Hakobjanyan A., Melekhin A., Sukhacheva M., Beletsky A. & Pankratov T. (2025): Mycobiomes of six lichen species from the Russian subarctic: A culture-independent analysis and cultivation study, Journal of Fungi, 11(12): 848 [31 p.]

Lichens are defined as holobionts, whose thalli are known to contain a significant diversity of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and viruses. Research into the presence of these organisms in lichens remains limited. Therefore, assessing the diversity of fungi in different species of lichen remains a relevant task. In this study, we analysed the taxonomic composition of the mycobiome of six lichen species from northern Russia. To achieve this, we employed high-throughput sequencing and cultivation methods … Read more...

Rümenapp M., Becker B. & Pushkareva E. (2025): Environmental gradients shape fungal diversity and functional traits in Arctic biocrusts, Journal of Fungi, 11(12): 847 [7 p.]

Arctic biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are known to host diverse fungal communities that facilitate nutrient cycling and soil stabilisation in these harsh environments. In this study, the diversity and composition of fungi were assessed across elevation and spatial gradients in biocrusts from Kongsfjorden (Svalbard) using metagenomic sequencing. Within the observed fungal phyla, Ascomycota was dominant across all sites, with Basidiomycota and Rozellomycota also exhibiting high abundances. Furthermore, … Read more...

Llimona X. (1981): Les Adaptacions dels líquens a les zones àrides, Butlletí de la Institució Catalana d’Història Natural, 46: 19–23

This is a short rewiew of some taxonomic, morphologic and ecophysiological aspects of lichens in arid regions, incorporating some of our own data. Percentages of dominant genera and life forms are, in Spanish arid regions (Ebro Valley, Almería and Murcia), close to the figures given for classical extraeuropean deserts and semideserts. Relationship with Californian arid regions is commented. Ecophysiological adaptations include improved absorption of atmospheric water. Dew and high relative air … Read more...

Sporadical recollections of lichens related to Cistus monspeliensis, C. salviifolius, C. albidus i C. laurifolius started in 1998, as a complement to mycological studies of Cistion in Catalonia. It has been collected lichens which grow on rocks, soil, both calcareous and siliceous, and on bark and wood of species of Cistus genera. Those communities often suffer from fires, which makes impossible to keep mature lichen populations, instead, fires favour opportunistic species. Among … Read more...

Forests are much more than just a group of trees: they are complex ecosystems where plants, animals, insects, fungi, and microorganisms all work together to keep everything in balance. Each organism has an important job to do. But forests can get sick, just like people. Climate change, pollution, pests, or a mix of these can cause problems. That is why scientists keep an eye on forests to make sure they are healthy and continue to provide us with clean air, water, and valuable resources for the future. … Read more...

Contribution to lichen diversity of Eastern Pyrenees: lichens from Ribera del Catllar (Ripollès, Catalonia, Spain). The survey on the lichen diversity from Ribera del Catllar (Ripollès) has yield a catalogue of 193 taxa. Among them, one taxon is newly reported for the Iberian Peninsula (Aspicilia spermatomanes), and nine taxa are novel for Catalonia (Candelariella efflorescens, Lecidea swartzioidea, Lepraria borealis, Rhizocarpon copelandii, R. simillimum, R. sublavatum, Rinodina malangica, Stereocaulon … Read more...

The study on the lichen diversity of the Tossal Gros (Arbeca, les Garrigues), a hill located within the sicoric territory, and surronded by several sorts of crops, has yield a catalog of 56 species, two of them are new quotation for Catalonia. The features of the lichen composition, dominated by crustose species with a trebouxioid alga as a photobiont, show up the huge stress that affects the area; not only the drought due to climatic conditions, but also the strong anthropic activity being developed … Read more...

A lichenological survey of the plateaus and basins of the central part of Catalonia has yielded a catalogue of 334 taxa, 301 of which are lichenized fungi and 33 lichenicolous fungi. Among the quoted species, six taxa are newly reported for the Iberian Peninsula (Acarospora chrysocardia, Diplotomma hedinii, Lecanora barkmanniana, L. farinaria, Lichenostigma subradians and Skyttea hawksworthii). In addition, 14 taxa are added to the current biota of Catalonia (Caloplaca lucifuga, Candelariella faginea, … Read more...
