Using Red List Indices to monitor extinction risk at national scales

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 5, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
The Red List Index (RLI) measures change in the aggregate extinction risk of species. It is a key indicator for tracking progress toward nine of the Aichi and many proposed post‐2020 Global Biodiversity Framework Targets. Here, we compare and promote two formulations of the RLI used for reporting biodiversity trends at national scales. Abstract The Red

Chromosome-level genome assembly of the photobiont microalga Trebouxia sp. 'A48' from the lichen Xanthoria parietina. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Lichens are symbiotic assemblies consisting of multiple organisms, chiefly a fungus and a photosynthetic microorganism, or photobiont. Among diverse photobionts, the most prevalent is the chlorophyte alga Trebouxia. We produced a chromosome‐level assembly of Trebouxia sp. ‘A48’, a photobiont of Xanthoria parietina. The genome was assembled into

Comprehensive Analysis of Secondary Metabolites in Usnea longissima (Lichenized Ascomycetes, Parmeliaceae) Using UPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS and Pro-Apoptotic Activity of Barbatic Acid

Molecules, 2019
Considering the importance of ultra-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-quadrupole time of flight-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS) hyphenated techniques for analysis of secondary metabolites from crude extracts, the ...

Pleistocene glacial and interglacial ecosystems inferred from ancient DNA analyses of permafrost sediments from Batagay megaslump, East Siberia

Environmental DNA, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1265-1283, November 2022., 2022
As the past is the key to the future, to understand community transformations and ecological interactions, we reconstructed ecosystem‐wide biotic composition (from viruses to megaherbivores) between glacials and interglacials from the Middle and Late Pleistocene at the Batagay megaslump, east Siberia.

Evolutionary biology of lichen symbioses

New Phytologist, Volume 234, Issue 5, Page 1566-1582, June 2022., 2022
Summary Lichens are the symbiotic outcomes of open, interspecies relationships, central to which are a fungus and a phototroph, typically an alga and/or cyanobacterium. The evolutionary processes that led to the global success of lichens are poorly understood.

Nuanced qualitative trait approaches reveal environmental filtering and phylogenetic constraints on lichen communities

Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2022., 2022
Abstract We propose that a qualitative trait approach based on more detailed nuanced traits may reveal previously overlooked patterns, especially when combined with phylogenetic perspectives. By sampling epiphytic lichens and using a functional approach based on nuanced qualitative traits, such as a much greater resolution over photobiont identity ...

Distribution of Xanthoparmelia pulvinaris (Parmeliaceae) in Hungary

Studia botanica hungarica, 2022
A synthesis on the distribution of the protected lichen species Xanthoparmelia pulvinaris in Hungary is provided. In addition to summarising the herbarium and published data, we have significantly increased the number of known occurrences with systematic field mapping and clarified the distribution pattern of the species in Hungary.

A review of the genus Bulbothrix Hale: the species with medullary norstictic or protocetraric acids

MycoKeys, 2012
This study presents data of eight Bulbothrix (Parmeliaceae, Lichenized Fungi) species containing norstictic or protocetraric acid in the medulla. The current species delimitations were confirmed. New synonyms are proposed, new characteriscts are detailed
