A Biosynthetic and Taxonomic Atlas of the Global Lichen Holobiont
This analysis of 794 publicly available lichen shotgun metagenomic datasets, covering 467 unique lichen species from 34 countries, revealed that lichens are complex holobionts. They harbour a variety of fungal, algal, and bacterial players with remarkable biosynthetic capabilities.

Distinct Microbial Communities in Adjacent Rock and Soil Substrates on a High Arctic Polar Desert
Understanding microbial niche variability in polar regions can provide insights into the adaptive diversification of microbial lineages in extreme environments. Compositions of microbial communities in Arctic soils are well documented but a comprehensive

Macroevolution of Specificity in Cyanolichens of the GenusPeltigeraSectionPolydactylon(Lecanoromycetes, Ascomycota) [PDF]
Patterns of specificity among symbiotic partners are key to a comprehensive understanding of the evolution of symbiotic systems. Specificity of mutualistic partners, within a widespread monophyletic group for which all species are sampled has rarely been explored.

Phylogenetic congruence between subtropical trees and their associated fungi. [PDF]
Recent studies have detected phylogenetic signals in pathogen-host networks for both soil-borne and leaf-infecting fungi, suggesting that pathogenic fungi may track or coevolve with their preferred hosts.

Bark beetles are destructive forest pests considering their remarkable contribution to forest depletion. Their association with fungi is useful against the challenges of survival on the noxious and nutritionally limited substrate, i.e., conifer tissues ...

Phylogenetic analysis indicates transitions from vegetative to sexual reproduction in the Lobaria retigera group (Lecanoromycetidae, Ascomycota) [PDF]
Phylogenetic relationships among the hypothetical species pairs Lobaria kurokawae / L. retigera and L. pseudopulmonaria / L. isidiosa were investigated based on TLC techniques and the phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacers (ITS) nrDNA.

Wind Is a Primary Driver of Fungal Dispersal Across a Mainland‐Island System
ABSTRACT Dispersal is one of the main processes shaping ecological communities. Yet, for species‐rich communities in natural systems, the role of dispersal in community assembly remains relatively less studied compared to other processes. This is the case for fungal communities, for which predictable knowledge about where and how the dispersal ...

The impact of invasive alien species on threatened and endangered species: A geographic perspective
To help guide recovery efforts, we document how invasive alien species (IAS) impact threatened and endangered species (T&ES) under the Endangered Species Act. Our research shows that 58% of T&ES (n = 1,545) were impacted by IAS, with Pacific Island species (97%) facing greater threats from IAS compared to Mainland (38%) and Atlantic Island species (22%)

New lichen fungi from a small fragment of the vanishing Atlantic Rainforest in Brazil [PDF]
In the frame of an ongoing lichen inventory of Atlantic Rainforest remnants in Northeast Brazil, five new species of Graphidaceae were discovered in a small forest fragment, Mata do Cipó, in Sergipe state, the smallest state of Brazil and among those ...
