Bernet J., Vonarburg C. & Otálora M.A.G. (2025): First European record of Sticta arenosella and new Central European records of Sticta fuliginoides, Plant and Fungal Systematics, 70(2): 75–84

The genus Sticta has recently undergone significant taxonomic revisions in Europe, yet central regions such as Switzerland were not included in those revisions. To assess the diversity of the species complex Sticta fuliginosa in Switzerland, we used an integrative taxonomic approach combining morphological and genetic analyses. We sampled both the well-known localities, as well as newly discovered localities along the Doubs River. Our results showed that S. fuliginosa is presently absent from Switzerland. … Read more...

Palice Z. & Malíček J. (2025): Lišejníky přírodní památky Obora Hvězda v Praze [Lichens of the Obora Hvězda/Star Game Preserve Nature Monument in Prague], Bohemia centralis, 39: 99–135 & 337–355

[in Czech with English abstract: ] The Obora Hvězda/Star Game Preserve Nature Monument (78.8 ha, 314–375 m a. s. l.) is one of the unique sites in Prague thanks to its extensive and close to nature forest cover. A detailed survey of lichens revealed 173 species. Among them, epiphytes predominate, but the communities on calcareous sandstones and marlstones are also valuable, where numerous rarely reported species were found, especially from the family Verrucariaceae. The taxa Arthonia ligniaria, … Read more...

Coradeghini A., Quartino M.L., García R.A. & Yañez A. (2023): La colección de Líquenes del Herbario Nacional de Plantas Celulares (BA) y sus especímenes tipo [The Lichen collection of the National Herbarium of Cellular Plants (BA) and its type specimens], Revista del Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales, 25(2): 259–274

The lichen collection of the National Herbarium of Cellular Plants of the Argentine Museum of Natural Sciences “Bernardino Rivadavia” (BA-MACN) has a high historical value due to the antiquity of many of its specimens, which date from the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, as well as for the relevance of its collectors and identifiers. It houses a total of 2,795 specimens of lichens of which 2300 cor respond to all the provinces of Argentina, with the Patagonian and … Read more...

Benites Samamé D., Castro Mandujano N. & Guerrero Aquino M. (2023): Estudio liquenoquimico del Liquen Hypotrachyna Cirrhata [Lichenochemical study of the Lichen Hypotrachyna Cirrhata], Revista de la Sociedad Química del Perú, 89(1): 14–29

Peru is one of the most diverse countries in the world, since it contains innumerable natural resources, this is due to a great variety of ecosystems that make it conducive to the development of certain species, including lichens; For this reason, it is our interest to study lichens chemically (lichenochemistry). In the present work, the lichen Hypotrachyna cirrhata, collected in the district of Churín-Lima-Peru, was studied. Successive extractions were made with methanol from 150 g of previously … Read more...

Benítez Á., Saa E., Yangua-Solano E., Ruiz L., Cabrera O. & López F. (2023): Schinus molle como refugio para la diversidad de criptógamas epífitas indicadores de contaminación del aire en Quito, Ecuador [Schinus molle for refugia for diversity of epiphytic cryptogams as indicators of air pollution in Quito, Ecuador], Manglar, 20(4): 347–352

Air pollution in urban areas due to automotive and industrial emissions is a global problem, including the city of Quito- Ecuador. In this context, previous studies have pointed out the effective use of bioindicators of air quality using epiphytic cryptogams (bryophytes and lichens), which are pollutant-sensitive organisms because they absorb water and nutrients from the environment. In this study, we determined for the first time the changes in the richness and composition epiphytic cryptogams in … Read more...

Amigo G., Aravena J.C., Ruiz P., Kaplan M. & Sagredo E. (2024): Máxima expansión del Glaciar Tenerife (51°S) durante el último milenio [Maximum expansion of the Tenerife Glacier (51°S) during the last millennium], Revista de geografía Norte Grande, 88: 1–35

In the Patagonian Andes it is still under debate when the glaciers reached their maximum expansion during the last millennium. In this work we analyze the fluctuations of Tenerife Glacier (51°), a small mountain glacier located immediately to the south of the Patagonian Ice Fields. A detailed analysis of the glacial landforms of the valley allowed us to identify three moraine systems, in the south-central, southwestern, and northern parts of the Monte Tenerife valley, respectively. Based on ages … Read more...

Chavarría-Valverde Y., Gastezzi Arias P. & Wo Ching Wong A.V. (2024): Aprovechamiento de los musgos y los líquenes en el Cerro de la Muerte, Costa Rica [Uses of mosses and lichens in Cerro de la Muerte, Costa Rica], Revista Rupturas, 14(2): 119–144

[in Spanish with English abstract: ] The use of mosses and lichens in Cerro de la Muerte, Costa Rica is frequently carried out during the Christmas season, for use in doorways, and the rest of the year as substrates and to make baskets for plants. Despite what is stipulated in the Wildlife Conservation Law and its regulations, excessive extraction of this vegetation occurs, which can affect the decrease in its populations in natural ecosystems such as moors and high-altitude peat bogs, as well as … Read more...

Martínez Báez-Téllez M.F. & Ortega-Larrocea M.P. (2025): Bioweathering of lava flows: the case of Xitle volcano in Mexico City, Geofísica Internacional, 64: 1479–1491

This contribution describes biological weathering features produced by microbial communities growing on rock surfaces denominated biological rock crusts. We provide arguments related to the importance of recognizing rocks as an ecological niche and a review of main recognized bio-weathering processes in basaltic bedrock. We particularly address the features found in the lava flow of the monogenetic vol- cano Xitle, which is located in the volcanic field of the Sierra del Chichinautzin in the … Read more...

[in Spanish with English abstract: ] This study highlights the diversity of lichens distributed in the Paso Pehuenche area (km 121), a zone with no previous records of this group. The general objective was to contribute to lichen communities’ knowledge and understand the abiotic and biotic factors influencing their ecological distribution. The specific objectives were: (a) to know lichen diversity, (b) to determine the conservation status of the lichen species present in the area, and (c) to characterize … Read more...
