Masson D. (2025): Le genre Cetrelia (Parmeliaceae) dans les Pyrénées françaises et les Landes de Gascogne : répartition, écologie et originalité dans le contexte européen [The genus Cetrelia (Parmeliaceae) in the French Pyrenees and the Landes de Gascogne: distribution, ecology, and regional particularities within Europe], Bulletin de Association Française de Lichénologie, 50(2) : 201–219

An analysis of medullary chemistry, primarily using thin-layer chromatography, on 148 specimens of Cetrelia reveals the presence of the four European species C. cetrarioides, C. chicitae, C. monachorum, and C. olivetorum in the French Pyrenees. However, C. cetrarioides was not found in the Landes de Gascogne. The surveyed area differs from other European regions previously studied by having a higher proportion of C. chicitae (14 %) than C. cetrarioides (10 %). The relatively high frequency of thalli … Read more...

Wirth V. & Kohlmann C. (2021): Zur Erinnerung an zwei Flechtenforscher aus der Schramberger Gegend: Wilhelm Goll und Eugen Vayhinger, Jahreshefte der Gesellschaft für Naturkunde in Württemberg, 177: 169–179

Wilhelm Goll (1818–1894) and Eugen Vayhinger (1851–1915) supplied important contributions to the knowledge of the lichen biota of the Black Forest and the Kaiserstuhl in the southern Rhine valley (Baden-Wuerttemberg, SW Germany). We share details on the lives of both men. About Vayhinger, doctor in Schramberg, nephew of W. Goll, almost nothing was known so far. Keywords: lichens, Black Forest, Schramberg, floristic research in 19 th . century. Read more...

Mehta R. & Amaresan N. (2025): Isolation and maintenance of endosymbionts from lichens, In: Amaresan N. & Chandwani S. (eds.), Endosymbionts, p. 105–112, Springer Protocols Handbooks, Humana Press, New York

Lichens are made due to a symbiotic relationship between a mycobiont and a photobiont. Lichens are a model system to study symbiosis. However, the challenges in the isolation of lichen endosymbionts contribute to the difficulty in the area of research in lichen. This chapter aims to describe various methods used for the isolation and maintenance of lichen endosymbionts. Keywords: Endosymbionts, Lichen isolation, Photobionts, Mycobionts, Micropipette method, Spray method. Read more...

Russell K.L.M., Johnson C.J. & Hegel T.M. (2025): Importance of scale, season, and forage availability for understanding the use of recent burns by woodland caribou during winter, Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 55: 1–18

During winter, woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) may avoid burned forest for up to 60 years. Typically, that is the time required for lichens to recover following fire.We examined the response of caribou of the Klaza population (west-central Yukon, Canada) to recent burns (≤50 years) during winter. We quantified resource selection of individual caribou across the winter range and use of habitats that were adjacent to or within burns. Typically, caribou selected or used areas with … Read more...

Mazur E., Malíček J., Weerakoon G. & Śliwa L. (2025): Flavonora: a new genus of lecanoroid lichens (Ascomycota, lichenized fungi), Scientific Reports, 15: 43429 [13 p.]

The systematics of lecanoroid lichens, particularly the genus Lecanora, are fraught with difficulties arising from hidden diversity and the morphological plasticity of these organisms. These challenges are further complicated in tropical regions, where despite the richness of the lichen species systematic studies exploring their diversity are still limited. Therefore, the recent molecular survey of Bolivian Lecanora s.l. revealed some taxonomic novelties including the discovery of the distinct evolutionary lineage … Read more...

Dietrich M. (2025): Weitere interessante Flechten aus dem Schanfigg im Kanton Graubünden (Schweiz), Meylania, 76: 59–70

Further interesting lichens from Schanfigg in the canton of Grisons (Switzerland). From the diverse valley Schanfigg in the canton of Grisons, from which several special species have already been reported, further interesting lichen finds can be mentioned. Among them Hymenelia obtecta, Protoparmelia oleagina and Glaucomaria rupicola subsp. sulphurata are reported as new for Switzerland. Furthermore, 14 species are recorded for the first time in the canton of Grisons (Aspicilia mashiginensis, … Read more...

(2025): Towards a new interpretative framework for air quality and climate biomonitoring with lichens: A meta‐analysis of surveys using the European protocol, Global Change Biology, 31: e70632 [16 p.]

Air pollution and climate change remain critical environmental challenges, particularly in urban areas, where conventional monitoring networks are often too sparse to capture fine-scale exposure gradients due to their high operational costs. Epiphytic lichen biomonitoring provides a valuable complementary approach, as these organisms are sensitive to both air pollutants and climate conditions. Despite the existence of a standardized European protocol, large-scale implementation is hindered by the … Read more...
