Following discussions of the definition of the terms 'lichen'and 'thallus', the role of
lichenization in the evolution of asco-and basidiomycetes, and divergence and convergence …

The lichen family Teloschistaceae is one of the larger families of lichenized fungi. Currently it
includes one very large heterogenous genus, Caloplaca, with some 1000 or more species …

Based on an overview of progress in molecular systematics of the true fungi
(Fungi/Eumycota) since 1990, little overlap was found among single‐locus data matrices …

The Lecanoromycetes includes most of the lichen-forming fungal species (> 13 500) and is
therefore one of the most diverse class of all Fungi in terms of phenotypic complexity. We …

This study uses a set of PCR-based methods to examine the putative microbiota associated
with lichen thalli. In initial experiments, generalized oligonucleotide-primers for the 16S …

The resolution of the phylogenetic relationships within the order Teloschistales
(Ascomycota, lichen-forming-fungi), with nearly 2000 known species and outstanding …

To provide a comprehensive molecular phylogeny for peltigeralean fungi and to establish a
classification based on monophyly, phylogenetic analyses were carried out on sequences …

The phylogeny of the subfamily Xanthorioideae (Teloschistaceae) is re-analysed based on
ITS, LSU and mtSSU sequences, including a new set of specimens representing 31 genera …

We describe three new, seemingly-cryptic species in the lichen genus Caloplaca
(Teloschistaceae) with black apothecia. Those species, separated in nrITS and β-tubulin …

This volume has been long awaited by me because it deals with that problematical British
species 'Caloplaca arnoldii', and certainly provides a way forward. To begin, the Caloplaca …
