The lichen genus Cetrelia represents a taxonomically interesting case where
morphologically almost uniform populations differ considerably from each other chemically …

This study was focused on lichenicolous fungi from the Antarctic region whose diversity is
not yet well known. The sampling was carried out in the maritime Antarctica, South Shetland …

Historical mass extinction events had major impacts on biodiversity patterns. The most
recent and intensively studied event is the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary (ca. 66 …

Fungal populations that reproduce sexually are likely to be genetically more diverse and
have a higher adaptive potential than asexually reproducing populations. Mating systems of …

The first record of Parmelia asiatica from North America is presented. The species differs
from other sorediate Parmelia taxa in having narrow, sublinear lobes with circular or …

The lichen-forming genus Parmelia Acharius occurs worldwide but its centre of distribution is
in the northern hemisphere and it is widespread in boreal-temperate Eurasia and North …

Seventeen corticolous shrubby apotheciate Usnea species without vegetative propagules
are reported from Brazil, including five species that are new to science: Usnea aurantiaca …

Taxa in the genus Melanelia (Parmeliaceae, Ascomycota) belong to a group of saxicolous
lichens with brown to black foliose thalli, which have recently undergone extensive changes …

Parmeliaceae is the largest family of lichen-forming fungi with a worldwide distribution. We
used a target enrichment data set and a qualitative selection method for 250 out of 350 …

Multiple drivers shape the spatial distribution of species, including dispersal capacity, niche
incumbency, climate variability, orographic barriers, and plate tectonics. However …
