    • Molecular data show that Hypotrachyna sorocheila (Parmeliaceae) is not monophyletic 

      Kirika, Paul M.; Divakar, Pradeep K.; Crespo, Ana; Gatheri, Grace W.; Mugambi, George; Leavitt, Steven D.; Moncada, Bibiana; Lumbsch, H. Thorsten (The American Bryological and Lichenological Society, Inc, 2016)
      Lichens that reproduce by means of vegetative propagules (soredia or isidia) are generally thought to have broad geographic distributions. However, recent studies have shown that some asexually reproducing lichens with ...

    • The monotypic genus Bulborrhizina belongs to Bulbothrix sensu lato (Parmeliaceae, Ascomycota) 

      Kirika, Paul M.; Leavitt, Steven D.; Divakar, Pradeep K.; Crespo, Ana; Gatheri, Grace W.; Mugambi, George; Lumbsch, H. Thorsten (The American Bryological and Lichenological Society, Inc., 2015)
      The phylogenetic position of the monotypic genus Bulborrhizina is studied using molecular data from three loci (mtSSU, nuLSU and ITS) aligned with sequences from 95 other samples of parmelioid lichens. Bulborrhizina africana ...

    • Phylogenetic studies uncover a predominantly African lineage in a widely distributed lichen-forming fungal species 

      Kirika, Paul M.; Divakar, Pradeep K.; Crespo, Ana; Mugambi, George; Orock, Elizabeth A.; Leavit, Steven D.; Gatheri, Grace W.; Lumbsch, H. Thorsten (MycoKeys, 2016)
      A number of lichen-forming fungal species are widely distributed. Here, we investigate biogeographic patterns in a widely distributed isidiate taxon –Parmelinella wallichiana – using molecular sequence data. Our results ...

    • Two new xylariaceous species from Kenya 

      Mugambi, George; Huhndorf, Sabine M.; Rogers, Jack D. (Mycotaxon, 2009)
      A survey of wood rotting ascomycetes in Kenya produced taxa in Biscogniauxia and Kretzschmaria that did not match descriptions of any known species and are hereby described as new species. The species of Biscogniauxia ...
