Fernández-Brime S., Olariaga I., Baral H.O., Friebes G., Jaklitsch W., Senn-Irlet B. & Wedin M. (2018): Cryptodiscus muriformis and Schizoxylon gilenstamii, two new species of Stictidaceae (Ascomycota), Mycol Progress, 17: 295–305

Cryptodicus muriformis and Schizoxylon gilenstamii (Stictidaceae, Ostropales, Lecanoromycetes, Ascomycota) are described as new to science from collections made in Europe (Sweden, Austria, Switzerland) and North America (Arizona), based on phylogenetic analyses of three loci. Both species show unique morphological characters that distinguish them from closely related species; Cryptodiscus muriformis, growing on decorticated or sometimes corticated branches of Picea abies and Pseudotsuga menziesii, … URL EN Read more...

Mann D.H., Wilson P.R., Gaglioti B.V., Groves P. & Young M.E. (2024): Surges of the Black Rapids Glacier tracked climate over the last 600 years, Quaternary Science Reviews, 344: 108969 [23 p.]

Deposits of surge-type glaciers are widespread in the glacial geologic record; however, it is unclear how climate changes occurring at time scales of decades to centuries affect surge-type glaciers. Here we reconstruct the history of the Black Rapids Glacier (BRG) in the eastern Alaska Range since AD 1400 using a combination of geomorphology, stratigraphy, lichenometry, radiocarbon dating, and dendrochronology. Moraines in the glacier's foreland record four advances, all of which left deposits typical … URL EN Read more...

Oliva M., Palacios D., Sancho L.G., Fernández-Fernández J.M., Çiner A., Fernandes M., García-Oteyza J., Sarıkaya M.A., Serrano E., Kaveh-Firouz A., Pérez-Alberti A., Schimmelpfennig I., Vieira G., Bonsoms J., Antoniades D. & ASTER Team (2024): The origin of the ice-free areas of the Hurd Peninsula (Livingston Island, Antarctica), Quaternary Science Reviews, 344: 108991 [16 p.]

Spatio-temporal patterns of glacial retreat determine the intensity of geomorphological, hydrological, and ecological processes in the ice-free areas of the Antarctic Peninsula region. The chronology of glacial oscillations in the region following the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) is still poorly constrained and mostly limited to data from a few sites adjacent to research stations. The Hurd Peninsula, located on Livingston Island (South Shetland Islands), is mainly covered by the Hurd Peninsula Ice … URL EN Read more...

Woodward A. & Soll J.A. (2021): Establishment and survival of Subalpine Fir (Abies lasiocarpa) in meadows of Olympic National Park, Washington, Northwest Science, 94(3-4): 256-270

Establishment of trees in subalpine meadows is a potential indicator of ecological effects of climate change. Tree establishment is a multi-year process including cone and seed production, germination, establishment, and growth, with each demographic step possibly sensitive to different climate limitations. While most studies have focused on one or a few steps, this study follows a cohort of individually marked saplings for 27 years beginning as seeds in two meadows on Hurricane Ridge, Olympic National … URL EN Read more...

Wang Q., Cheng C., Agathokleous E., Liu Y., Li X. & Sheng X. (2021): Enhanced diversity and rock-weathering potential of bacterial communities inhabiting potash trachyte surface beneath mosses and lichens — A case study in Nanjing, China, Science of the Total Environment, 785: 147357

Mosses and lichens have been shown to play an important role in enhancing global chemical weathering of the surface rock. However, there are no studies concerning the effects of mosses and lichens on the microbial communities inhabiting rock surfaces. In this study, culture-dependent and culture-independent analyses were employed to compare the diversity, composition, and rock-weathering activity of bacterial communities inhabiting potash trachyte surfaces covered by mosses (MR) and lichens (LR) … URL EN Read more...

Favero-Longo S.E., Matteucci E., Pinna D., Ruggiero M.G. & Riminesi C. (2021): Efficacy of the environmentally sustainable microwave heating compared to biocide applications in the devitalization of phototrophic communities colonizing rock engravings of Valle Camonica, UNESCO world heritage site, Italy, International Biodeterioration & Biodegradation, 165: 105327

The devitalization of lithobionts prior to their removal from engraved rocks is a common conservation practice periodically undertaken in rock art sites. In this study, we assessed in situ the efficacy of three traditional biocides and of an innovative microwave heating system, and compared different application protocols to devitalize foliose and crustose lichens and a cyanobacteria-dominated biofilm on the rock engravings of Valle Camonica (UNESCO site n.94, Italy). The analysis of their vitality … URL EN Read more...

Kater I. & Baxter R. (2025): Modelling impacts of infrastructure and climatic factors on reindeer forage availability in winter, Environmental Impact Assessment Review, 112: 107857 [9 p.]

The cumulative impacts of climate change and human activities on species are often studied in isolation, limiting understanding of their combined effects. The present research addresses this limitation by proposing a novel conceptual model to assess the cumulative impacts of various anthropogenic developments and environmental conditions on ungulates. The conceptual model is applied to semi-domesticated reindeer, specifically in the context of winter grazing in northern Fennoscandia, as this species … URL EN Read more...

Terauds A., Lee J.R., Wauchope H.S., Raymond B., Bergstrom D.M., Convey P., Mason C., Patterson C.R., Robinson S.A., Van de Putte A., Watts D. & Chown S.L. (2025): The biodiversity of ice-free Antarctica database, Ecology, 106(1): e70000 [2 p.]

Antarctica is one of Earth's most untouched, inhospitable, and poorly known regions. Although knowledge of its biodiversity has increased over recent decades, a diverse, wide-ranging, and spatially explicit compilation of the biodiversity that inhabits Antarctica's permanently ice-free areas is unavailable. This absence hinders both Antarctic biodiversity research and the integration of Antarctica in global biodiversity–related studies. Fundamental and applied research on biodiversity patterns, … URL EN Read more...

Pulat S., Paguiri J.A.G., Gamage C.D.B., Varlı M., Zhou R., Park S.-Y., Hur J.-S. & Kim H. (2025): Lobaric acid suppresses the stemness potential of colorectal cancer cells through mTOR/AKT, BioFactors, 51: e70002 [11 p.]

Stereocaulon alpinum has been found to have potential pharmaceutical properties due to the presence of secondary metabolites such as usnic acid, atranorin, and lobaric acid (LA) which have anticancer activity. On the other hand, the effect of LA on the stemness potential of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells remains unexplored, and has not yet been thoroughly investigated. In this study, we examined the inhibitory activity of LA from Stereocaulon alpinum against the stemness potential of CRC cells and … URL EN Read more...

Bonari G., Bricca A., Tomasi G., Dorigatti L., Bertolli A., Andreatta D., Sabatini F.M., Di Musciano M. & Prosser F. (2025): Grassland changes in the Eastern Alps over four decades: unveiling patterns along an elevation gradient, Applied Vegetation Science, 28: e70012 [14 p.]

Aims: Alpine valleys have faced escalating global changes in recent decades such as a decline of traditional management and rural expansion. Grasslands are likely the type of vegetation most affected by these transformations. This study investigates the multifaceted changes in plant diversity over the past four decades in a major valley of the Italian Eastern Alps and examines whether changes occurred uniformly across different elevations. Location: Valsugana Valley, Eastern Alps, Italy. Methods: … URL EN Read more...
