graphidaceae. It grows on species of Graphis s. str., thus far found on thalli of G. leptoclada and G. pinicola. The new species is characterized by the lirellate ascomata forming delicate, stellately branched patches on the host, the entire, black labia laterally covered by a thin thalline margin formed by the host thallus, the laterally carbonized excipulum, and … Read more...

[in Polish with English abstract: ] Materials for the Distribution of Lichens and Lichenicolous Fungi in Poland, 6. The paper presents new localities of 27 species of lichens and 3 species of lichenicolous fungi, that are endangered in Poland or regionally rare. The paper also includes a new records of the non-lichenized fungus Naevia dispersa, which, due to its similarity to the lichenized representatives of the genus Arthonia s.l. is often included in lichenological publications. In addition … Read more...

Silva-Espejo R., Cerón-Carpio A.B., Figueroa-Castro D.M., Castañeda-Posadas C. & Pérez-Pérez R.E. (2025): Richness and composition of foliicolous lichens from the northeastern part of Puebla, Mexico, Nordic Journal of Botany, 2025(5): e04572 [13 p.]

Currently, only 52 species have been reported to the montane rainforests of Puebla. To enhance our knowledge and expand the checklist of the state, we aimed to determine the foliicolous lichen species richness and composition at three sites in Tlatlauquitepec, Puebla: a secondary montane rainforest with coffee plantations (site 1), a lowland rainforest fragment (site 2), and a secondary montane rainforest (site 3). A total of 94 species were identified with 52 being new records for the state, such … Read more...

Debnath A., Mishra G.K., Adhikari R. & Nayaka S. (2026): New distributional records of lichenized fungi for India from Arunachal Pradesh, Nordic Journal of Botany, 2026(2): e05012 [12 p.]

In the present communication 10 lichen species are reported as new records for India, viz. Byssoloma marginatum, Byssoloma xanthonicum, Chapsa boninensis, Coenogonium nepalense, Lecania cyrtella, Malmidea albomarginata, Myriotrema thailandicum, Myriotrema viride, Rostania occultata and Wirthiotrema duplomarginatum. Notably, B. marginatum, Malmidea albomarginata, R. occultata and W. duplomarginatum are documented as the first records for Asia. The lichens were collected from three districts of Arunachal … Read more...

Nadeem M., Niazi A.R. & Khalid A.N. (2026): Oxneriaria kaghanensis sp. nov. (Pertusariales, Megasporaceae) from Kaghan Valley, Pakistan, Nova Hedwigia, 122: 237–245

A new species in the family Megasporaceae, Oxneriaria kaghanensis is described and illustrated from Pakistan. A comparative morpho-anatomical study and ITS-based molecular analyses confirmed its position within the recently resurrected genus, Oxneriaria. Oxneriaria kaghanensis is morphologically and phylogenetically closely related to O. kohistaniensis. It is characterized by whitish to whitish grey thallus, areoles 0.8–1.7 mm, apothecia 0.7–1 mm, hymenium 95–110 μm, hypothecium 45–60 μm, … Read more...

Luna J., Thor G., Hedwall P.-O., Böhlenius H., Trubins R., Torres García M.T., Hekkala A.-M., Hylander K. & Felton A. (2026): Habitat suitability and management pathways for epiphytic lichens in Sweden’s fast growing broadleaf stands, Forest Ecology and Management, 614: 123826 [11 p.]

Fast-growing broadleaf (FGB) stands are planted in Northern Europe due to their high biomass production and as part of climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies. Yet, the effects on biodiversity of this intensive forest management that involves short-rotations, and sometimes the use of non-native tree species, are still uncertain. Given the limited number of studies investigating the biodiversity of FGB stands in Sweden, we assessed and compared the biodiversity of three FGB tree species … Read more...

Tavares C.A., Cavalcanti I.D.L., Aguiar Júnior F.C.A., Nogueira M.C.B.L., Santos Magalhães N.S. & Santos N.P.S. (2026): Stealth liposomes containing barbatic acid from Cladonia salmannii: Development, characterization, and evaluation of antitumor activity in vivo and in vitro, Journal of Drug Delivery Science and Technology, 123: 108463 [13 p.]

The aim of this study was to develop stealth liposomes containing barbatic acid (BA) and to evaluate their antitumor activity in Swiss mice. Conventional liposomes (BA-CL) and stealth liposomes (BA-SL) were produced using the lipid film hydration method. Cytotoxicity was evaluated against ascites cells from experimental Sarcoma-180 (S-180) tumors and undifferentiated J774. A1 macrophage cells. The internalization of AB-CL and AB-SL by S-180 cells was investigated by fluorescence microscopy. The … Read more...

Halder S. & Gachhui R. (2026): Two new distributional records of lichens from India, Feddes Repertorium, 137(1): e70067 [4 p.]

The present study deals with new addition and distributional records of two lichenized fungi in the lichen flora of India. The two lichen species Anisomeridium throwerae and Traponora asterella belong to the family Monoblastiaceae and Lecanoraceae, respectively. Traponora asterella was the first generic report, and Anisomeridium throwerae was reported for the first time in India from the state of West Bengal, described along with its photographs, ecology, and distribution map. Keywords: Anisomeridium … Read more...
