Ísleifsdóttir D., Xu M., Biwersi M., Leblanc M.-J., Heiðmarsson S., Pálsson S., Sorensen J.L., Viktorsson E.Ö. & Ólafsdóttir E.S. (2026): Is the reindeer lichen Cladonia arbuscula really producing isousnic acid? A chemotaxonomy query, Molecules, 31(1): 143 [10 p.]

Isousnic acid (isoUA) has been detected in a few usnic acid (UA)-producing lichens with chemotaxonomic values. IsoUA was first isolated from a specimen belonging to Cladonia arbuscula s.l. (referred to as C. mitis in the publication). However, the isolation and detection of isoUA in this Cladonia species have not been reproduced and confirmed with clear evidence. This study focused on C. arbuscula s.l. collected in Iceland and aimed to (1) identify the lichen specimen using DNA barcoding and (2) … Read more...

Gavarró P., Bros V., Sáez L., Santos X., Real J., Pons D. & Puig-Gironès R. (2026): Evaluating biotic interactions in a hard and fragile ecosystem: xerophilous land snails and epilithic cryptogram communities in rocky outcrops, Acta Oecologica, 130: 104153 [10 p.]

In biodiversity hotspots like rocky outcrops, species distribution is shaped by environmental factors at multiple scales, with microhabitat characteristics like substrate composition and shelter playing key roles. These fragile ecosystems host a rich diversity of species, including endemic and endangered taxa. However, they remain underexplored in conservation research, despite their crucial role in sustaining xerophilic biodiversity. This study investigates the environmental drivers of xerophilous … Read more...

Pino-Bodas R., Ahti T., Stenroos S. & Sanmartín I. (2026): Diversification and spatio-temporal evolution of Cladoniaceae (Lecanorales, Ascomycota), a widespread family of lichen-forming fungi, Fungal Biology, 130(1): 101710 [18 p.]

The lichen-forming fungi family Cladoniaceae has a great ecological relevance and forms the most important group of terricolous lichens. They make up a significant element of the vegetation of numerous biomes, such as boreal forests, the tundras, and the páramos of South America. Within Cladoniaceae, Cladonia is the most diverse genus, distributed in all continents. Here, we explore the role played by dispersal and ecological opportunity in the diversification and geographic expansion of Cladonia … Read more...

Cuellar M.A., Mejía J., Quintero-Pertuz H., Castro-Álvarez A., Mellado M., Vera-Quezada W., Montenegro G., Espinosa-Bustos C., Bridi R. & Salas C.O. (2026): Experimental and In Silico Studies to Unravel the Antioxidant and Antibacterial Properties of Lichen Metabolites from Pseudocyphellaria compar and Pseudocyphellaria nudata, Antioxidants, 15(1): 34 [21 p.]

Lichens are a source of diverse compounds with a wide range of biological activities, making them of significant interest for novel drug development. In this study, metabolites were extracted from Lobariaceae lichens, and their antioxidant and antibacterial properties were experimentally investigated and explained using various computational approaches. Specifically, four lichen metabolites were analyzed using three methods to assess their antioxidant capacity. Antibacterial activity assays were … Read more...

Bernet J., Vonarburg C. & Otálora M.A.G. (2025): First European record of Sticta arenosella and new Central European records of Sticta fuliginoides, Plant and Fungal Systematics, 70(2): 75–84

The genus Sticta has recently undergone significant taxonomic revisions in Europe, yet central regions such as Switzerland were not included in those revisions. To assess the diversity of the species complex Sticta fuliginosa in Switzerland, we used an integrative taxonomic approach combining morphological and genetic analyses. We sampled both the well-known localities, as well as newly discovered localities along the Doubs River. Our results showed that S. fuliginosa is presently absent from Switzerland. … Read more...

Palice Z. & Malíček J. (2025): Lišejníky přírodní památky Obora Hvězda v Praze [Lichens of the Obora Hvězda/Star Game Preserve Nature Monument in Prague], Bohemia centralis, 39: 99–135 & 337–355

[in Czech with English abstract: ] The Obora Hvězda/Star Game Preserve Nature Monument (78.8 ha, 314–375 m a. s. l.) is one of the unique sites in Prague thanks to its extensive and close to nature forest cover. A detailed survey of lichens revealed 173 species. Among them, epiphytes predominate, but the communities on calcareous sandstones and marlstones are also valuable, where numerous rarely reported species were found, especially from the family Verrucariaceae. The taxa Arthonia ligniaria, … Read more...

Coradeghini A., Quartino M.L., García R.A. & Yañez A. (2023): La colección de Líquenes del Herbario Nacional de Plantas Celulares (BA) y sus especímenes tipo [The Lichen collection of the National Herbarium of Cellular Plants (BA) and its type specimens], Revista del Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales, 25(2): 259–274

The lichen collection of the National Herbarium of Cellular Plants of the Argentine Museum of Natural Sciences “Bernardino Rivadavia” (BA-MACN) has a high historical value due to the antiquity of many of its specimens, which date from the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, as well as for the relevance of its collectors and identifiers. It houses a total of 2,795 specimens of lichens of which 2300 cor respond to all the provinces of Argentina, with the Patagonian and … Read more...

Benites Samamé D., Castro Mandujano N. & Guerrero Aquino M. (2023): Estudio liquenoquimico del Liquen Hypotrachyna Cirrhata [Lichenochemical study of the Lichen Hypotrachyna Cirrhata], Revista de la Sociedad Química del Perú, 89(1): 14–29

Peru is one of the most diverse countries in the world, since it contains innumerable natural resources, this is due to a great variety of ecosystems that make it conducive to the development of certain species, including lichens; For this reason, it is our interest to study lichens chemically (lichenochemistry). In the present work, the lichen Hypotrachyna cirrhata, collected in the district of Churín-Lima-Peru, was studied. Successive extractions were made with methanol from 150 g of previously … Read more...

Benítez Á., Saa E., Yangua-Solano E., Ruiz L., Cabrera O. & López F. (2023): Schinus molle como refugio para la diversidad de criptógamas epífitas indicadores de contaminación del aire en Quito, Ecuador [Schinus molle for refugia for diversity of epiphytic cryptogams as indicators of air pollution in Quito, Ecuador], Manglar, 20(4): 347–352

Air pollution in urban areas due to automotive and industrial emissions is a global problem, including the city of Quito- Ecuador. In this context, previous studies have pointed out the effective use of bioindicators of air quality using epiphytic cryptogams (bryophytes and lichens), which are pollutant-sensitive organisms because they absorb water and nutrients from the environment. In this study, we determined for the first time the changes in the richness and composition epiphytic cryptogams in … Read more...
