Fernández-Prado N., Méndez M. & Martínez I. (2026): Diversity and seasonal dynamics of arthropods interacting with the lichen Lobaria pulmonaria, Journal for Nature Conservation, 93: 127328 [14 p.]

Forest habitat complexity is crucial for biodiversity, although fine-scale complexity remains understudied. On three trunks, arthropods assemblages are shaped by bark structure and seasonality, but epiphytic lichens add structural complexity to trunks, contributing to retain moisture and microclimate stability. This study examines how microhabitat complexity provided by Lobaria pulmonaria, a foliose cyanolichens, interacts with bark structure and seasonal variation to shape arthropod communities … Read more...

Steinová J., Zuna M., Leshchenko Yu. & Konečná E. (2024): Monitoring výskytu druhu Cladonia stellaris v NP Šumava v letech 2020–2023 [Monitoring of Cladonia stellaris in the Šumava National Park in years 2020–2023], Silva Gabreta, 30: 35−53

Cladonia stellaris represents a rare relict boreal aspect of the Czech lichen flora. This reindeer lichen is one of the critically endangered lichen species of the Czech Republic and the main factors threatening its occurrence in our territory in the future include habitat disturbance and climate change. Between 2020 and 2023, monitoring of the status of the six known localities of this species in the Šumava National Park was carried out, during which ten permanent monitoring plots were established … Read more...

Mulroy M., Suhr I., Dart J., Balderas E., Raposo Z. & Rajakaruna N. (2026): Slow succession: A comparison of the saxicolous lichens of a 50-year-old abandoned chromite mine and a nearby undisturbed ultramafic outcrop, Ecological Research, 41(4): e70095 [7 p.]

Pioneering and succession are well-studied phenomena in the field of ecology but are poorly understood for lithic habitats dominated by cryptogams. Yet pioneering and establishment of epilithic communities constitutes a fundamental ecological process that provides a precursor to the formation of soil terrestrial communities. Abandoned mines offer an exciting opportunity to explore pioneering and succession of lithic habitats. In our study, we quantitatively compared the lichen communities of an approximately … Read more...

Wang S., Gao K., Niu D., Jin T., Zhang B. & Bai R. (2026): A new species and two new records of Gloeoheppia (Gloeoheppiaceae) in China and an identification key for this rare genus, Phytotaxa, 762(2): 167–176

Based on morpho-anatomical, chemical, and phylogenetic analyses, a new species (Gloeoheppia planum) and two new records (G. erosa and G. polyspora) in China were identified. Gloeoheppia planum is characterized by squamules that are flat or slightly concave in the center, often forming mats up to 5 cm in diameter. Gloeoheppia erosa is well recognized by its very rough and cracked upper surface. Gloeoheppia polyspora is characterized by a swollen thallus, a smooth upper surface, and 16-spored asci. … Read more...

Hardenbol A.A., Jones F.A.M., Sjögren J., Ekström A.L., Hekkala A.-M., Jönsson M., Koivula M. & Strengbom J. (2026): Red-listed species under threat: Unexpectedly high deadwood thresholds for their presence in managed boreal forests, Journal of Applied Ecology, 63: e70436 [12 p.]

Red-listed species form an important basis for conservation action, yet their specific habitat requirements often remain elusive due to their rarity and cryptic nature. We address this gap by testing whether commonly used indirect measures of forest biodiversity can also indicate the presence of red-listed species and yield informative threshold values. We conducted a fieldwork campaign covering 120 plots along a gradient of structural availability and forest management intensity in Sweden. In these … Read more...

Payzulla T., Adil G. & Mamut R. (2026): New and noteworthy records of Myriolecis (Lecanoraceae, lichenized Ascomycota) in the arid regions of northwestern China, MycoKeys, 133: 323–344

Myriolecis represents one of the richest genera in species diversity within Lecanoraceae. In this study, approximately 700 specimens collected from high-altitude, temperate continental arid-climate regions in northwestern China, including the Kunlun Mountains, the southern Tianshan Mountains, and the Karakoram Range, were examined. A total of six species were identified, among which three are described as new to science: Myriolecis convexa, M. incisa, and M. kunlunica; and three are newly recorded … Read more...

Liang F.H., Wang J.X., Ai M., Jiang W., Zhou S.N., Zhao Z.T., Wang X.Y. & Hu L. (2026): Four new species of Acarosporaceae (Acarosporales, Lecanoromycetes) with carbonized epihymenial accretions from China, MycoKeys, 133: 367–385

Based on a combination of morphological, chemical, and phylogenetic analyses, we report four new species from China: Acarospora carbonacea, A. rorida, Sarcogyne knudsenii, and S. xizangensis. These four species are characterized by endolithic thalli, apothecia with carbonized epihymenial accretions, an Acarospora-type ascus, and the absence of secondary metabolites. Acarospora carbonacea sometimes can develop a white epilithic ecorticate thallus, whereas such a thallus is not observed in the other … Read more...

Bhat M., Darshni P. & Srivastava A. (2025): Heavy metals uptake in lichens: A comprehensive review, Journal of Pollution, 8(1): 360 [8 p.]

Heavy metals are regarded as one of the most significant environmental contaminants. They can easily get entered in food chain and eventually exert toxic effects through contaminated soils, crops and water, thereby becoming a serious global issue of concern today. There are numerous ways to remove them from the environment, but majority of which are expensive and difficult to employ, effectively. In order to eliminate inert metals and metal contaminants from contaminated air, soil and water, bioremediation … Read more...

(2025): Diversity hosted by moss carpets in the Amazonian forest of Amapá, new insights from DNA metabarcoding, Acta Amazonica, 55: e55bc24374 [21 p.]

Bryophytes play an important role as habitats for many organisms, especially invertebrates, however, few studies have focused on understanding the cryptic ecosystems associated with them. The use of molecular tools allows for advances in diversity assessment of environmental samples. In particular, the use of DNA metabarcoding is an efficient method for detection of the DNA of rare and cryptic species, including resting stages typically undetected in morphological surveys. We used DNA metabarcoding … Read more...
