Yang Y., Groves C., Garber P., Wang X., Li H., Long Y., Li G., Tian Y., Dong S., Yang S., Behie A. & Xiao W. (2019): First insights into the feeding habits of the critically endangered black snub-nosed monkey, Rhinopithecus strykeri (Colobinae, Primates), Primates, 60(2): 143-153

Since its initial discovery in 2010 in the Gaoligong Mountains on the Sino–Myanmar border, there remains no direct information on the feeding habits of the black snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus strykeri). This species is on the verge of extinction, with an estimated remaining population of < 400 individuals. Due to difficulties in following these monkeys across steep mountainous terrain, during 203 observation days (September 2015–January 2017) we recorded 80 h of behavioral records of a wild … Read more...

Chandra K., Joshi Y., Upadhyay S. & Bisht K. (2019): Can Rumex hastatus D. Don. be used as a biocontrol agent for removing lichens colonizing monuments? A case study from Kumaun Himalaya, National Academy Science Letters, 42: 369–373

Role of lichens in deteriorating monuments constructed by stone artefact is quite well known, and till now various biocides and techniques have been used to remove them from monuments, all having some disadvantages at some level. In the present paper, the results and potential of leaf extract of Rumex hastatus D. Don. as a cost-effective, easy handling and eco-friendly biocontrol agent are being described. Read more...

Curtis T.J. (2019): A study of the lichenized, lichenicolous and allied fungi of northeast Ohio, OBELISK: Newsletter of the Ohio Moss and Lichen Association, 16(1): 2-12

Since the late months of 2016, the author has extensively surveyed the natural areas throughout Northeast Ohio for all lichenized, lichenicolous, and allied fungi. This was done in order to create the first comprehensive baseline list for the region. As a result, a total of 405 recognized species have been discovered, and of these, 112 are being reported for the first time in Ohio. Read more...

Li G., Li X., Chen W., Li J., Zhu H., Hu X., Zhou H. & Sun H. (2019): Effects of degradation severity on the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of topsoil in alpine meadow on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, west China, Catena, 187: 104370

Grassland degradation is an important cause of soil erosion and environment degradation in the world. So far few have quantitatively analyzed how the level of soil degradation of grassland affects the physical, chemical and mechanical traits of topsoil in the grassland, as well as the resistance of the surface root-soil composite to erosion. This paper attempts to fill this knowledge gap by studying the impact of soil degradation triggered by rodents with the advent of denudated patches on alpine … Read more...

Sahin E., Psav S., Avan I., Candan M., Sahinturk V. & Koparal A. (2019): Cytotoxic, apoptotic and cell migration inhibitory effects of atranorin on SPC212 mesothelioma cells, Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine, 9(7): 299-306

Objective: To investigate the effects of atranorin, a lichen secondary metabolite, on SPC212 malignant mesothelioma cells in vitro. Methods: SPC212 malignant mesothelioma cell line was used. 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay was used to evaluate cytotoxic effects of atranorin and cisplatin at 24, 48 and 72 h. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, dihydrochloride staining were used for determining cell and nucleus morphology, respectively. Wound … Read more...

Ahmed S., Roy S., Tayung K. & Yasmin F. (2020): Assessment of antibacterial potential of different solvent extract of foliose lichens against human pathogenic bacteria, Journal of Applied Pharmaceutical Science, 10(10): 72-76

In vitro antibacterial activity of acetone, methanol, petroleum ether, and diethyl ether extracts of three foliose lichen species Dirinaria picta, Dirinaria Papillulifera, and Dirinaria applanata have been investigated against two clinically significant human pathogenic bacteria (Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus, MTCC 737 and Gramnegative Escherichia coli, MTCC 443) using agar cup diffusion method. Commercial drug streptomycin (1 mg/ml) was taken as a standard positive and 5% dimethyl sulphoxide … Read more...

(2019): A raster version of the Circumpolar Arctic Vegetation Map (CAVM), Remote Sensing of Environment, 232: 111297

Land cover maps are the basic data layer required for understanding and modeling ecological patterns and processes. The Circumpolar Arctic Vegetation Map (CAVM), produced in 2003, has been widely used as a base map for studies in the arctic tundra biome. However, the relatively coarse resolution and vector format of the map were not compatible with many other data sets. We present a new version of the CAVM, building on the strengths of the original map, while providing a finer spatial resolution, … Read more...

Wahab H., Wahab A., Anwar A., Khalid A.N., Mayrhofer H., uddin S., Alwahibi M.S., Elshikh M.S. & Iqbal R. (2025): Rinodina moziana (lichenized ascomycetes physciaceae), a new record from Pakistan, Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution, 72: 3097–3105

This study reports the first discovery of Rinodina moziana, a previously unrecorded lichen species in Pakistan, identified during a field survey in the Malakand division, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Detailed morphological, chemical and internal transcribed spacer (ITS)-based phylogenetic analyses confirmed the species’ identity, marking it as Rinodina moziana (lichenized Ascomycota). This result greatly increases the known distribution of R. moziana and emphasizes the region’s unexplored lichen diversity. … Read more...

Coca L.F., Lumbsch H.T., Mercado-Díaz J.A., Widhelm T.J., Goffinet B., Kirika P. & Lücking R. (2025): Diversity, phylogeny, and historical biogeography of the genus Coccocarpia (lichenized Ascomycota: Peltigerales) in the tropics, Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 206: 108312 [15 p.]

Coccocarpia Pers. currently comprises 28 mostly broadly distributed tropical species of fungi associated with cyanobacteria. Three of these taxa, C. erythroxyli, C. palmicola, and C. pellita, are presumably pantropical to subcosmopolitan, with broad morphological variation across their range. This study provides the first global phylogeny of the genus, to test current species concepts and infer distribution patterns, based on samples from Colombia, Puerto Rico, Gabon, Kenya, Thailand, Fiji, and Hawaii. … Read more...
