Roziaty E., Sutarno, Suntoro S. & Sugiyarto (2020): Ecological indices on lichen biodiversity in three main different areas (the cities, countrysides and the forests) of Jogjakarta and Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia, Eurasian Journal of Biosciences, 14(2): 4543-4550

Lichen or commonly termed as is a symbiotic association organism between algae and fungus in nature. It is a non vascular plants. Algae comes from the Cyanobacteria while the fungus derived from Ascomycetes. Fungus needs carbon as food sources and the algae provides from photosynthetic process. Lichen is distributed in terrestrial from tropical to polar habitats. Lichen varies in terms of body size and length. Many investigation had been done to test the lichen as bio indicators. This research aimed … Read more...

Martínez L., Mereles M.F. & Estrabou C. (2019): Contribution to the study of corticolous lichens of the Ybycuí National Park, Department of Paraguarí [Contribución al estudio de líquenes corticícolas del Parque Nacional Ybycuí, Departamento de Paraguarí], Steviana, 11(1): 42-54

The Ybycuí National Park (PNY) is an important area for conservation of representative samples of the forests from the central zone in the Eastern Region of Paraguay. The aim of this study is to identify genera and families of lichens found in the forests of the reserve. Two semi-deciduous forested communities were selected, one riparian and one non-riparian. Only samples of corticolous lichens were collected. Specialized literature was used for the taxonomic identifi-tions and the lichen substances … Read more...

Olise F.S., Ogundele L.T., Olajire M.A., Owoade O.K., Oloyede F.A., Fawole O.G. & Ezeh G.C. (2019): Biomonitoring of environmental pollution in the vicinity of iron and steel smelters in southwestern Nigeria using transplanted lichens and mosses, Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 191(11): 691

This study identified specific emission sources of atmospheric pollution in the vicinity of two secondary iron and steel smelting factories in Osun state, southwestern Nigeria, using transplanted biomonitors. A total of 120 biomonitors consisting of lichen and moss were grown under a controlled environment and later transplanted to the surroundings of each factory for monitoring of air pollutants for 3 months in both wet and dry seasons. The elemental contents (K, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, … Read more...

Tamang D. & Sarma M. (2019): A review on survey and documentation of lichen diversity and its bioprospection, NeBIO, 10(3): 164-167

This present paper reviews the lichen diversity around the world with special reference to North eastern region of India, particularly in Assam. The various workers have tried to document the lichen diversity in this one of the biodiversity hotspots region of the world. These exploration works have contributed new additions to lichen species and thereby enriching the biodiversity record of a particular geographical region. Lichens are also known to possess secondary metabolites and are reported to … Read more...

Suharno C. L. Y., Sujarta P. & Tanjung R.H.R. (2020): Rapid assessment of lichen diversity in Baliem Valley, Jayawijaya, Papua, Indonesia, Biodiversitas, 21(6): 2403-2409

Lichen is a form of mutualistic symbiosis between phycobiont and mycobiont. Lichens play an important role in environment, either to maintain the biological diversity and the function of ecosystems. This study is aimed to determine the diversity of species of lichens in the Baliem Valley region, Jayawijaya, Papua. The method used was explorative surveys in several villages in Jayawijaya District. Species identification was based on morphological characteristics. The results showed that there were … Read more...

ten Veldhuis M.-., Ananyev G. & Dismukes G.C. (2020): Symbiosis extended: exchange of photosynthetic O2 and fungal-respired CO2 mutually power metabolism of lichen symbionts, Photosynthesis Research, 143: 287–299

Lichens are a symbiosis between a fungus and one or more photosynthetic microorganisms that enables the symbionts to thrive in places and conditions they could not compete independently. Exchanges of water and sugars between the symbionts are the established mechanisms that support lichen symbiosis. Herein, we present a new linkage between algal photosynthesis and fungal respiration in lichen Flavoparmelia caperata that extends the physiological nature of symbiotic co-dependent metabolisms, mutually … Read more...

Ranius T., Hämäläinen A., Sjögren J., Hiron M., Jonason D., Kubart A., Schroeder M., Dahlberg A., Thor G. & Jonsell M. (2019): The evolutionary species pool concept does not explain occurrence patterns of dead-wood-dependent organisms: implications for logging residue extraction, Oecologia, 191(1): 241-252

Emulation of natural disturbances is often regarded as a key measure to make forestry biodiversity-oriented. Consequently, extraction of logging residues is assumed to have little negative effect in comparison to extraction of dead wood mainly formed at natural disturbances. This is consistent with the evolutionary species pool hypothesis, which suggests that most species are evolutionary adapted to the naturally most abundant habitats. We tested this hypothesis for dead-wood-dependent macrofungi, … Read more...

Lücking R. (2020): Three challenges to contemporaneous taxonomy from a licheno-mycological perspective, Megataxa, 1(1): 78-103

This paper discusses three issues that challenge contemporaneous taxonomy, with examples from the fields of mycology and lichenology, formulated as three questions: (1) What is the importance of taxonomy in contemporaneous and future science and society? (2) An increasing methodological gap in alpha taxonomy: challenge or opportunity? (3) The Nagoya Protocol: improvement or impediment to the science of taxonomy? The importance of taxonomy in society is illustrated using the example of popular field … Read more...

Petelka J., Plagg B., Säumel I. & Zerbe S. (2020): Traditional medicinal plants in South Tyrol (northern Italy, southern Alps): Biodiversity and use, Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine, 16: 74

Background Worldwide mountain regions are recognized as hotspots of ethnopharmacologically relevant species diversity. In South Tyrol (Southern Alps, Italy), and due to the region’s high plant diversity and isolated population, a unique traditional botanical knowledge of medicinal plants has flourished, which traces its history back to prehistoric times. However, changes in rural life and culture may threaten this unique biodiversity and cultural heritage. Our study aims to collect and analyze … Read more...

Sahin E., Dabagoglu Psav S., Avan I., Candan M., Sahinturk V. & Koparal A.T. (2019): Vulpinic acid, a lichen metabolite, emerges as a potential drug candidate in the therapy of oxidative stress–related diseases, such as atherosclerosis, Human and Experimental Toxicology, 38(6): 675–684

Vulpinic acid, a lichen compound, has been shown to have many beneficial effects and its medicinal value increases day by day. As in atherosclerosis, endothelial damage is the basis of many diseases. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of vulpinic acid against oxidative stress damage induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in endothelial cells. In order to find the IC50 of H2O2 and the protective dose of vulpinic acid, methyl thiazolyldiphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assays were performed. … Read more...
