Uras İ.S., Candido P.H.S., Luís C.M., Marques V., Rodrigues C.M.P., Sobral R.G., Baurmeister A., Konuklugil B. & Gaudêncio S.P. (2026): Antarctic marine-derived fungi: Metabolomic signatures and antibiofilm-driven anti-infective potential against drug resistant pathogens, Marine Drugs, 24(8): 267 [20 p.]

Antarctic marine-derived fungi represent an underexplored reservoir of bioactive secondary metabolites shaped by extreme environmental pressures. In this study, nine fungal isolates obtained from Antarctic macroalgae, lichens, sponge tissue, and sediments were evaluated for their antimicrobial, anticancer, antibiofilm, and metabolomic profiles. Untargeted LC–MS/MS molecular networking (GNPS) revealed a chemically rich metabolome, dominated by alkaloids, followed by polyketides, meroterpenoids, … Read more...

(2026): Occurrence data for habitat suitability modelling to support conservation planning in Latvia: species list, observations and ecogeographical variable selection, Biodiversity Data Journal, 14: e194577 [29 p.]

Background: Achieving the goals of the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 requires reliable, evidence‑based tools to guide conservation planning. Habitat suitability models can help identify priority areas by predicting suitable habitats for taxa of conservation concern. However, their usefulness depends heavily on the quality of input data. Using heterogeneous data sources, especially citizen-science occurrences, poses challenges for ensuring quality-informed use of these records. In addition, … Read more...

Hellou S., Chikh Y.A., Ferron S., Bernard A., Kumar G.D., Babu K.S., Pizarro D., Boustie J., Uriac P., Divakar P.K. & Le Dévehat F. (2026): Integrated metabolomic and phylogenetic profiling of Parmelia species from Algeria, Bryologist, 129(3): 178–192

Algeria's geographic position, between the Mediterranean Sea and the desert, provides a valuable context for understanding lichen species distributions. However, lichens in this country remain poorly studied. To address this gap, 36 specimens of the genus Parmelia were collected from northern Algeria and analyzed using molecular phylogenetic methods and comprehensive chemical profiling. Four species of the genus Parmelia sensu stricto (P. omphalodes, P. saxatilis, P. sulcata, and P. submontana) have … Read more...

Zhurbenko M.P. (2026): Cecidonia protoblasteniae (Lecideales), a new lichenicolous discomycete on Protoblastenia terricola from the Russian Arctic, Phytotaxa, 768(2): 88–92

A new lichenicolous discomycete, Cecidonia protoblasteniae, is described as new to science from the Russian Arctic. The new species is characterized by dark, superficial lecideine apothecia with a prominent margin; a cupular, dark brown exciple that is K−, N+ reddish brown; a greyish brown epihymenium; branched, anastomosing, coherent paraphyses that are apically hardly enlarged; 8-spored asci resembling the Porpidia-type; hyaline, broadly ellipsoid to subglobose, aseptate ascospores; and by its … Read more...

Halder S., Aptroot A. & Gachhui R. (2026): New species of Thelopsis and two new records of lichens from India, Feddes Repertorium, 137: e70140 [4 p.]

The present study deals with a new species of saxicolous crustose lichen Thelopsis indica and two new records of corticolous crustose lichens named as Cryptothecia nigeriensis and Fissurina varieseptata from India. The new species of Thelopsis was collected from Horhap forest of Jharkhand, India. It is diagnosed as epilithic, smooth, areolate thallus c. 0.1–0.8 mm across, ascomata on thalline warts, 1–2 sunken ostioles, paraphysoids reticulately branched and anastomosing, ascospores 1‐septate, … Read more...

Qu H., Pang K., Gan T., Loron C.C., Ouyang Q., Cui W., Li G., Yuan X. & Xiao S. (2026): Fungal–algal associations from the early Ediacaran herald increasing symbiotic complexity before modern lichens, Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 293(2075): 20260673 [12 p.]

Symbiosis is a fundamental biological relationship and metabolic strategy that drove eukaryotic evolution and shaped early ecosystems. Lichens, as symbiotic consortia of fungi (mycobionts) and photosynthesizers (photobionts), are a paradigmatic example. However, molecular analysis suggests that lichenized fungi did not appear before land plants, and the evolutionary trajectory of fungal–algal interactions before modern lichens remains hitherto enigmatic. Here, we conduct a detailed reinvestigation … Read more...

Carvalho P., López de Silanes M.E., Paz-Bermúdez G., Marques J. & Figueira R. (2026): Checklist of lichens and lichenicolous fungi from mainland Portugal, Journal of Fungi, 12(8): 549 [25 p.]

Mainland Portugal has a lichenological tradition spanning more than three centuries, yet it still lacks a modern, critically revised checklist of its lichen biota. This gap is particularly relevant given the increasing role of species checklists as authoritative references for DNA metabarcoding applications and the expansion of large biodiversity datasets, including those derived from citizen science initiatives. Here we present the first comprehensive checklist of lichens and lichenicolous fungi … Read more...

Nimis P.L., Dose S., Pittao E., Sargsyan N., Muggia L. & Gasparyan A. (2026): Life on UNESCO heritage: Modelling lichen colonization on an Armenian cross-stone (khachkar), Journal of Fungi, 12(8): 547 [14 p.]

This study investigates lichen colonisation on a medieval basalt Armenian cross-stone (khachkar) in the Noratus cemetery, the largest extant concentration of memorial khachkars in Armenia, integrating fine-scale vegetation sampling, microhabitat assessment, and multivariate analysis. A preliminary survey of c. 30 cross-stones confirmed that the selected one was representative of the site. Thirty-six evenly spaced relevés of 10 cm2 were recorded across the surface, with lichens identified macroscopically … Read more...
