Smith M.P., Campbell L.M., Richardson D.H.S., Parsons M.B. & Rickwood C.J. (2026): Co-sampled fruticose and foliose epiphytic lichens as spatial biomonitors of airborne mercury and arsenic in a historical “Gold Rush” mining district , FACETS, 11: 1–16

Historical gold mine tailings may have elevated total mercury (Hg) and total arsenic (As) concentrations. We collected and analyzed the fruticose lichen genus Usnea and the foliose lichen genus Platismatia for biomonitoring airborne sources of Hg and As at the historical Montague Gold Mine District in Nova Scotia, Canada. We investigated spatial trends of Hg and As measured from 112 Usnea (10 species) and 113 Platismatia (2 species) lichen thalli collected across four sampling grids covering both … Read more...

Ochoa-Hueso R., Delgado-Baquerizo M., Estébanez B. & Homet P. (2026): Cyanolichen crusts are a key predictor of nitrogen cycling and fixation potential in soils from semiarid Mediterranean ecosystems, Pedobiologia, 115: 151124 [10 p.]

Biocrusts play a key role in supporting nitrogen (N) cycling and bioavailability in drylands. However, the taxon-specific contribution of biocrust constituents to soil N fixation and bioavailability is far less understood. We measured the composition of soil-associated biocrusts and soil pigment content in a semiarid shrubland from central Spain, and evaluated the potential regulatory capacity of biocrusts, and their forming constituents (mosses, lichens, and cyanobacteria) over the N cycle (storage, … Read more...

Redkina V.V., Krivina E.S., Soromotin A.V. & Temraleeva A.D. (2026): First records of cyanobacteria and microalgae in sand dunes of the Russian high north: morphological and DNA barcoding evidence. , Archives of Microbiology, 208: 270 [35 p.]

This study presents the first integrated analysis of cyanobacterial and microalgal diversity in soils and biological soil crusts from the sand dunes of the Russian High North, combining morphological characterization with DNA barcoding of cultured isolates. We identified 33 taxa across four phyla, dominated by Chlorophyta (Trebouxiophyceae and Chlorophyceae). Although ITS2 sequencing is widely used for phylogenetic studies, only approximately 35% of eukaryotic algal strains in our study could be … Read more...

Toraman E., Kalın Ş.N., Bayındırlı K.N., Günaydın Ş., Keleş F., Altay A. & Budak H. (2026): Pro-oxidant effect of lobaric acid as a therapeutic strategy against breast cancer: a molecular perspective, Molecular Biology Reports, 53: 520 [11 p.]

Background: This study aimed to investigate the anticancer effects of lobaric acid (LA), a lichen acid, in MCF-7 cells. Our previous study demonstrated that LA exhibits anticancer effects by triggering apoptosis in MCF-7 cells. However, the relationship between this anticancer effect and the oxidative pathway and apoptosis mechanism has not been explained. In this study, the cytotoxic and anticancer effects of LA on MCF-7 cells were investigated through oxidative stress and thioredoxin system pathways. Methods … Read more...

(2025): New and noteworthy records of Plants, Lichens and Insects in Altai Territory and Republic of Altai (Southern Siberia). II, Acta Biologica Sibirica, 11: 1499–1531

This study reports new geographical occurrences for seven species of vascular plants (Cyperus michelianus, Gymnocarpium continentale, Rhynchospora alba, Scheuchzeria palustris, Schoenoplectiella supina, Veronica × schmakovii, and V. × sessiliflora), eight species of lichens (Chaenotheca chlorella, Lathagrium dichotomum, Myrionora albidula, Scoliciosporum perpusillum, Physcia alnophila, P. tenella, Peltigera collina, and P. extenuata), and nine species of Lepidoptera in the Altai Territory and the … Read more...

Brūmelis G., Dauškane I., Ikauniece S., Laime B., Ozols J. & Tjarve D. (2026): Assessment of the quality of EU boreal forest habitats of importance on the basis of indicators of natural structures and processes, European Journal of Forest Research, 145: 44 [13 p.]

All European Union countries are obliged to report on the status of EU forest habitats of importance, which needs to rely on assessments of their quality; however, standardised methods to accomplish this goal remain elusive. A survey of EU forest habitats of European importance in Latvia was conducted from 2017 to 2021, which resulted in a large dataset of structures, processes and species within forest patches identified as such. We analysed the quality of five selected boreal forest habitats ranging … Read more...
