Masumoto H. & Degawa Y. (2020): Multiclavula vernalis (Cantharellales) new to Japan, 日菌報 [Japanese Journal of Mycology], 61(1): 19–25

Multiclavula vernalis, a lichenized clavarioid fungus, was newly recorded in Japan with descriptions and illustrations of the fruiting bodies and the thalli based on specimens collected in Nagano Prefecture. This report also contains the sequence of nrDNA ITS region, the results of the molecular phylogenetic analyses, and the information on the multispore culture. Fruiting bodies of M. vernalis were scattered on the ground of Andosols in the subalpine zone in Japan, and the lichenized thallus was … Read more...

Chrismas N. & Yahr R. (2025): Genomics: A window into the molecular mystery box of lichen symbiosis, Current Biology, 35: R139–R141

How is a symbiosis built? Lichen metagenomic and metatranscriptomic surveys comparing growth stages, experimental treatments and environmental settings identify a catalogue of candidate genes—andmicrobial partners — in a developing model system. Read more...

Rosentreter R. & DeBolt A. (2025): Moss and lichen reestablishment on the Salmon River in Idaho, USA, Evansia, 42(1): 11–19

Many streams have distinct vegetation zonation, but few have quantified the time it takes to recover or reestablish those vegetation types once they are disturbed. How quickly or slowly a species responds to a disturbance can inform one of the age of past disturbances. Knowing the level at which aquatic mosses and lichens occur is helpful for determining the elevation at which to build infrastructure such as bridges or trails along a stream. Streamside zonation can be used to indicate disturbance … Read more...

Wiersma Y.F., Hennifent R., Hodge J., Gillingham D., Francis B., Skeard F. & McMullin R.T. (2025): A new hotspot for Blue Felt Lichen (Pectenia plumbea) in Atlantic Canada, Northeastern Naturalist, 32(1): 103–113

Pectenia plumbea (Blue Felt Lichen) is a cyanolichen considered rare and at-risk in eastern North America. Most of the North American distribution is in the Canadian Atlantic provinces. More than 60% of the previously documented individual thalli were from the province of Nova Scotia. Here, we document a new location for this species on the island of Newfoundland and test whether number of thalli per tree is related to tree size and extent of coverage on the bole, and whether size of largest … Read more...

Ott S. & Jahns H.M. (1999): Flechten auf Blockhalden - eine Übersicht über besiedlungsrelevante Faktoren [Lichens on block fields - an overview of colonisation relevant factors], Decheniana Beiheft, 37: 85–91

[in German with English abstract: ] Distribution of lichens on block fields is influenced by a complex system of interacting exogenous factors. Next to the large-scale influence of macroclimate and chemical properties of the substrate the microclimate is of special importance. Reproduction and interaction of the symbiotic organisms are also relevant aspects. The lifestrategies of the different species show a high degree of adaption to the conditions of the habitats. Keywords: lichens, microclimate, … Read more...

Ismail A., Hakim N.S.A., Radzun K.A., Pardi F., Latif M.T., Ikhsan N.A.K., Hidayati D. & Buyong F. (2024): Abiotic factors and distribution patterns of epiphytic lichens inhabiting different altitudes, Biodiversitas, 25: 3084–3094

Lichens are a symbiotic partnership of two separate organisms, a fungus, and an alga. Although many species of lichens exist in Malaysia, comprehensive data on lichens are still being determined. Thus, this study provides significant knowledge for the researcher to gain more understanding and information on the lichen species in Malaysia and how the abiotic factors affect the community. This study aimed to identify lichen species taxonomically, assess species composition, and compare the lichen species … Read more...

Zachariah S.A., Nayaka S., Joseph S., Gupta P. & Varghese S.K. (2020): Eleven new records of lichens to the state of Kerala, India, Journal of Threatened Taxa, 12(10): 16402-16406

The present paper deals with new records of lichen species from the state of Kerala, India. The study was conducted as part of the exploration of lichen mycota from the croplands and forests of Pathanamthitta district in Kerala. Field study and collection of specimens were conducted during the period 2017-2019. Specimens were identified using standard procedures, keys and literature followed by preservation and deposition in the recognized herbaria of the country (LWG and RHK). Eleven species of … Read more...

Pacé M., Gadet B., Beguin J., Bergeron Y. & Paré D. (2020): Drivers of boreal tree growth and stand opening: The case of Jack Pine on sandy soils, Ecosystems, 23: 586–601

The increase in open-crown forest stands in the closed-crown boreal forest of Quebec over the last 50 years prompts us to identify and understand the drivers responsible for stand opening. To do so, we studied 37 jack pine plots with varying degrees of canopy opening in the Eastern Canadian boreal forest to answer four questions: (1) Does stand opening result from a deficit in pine regeneration, from poor tree growth, or from both processes simultaneously? (2) In the event that pine stand opening … Read more...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a specific and sensitive liquid chromatography tandem mass-spectrometry method for quantification of usnic acid concentration in the lichen, Cladonia uncialis, suitable for detection of relatively small fluctuations of usnic acid concentration in response to environmental changes. Results: The resulting method was fully validated according to international guidelines and demonstrated good selectivity and sensitivity with minor levels … Read more...
