... They are known to produce over 1000 unique secondary metabolites. The amount of usnic acid produced by lichens varies and factors such as the algal partner and season have been shown to have a significant relationship [46,47]. These metabolites exhibit various biological activities that include insecticidal bait for the control of malaria vectors. ...

... Th is paper is the 18th part of the series launched in Studia botanica hungarica focusing on the new chorological records, nomenclature, and taxonomy of plant species from algae to vascular plants and fungi. Almost 380 records of 169 taxa have been reported in this series from 10 countries (Albania, Hungary, Kosovo, Lithuania, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Ukraine) (Aszalósné Balogh et al. 2021, Barina et al. 2015, 2020, Csiky et al. 2017, Deme et al. 2019, Farkas et al. 2022, Király et al. 2019a, b, Matus et al. 2018, Mesterházy et al. 2017, 2020, Rigó et al. 2023, Schmidt 2020, Schmidt et al. 2018, Süveges et al. 2021. ...

... Most lichen taxa have never been studied using thin layer chromatography (TLC) in Latvia, including the complex Cladonia pyxidatachlorophaea. Studies conducted in neighbouring countries and in Hungary demonstrated that this complex includes a larger number of species that are already known in Latvia (Kowalewska et al., 2008;Tsurykau & Golubkov, 2015;Matwiejuk, 2017;Farkas et al., 2023). ...

... The lichen cover as well as total cryptogamic cover increased (the latter from 4% to 15%) in the midterm grazing exclosures (14-18 years) but declined in the long-term (37-38 years), while the moss cover continued to increase with time [52]. We also detected productivity changes in different phases of the exclosure-induced dynamics (Table 5) and revealed changing growth rates through a primary cryptogamic succession [124], although we were still not able to predict a species-specific outcome in continuation of our experiment. ...

... F. soredians is originally an Atlanto-Mediterranean foliose species ( Figure S2), which seems to be spreading in Hungary [65]. Its 19 Hungarian localities were discovered between 2011 and 2022. ...

... H. adglutinata is a small foliose species, with narrow (0.3-0.7(-2) mm wide) lobes and maculiform or capitate soralia ( Figure 2). In addition to its four old occurrences from 1925 to 1960, it has been reported from several localities recently from 2000 to 2022, including urban habitats (e.g., [66][67][68] ...
