Genomic data has opened new possibilities to understand how organisms change over
time, and could enable the discovery of previously undescribed species. Although taxonomy …

Abstract Here, we describe Assemble Species by Automatic Partitioning (ASAP), a new
method to build species partitions from single locus sequence alignments (ie, barcode data …

Lichenicolous fungi are a heterogeneous group of organisms that grow exclusively on
lichens, forming obligate associations with them. It has often been assumed that …

With rare exceptions, the shape and appearance of lichen thalli are determined by the
fungal partner; thus, mycobiont identity is normally used for lichen identification. However, it …

The phenolic, flavonoid, tannin and proanthocyanidin content of the lichen Cladonia foliacea
with and without its lichenicolous fungus Heterocephalacria (Syzygospora) bachmannii was …

Background In this study, we investigate species limits in the cyanobacterial lichen genus
Rostania (Collemataceae, Peltigerales, Lecanoromycetes). Four molecular markers (mtSSU …

Central Italy have a temperate climate in the lower levels, while above the treeline the
climate is alpine (for more information see Nimis 2016). Most of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia …

Inland dune ecosystems are rich in terricolous lichen species. However, these communities
are sensitive to human activities, both locally and globally. Since terricolous lichens have a …

Lichen specific metabolites (LSMs) have interesting biological activities and quantitative
variations may be present intraspecifically. For example, variations in medullary …
