The descriptions are accompanied by photographs of the basidiomata on site and some microscopic characters. Additionally, the second Montenegrin record of Bovista paludosa is presented and described, for the first time with locality and habitat data. Species identifications were checked by comparing ITS rDNA sequences from samples with the sequences in GenBank.

Two populations were recorded inside an old and hardly accessible spruce forest on steep boulders (Lonicero caerulae-Piceetum) along the Frankopanski Put hiking path. The markedly cool and humid microclimate ensured by small karst dolines within the forest shapes the specific bryophyte species composition with the elements of snowbed and timberline pine krummholz vegetation and the domination of boreal and arctic taxa. Due to its pronounced isolation from other European populations, the species is certainly of relict origin in Croatian Dinaric Alps.

Epiphytic bryophytes and lichens in Graz and Podgorica (Austria and Montenegro). – Herzogia 34: 299 –326. In Graz (Austria) and Podgorica (Montenegro), epiphytic lichens and bryophytes were studied in 2017 based on a standardized approach. On 165 trees in Graz, 27 bryophyte and 38 lichen species were determined. In Podgorica, on 161 trees, 29 bryophyte and 52 lichen species were found. The mean epiphytic cover in Graz was significantly higher. Mean bryophyte cover was higher in Podgorica, mean lichen cover was significantly higher in Graz. Many species occurred in both cities. The mean species number per plot was nearly the same in both cities. Five urban habitat types were distinguished: parks, garden city, residential area, industrial area, and areas along rivers. Mean species numbers of lichens and bryophytes differed significantly between phorophyte species. The tree trunk circumference had no significant impact on the species number. Bryophytes preferred a northern and western exposition on the tree trunk. For lichens, this pattern could not be confirmed. Agonimia opuntiella, Caloplaca cerinelloides, Candelariella viae-lacteae, Catapyrenium psoromoides, and Mycobilimbia epixanthoides were reported for the first time in Montenegro.

Erzberger, Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum Berlin Dahlem (B). As result two species (Lophozia silvicola, Ulota interm edia) can be added to the Montenegrin bryophyte flora and one species (Brachythecium tenuicale) should be deleted. The recent distribution of several taxa of conservation interest was clarified, e. g. rarities like Neckera pumila, Ulota bruchii or genera potentially threatened due to climate change like Philonotis and Timmia. The results are important contributions to the preparation of an updated checklist and red list of the Montenegrin bryoflora.

It was found on conglomerate terraces in the city of Podgorica, Montenegro, at the confluence of the rivers Ribnica and Morača. The material from Montenegro as well as living samples from Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Cyprus served as a basis for a detailed description of the main characteristics of the species, on the basis of which Riccia atromarginata can be reliably identified. However, for some characteristics there is a clear variability.

This is the first report of the species from Montenegro. The species grows together with Fissidens crassipes and Fontinalis antypiretica, which are common mosses in the Montenegrin rivers. At the Balkan Peninsula, Fissidens fontanus is also known from Bulgaria, Greece and Romania.

Despite nature conservation efforts and development of nature conservation networks in countries of the region, anthropogenic influence on natural and semi natural ecosystems is increasing. Moreover, new types of disturbance and pollution arise, and one of the more recent being artificial light at night (ALAN) which has serious consequences on reproduction, navigation, foraging, habitat selection, communication, trophic and social interactions of the biota. We have estimated the level of ecological light pollution in the strict protected areas of the Republic of Serbia, the Republic of Bulgaria, and Montenegro using available Google Earth Pro tools, and the New World Atlas of Artificial Sky Brightness (2016) in the form of a kmz layer. The research has covered 13 National Parks, 11 Nature Parks and 55 Reserves. Our...

Using the most comprehensive dataset to date built with the data from museum collections and those obtained in the course of a field survey, we identified patterns of species richness, carried out multivariate analysis, and fitted generalised linear models to the presence/pseudo-absence and abundance data of the three wide-spread taxa. We complemented the information on climatic preferences of the Asplenium ferns by phytosociological data. Based on their distributions in the ecological space defined by temperature- and precipitation-related variables, the Asplenium ferns known for Montenegro were assigned to the three groups: coastal species, generalist, and highland species. Within these groups, no further niche differentiation could be detected given the available environmental factors. Phytosociological information from herbarium specimens was consistent with the results of the multivariate ecological analysis. Non-climatic environmental factors were limiting the distributions of the Asplenium ferns on the country-size scale, but were not statistically significant in separating niches among the species. Our results showed a significant impact of water deficit on the distributions of the two morphologically distinct and locally abundant species; these species can be recommended as potential indicators of the increasing water deficit stress in the European Mediterranean climate. Species richness patterns of the spleenworts of Montenegro suggested that the whole country was important for maintaining the diversity of this group of plants. This study demonstrates the value of natural history collections combined with field data to inform ecological research. For the first time, a numerical analysis of the data concerning distribution and abundance of the most common and wide-spread European ferns of the genus Asplenium in an area with the typical Mediterranean climate was carried out.

This study aims to review its range and population and assess effects of climate change. Methods: An inventory of sites from where C. forsteri has been recorded was compiled. Extent of Occurrence (EOO) and Area of Occupancy (AOO) were calculated. Population size was estimated, using an occupied tree as an 'individual-equivalent' of the moss. Climatic conditions of its current distribution were characterised and an ensemble model of its distribution generated. The latter was projected onto present and future climatic layers. 2 Results: C. forsteri has been recorded from 205 sites in 18 countries, in Europe, N Africa and SW Asia. It has been undergoing an overall decline. Most sites have few occupied trees, and a world population of 1000-5000 individual-equivalents is estimated. Model projections suggest the species will experience a range increase of +0.27-0.78 by 2050 and +0.34-0.97 by 2070, especially in the NW, in particular across France and the UK. Range loss is predicted to be-0.16-0.23 in 2050 and-0.18-0.32 in 2070, affecting the driest areas of the current range around the Mediterranean, especially in N Africa. Conclusions: C. forsteri has a relatively large EOO but a relatively small AOO, likely the product of its habitat specialism. A major reason for recent declines appears to be widespread abandonment of traditional 'pollarding' of trees. The potential climatic range of the species will shift significantly northwards over the next few decades. Keywords: Orthotricaceae; pollarding; dendrotelmata; extent of occurrence; area of occupancy, climate change has been placed in the genus Euzygodon Jur. Based on molecular data, Goffinet et al. (2004) transferred the species from Zygodon Hook. & Taylor to Codonoblepharon Schwägr. Calabrese (2006) suggested Codonoblepharon should be treated at subgeneric rank within Zygodon, whilst Matcham and O'Shea (2005) concluded the species does not fit well in either Codonoblepharon or Zygodon. Recently, its position within Codonoblepharon is supported by a study of the evolutionary history of Orthotrichoideae (Draper et al. 2021). Throughout its range, C. forsteri is a rare species, being a habitat specialist, mostly limited to the vicinity of water-filled holes in broad-leaved and coniferous trees ('dendrotelmata'). Very few other mosses are known to characteristically occur in association with dendrotelmata, the only other in Europe being Anacamptodon splachnoides (Froel. ex Brid.) Brid. (Németh and Erzberger 2015; Sandron and Hugonnot 2012; Schröck et al. 2019). Due to its general rarity and recent declines noted in some countries, C. forsteri is listed as 'Endangered' on the European Red List (Sérgio and Garcia 2019) and given limited occurrence outside Europe, there is concern it may qualify for inclusion on the world IUCN Red List. The aim of this study is to review the world range and population of C. forsteri, and to assess the possible effects of climate change, to help inform conservation assessments and research requirements.
