Polyphyly of the genus Canoparmelia—uncovering incongruences between phenotype-based classification and molecular phylogeny within lichenized Ascomycota (Parmeliaceae)
(PHYTOTAXA, 2016)
Many phenotypical features traditionally used to classify genera in Parmeliaceae and in lichens in general have evolved
several times independently, potentially limiting their taxonomic utility. Here, we aim to elucidate ...
Molecular data show that Hypotrachyna sorocheila (Parmeliaceae) is not monophyletic
(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 ...
Phylogenetic studies uncover a predominantly African lineage in a widely distributed lichen-forming fungal species
(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 ...
The monotypic genus Bulborrhizina belongs to Bulbothrix sensu lato (Parmeliaceae, Ascomycota)
(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 ...
The genus Relicinopsis is nested within Relicina (Parmeliaceae, Ascomycota).
(British Lichen Society, 2017)
Macro-morphological features traditionally used to segregate genera in Parmeliaceae have been shown to be highly plastic, placing limits on their taxonomic value. Here we aim to elucidate the evolutionary relationships of ...
