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 ... -
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 ...
