Abstract Parmelioid lichens are a diverse and ubiquitous group of foliose lichens. Generic delimitation in parmelioid has been state flux since the late 1960s with segregation large, heterogeneous genus Parmelia into numerous smaller genera. Recent molecular phylogenetic studies have demonstrated that some these new genera were monophyletic, not, others, previously believed to be unrelated, fell within single monophyletic groups, indicating need for revision generic delimitations. This study...
Allergic respiratory diseases are considered to be among the most important public health concerns, and pollen is main cause of allergic worldwide. However, biological component air quality largely underestimated, there an gap in legislation this area. The aims study were characterise occurrence incidence exposure relation potential sources delineate areas aerobiological risk Madrid Autonomous Region based on homogeneous patterns exposure. This uses historical database Palynological Network...
Biogeographical studies of lichens used to be complicated because the large distribution ranges many species. Molecular systematics has revitalized lichen biogeography by improving species delimitation and providing better information about range limitations. This study focuses on major clade tropical parmelioid lichens, which share a chemical feature, presence isolichenan in cell wall, morphological microscopic pores uppermost layer. Our previous phylogenetic revealed that largest genus...
ABSTRACT Pollen, fungi, and bacteria are the main microscopic biological entities present in outdoor air, causing allergy symptoms disease transmission having a significant role atmosphere dynamics. Despite their relevance, method for monitoring simultaneously these particles metropolitan environments has not yet been developed. Here, we assessed use of Hirst-type spore trap to characterize global airborne biota by high-throughput DNA sequencing, selecting regions 16S rRNA gene internal...
Rhinoconjunctivitis and allergic asthma are among the most frequent diseases in world, pollen is their main cause. The incidence of respiratory expected to grow coming years as a consequence ambient pollution, changes land use cover cities, climate change. In this context global change, environmental information provided by monitoring warning networks must be updated possible order useful end users cities. Madrid Autonomous Region (central Spain) has suffered noticeable change its land-use...
Parmelioid lichens form the largest monophyletic group within Parmeliaceae, a family distributed worldwide. The genus Parmelina was described by Hale (1976a) Hale, M. E. Jr. 1976a. A monograph of lichen (Parmeliaceae). Smithsonian Contributions to Botany, 33: 1–60. [Google Scholar] accommodating species from both hemispheres. We have employed parsimony, Bayesian and maximum likelihood analyses combined data set nu ITS, LSU mt SSU rDNA sequences (1) test monophyly (2) elucidate generic status...
Abstract Monographs are fundamental for progress in systematic botany. They the vehicles circumscribing and naming taxa, determining distributions ecology, assessing relationships formal classification, interpreting long–term short–term dimensions of evolutionary process. Despite their importance, fewer monographs now being prepared by newer generation botanists, who understandably involved principally with DNA data analysis, especially answering phylogenetic, biogeographic, population...

The position of the sterile western Mediterranean crustose–placodioid lichen generally known as Lecanora lisbonenesis has been investigated using mitochondrial SSU rDNA sequence data. It proves to belong an independent genus Physciaceae, for which generic name Coscinocladium is available, and earliest species Variolaria gaditana . Previous reports apothecia in prove be a result mixtures with other species. A lectotype selected L. lisbonensis , neotype designated V. new combination gaditanum...
Abstract The importance of the anatomy and fine morphology reproductive structures for systematics family Parmeliaceae is highlighted by new genus Notoparmelia , described here Australasian species Parmelia . These were known to form a monophyletic lineage but correlated characters its delimitation lacking. A major characteristic used circumscription this overlooked apothecial anatomy. proper exciple reduced one layer formed exclusively large hyphae without any clear branching pattern...
Interest in biological air quality monitoring is rising, and updated public information increasingly demanded by stakeholders the case of airborne pollen, which requires maintaining high standards data quality. The number aerobiological stations worldwide continuously growing, management becoming more complex with increase scale networks. Quality control exercises are crucial for used pollen routine over time. In this study we show results an intercomparison test among technicians Madrid...
Abstract Two asexual reproductive strategies of the common lichen Pseudevernia furfuracea are described. Although species propagates mainly by isidia, some specimens also show development soralia. Morphological, chemical and molecular analyses were performed on three such sorediate from Canary Islands, Morocco Turkey. Maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood Bayesian indicate that: a) samples represent only a morphological variant mode b) separation taxa (at level or below) basis their...
Abstract Hypotrachyna is a speciose genus of primarily tropical and oceanic lichen-forming fungi. It includes species with distinct distribution patterns, such as pantropical, restricted disjunct species. We used dataset mitochondrial SSU, nuclear ITS LSU ribosomal DNA from 89 specimens to study the historical biogeography genus. employed Bayesian maximum likelihood approaches for phylogenetic analyses, likelihood-based approach ancestral area estimation, estimate divergence times major...
