In this study, sixteen secondary metabolites, including two chromones, four dibenzofurans, three lipids, three depsides, two aromatic compounds, a quinone, and a terpene, were detected in the methanol:acetone (1:1 v/v) extract of the lichen Hypotrachyna enderythraea (Zahlbr.) Hale, using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled to Orbitrap Electrospray Ionization tandem Mass Spectrometry (HPLC-Orbitrap ESI tandem MS/MS). These metabolites were characterized by analysis of their exact molecular … Read more...

Schüle M. & Heinken T. (2026): Rapid shift in plant species composition in burned pine forests with different post-fire management, Fire Ecology, 22: 21 [18 p.]

Background: Wildfires have burned large areas of forest in Central Europe in recent years, and the risk of fires is predicted to increase. However, this region is still underrepresented in fire ecology research. To help to fill this knowledge gap, we investigated post-fire vegetation composition and mean Ellenberg indicator values (EIV) in two burned Scots pine forests in NE Germany with different levels of salvage logging (no, partial, complete) in the first 6 years after a severe fire. Results: … Read more...

Nirhamo A. & Naranjo-Orrico D. (2026): Lichen communities on understory rowans (Sorbus aucuparia) in managed, urban, and old-growth forests in southern Finland, Biodiversity and Conservation, 35: 99 [16 p.]

Old-growth forests differ from even-aged managed forests, for example, in the age or size of canopy trees. In contrast, understory trees in managed and old-growth forests may appear superficially similar, but they may still differ in ways that would impact species communities associated with them, such as epiphytes. To address this, we surveyed epiphytic lichens on 270 rowans across managed, urban, and old-growth forests in southern Finland. The sampled trees were components of the understory and … Read more...

Šíma V. & Halda J. (2026): Urban orchards as key refugia for epiphytic fruticose lichens: A case study from Brno, Central Europe, Biologia, 81: 87 [11 p.]

Urban green spaces provide a variety of habitats essential for maintaining biodiversity in cities, including epiphytic fruticose lichens. However, urban environments differ considerably from rural and natural areas, which are less affected by human activities. This study investigated the occurrence and ecological determinants of epiphytic fruticose lichens in the city of Brno (Czech Republic), where this ecologically sensitive group of lichens had not been previously examined. Field surveys were … Read more...

(2018): Fungal Systematics and Evolution: FUSE 4, Sydowia, 70: 211–286

Eight new species presented are Calostoma areolatum collected in Wuyishan National Park (China), Crinipellis bidens from Hubei Province (China), Lactifluus sainii from Himalayan India, Inocybe elata from Yunnan (China), Inocybe himalayensis from Pakistan. Specimens previously identified as Massalongia carnosa represent a new species, namely M. patagonica restricted to southern South America. Saprolegnia maragheica is a new oomycete species of fresh water in Maraghe (Iran). Uncispora wuzhishanensis … Read more...

Darmostuk V., Etayo J., Rodriguez-Flakus P., Pino-Bodas R. & Flakus A. (2026): Phylogenetic position and revised classification of Trichonectria (Hypocreales) and related genera, Taxon, 75(1): e70032 [32 p.]

The genus Trichonectria includes a group of fungi, primarily comprising of lichen-dwelling species but also with fungicolous, bryophilous, and saprotrophic taxa. This genus is mainly characterised by the presence of thick-walled setae around the ostiole or distributed across the whole surface of the ascomata. Until now, molecular data have been available for only a limited number of species. This study aims to clarify the phylogenetic placement of Trichonectria and closely related genera within the … Read more...

El-Sofany W.I., Alshammari A.F., Alshammari M.Z., Alshammari H.K., Alshammari N.S., Masood N. & Hamden K. (2026): Extraction, characterization, and biological evaluation of atranorin against diabetes-induced reproductive dysfunction through modulation of oxidative stress, inflammatory pathways and key reproductive enzymes, International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 27(5): 2416 [19 p.]

Male fertility is declining worldwide, with notable reductions in sperm counts, emphasizing the need for new therapeutic interventions. Atranorin (ATR), a lichen-derived secondary metabolite, exhibits strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. This study assessed the protective effects of ATR on type 1 diabetes (T1D)-induced reproductive dysfunction in rats. T1D was induced in male Wistar rats via a single intraperitoneal injection of alloxan at 150 mg/kg body weight (bw). ATR significantly … Read more...

(2025): Sustainable forest planning: Assessing biodiversity effects of Triad zoning based on empirical data and virtual landscapes, Proceedings of The National Academy of Sciences of The United States of America, 122(39): e2512683122 [10 p.]

The Triad framework seeks to balance the economic and ecological functions in forested landscapes by combining intensively, extensively, and unmanaged areas, assuming a higher support to biodiversity in extensively rather than in intensively managed forests. We quantified the effects of Triad zoning on biodiversity in (sub)montane eutrophic European beech forests. Using a European-wide multitaxon database and a “virtual” landscape approach (i.e., by resampling empirical data), we evaluated … Read more...

(2026): European forest carbon and biodiversity policies have a limited win-win potential, Nature Communications, 17: 1976 [13 p.]

Climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation are key forest functions, but how to pursue them jointly in timber-managed forests is still unclear. We use a Europe-wide dataset of forest multi-taxon diversity and stand structure to (i) evaluate the importance of aboveground carbon stocks in determining species richness of six taxonomic groups; (ii) assess relationships between species richness and carbon stocks; (iii) discuss the potential to jointly enhance carbon and biodiversity and policy … Read more...

Desponts M., Brunet G., Bélanger L. & Bouchard M. (2004): The eastern boreal old-growth balsam fir forest: a distinct ecosystem, Canadian Journal of Botany, 82(6): 830–849

The objective of this project was to assess the importance of pristine forests in maintaining the botanical biodiversity of the humid boreal balsam fir forest of eastern Canada. The study was based on a comparative analysis of silviculturally mature second-growth stands and pristine forest stands at two stages of development (senescent and old growth) in the Gaspé Peninsula. The structure and composition of the stands was described, and the abundance of structural attributes evaluated. The communities … Read more...
