Six DNA regions were evaluated as potential barcodes for Fungi , the second largest kingdom of eukaryotic life, by a multinational, multilaboratory consortium. The region mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 used animal barcode was excluded marker, because it is difficult to amplify in fungi, often includes large introns, and can be insufficiently variable. Three subunits from nuclear ribosomal RNA cistron compared together with three representative protein-coding genes (largest...
Anisotropic (direction-dependent) long-distance dispersal (LDD) by wind has been invoked to explain the strong floristic affinities shared among landmasses in Southern Hemisphere. Its contribution not yet systematically tested because of previous lack global data on winds. We used winds coverage from National Aeronautics and Space Administration SeaWinds scatterometer test whether similarities Hemisphere moss, liverwort, lichen, pteridophyte floras conform better with (i) anisotropic LDD...
The lichen-forming fungal genus Cladonia is species-rich with approximately 500 described species. accepted barcode for fungi (ITS rDNA) often fails in identifying spp. In order to find other markers that, combination the ITS rDNA region can be used species identification Cladonia, we studied loci IGS rDNA, ef1α, rpb2 and cox1. A total of 782 sequences from 36 have been analyzed. PCR amplification success rate, intraspecific interspecific genetic distance variation, calculated using K2P...
Nomenclatural type definitions are one of the most important concepts in biological nomenclature. Being physical objects that can be re-studied by other researchers, types permanently link taxonomy (an artificial agreement to classify diversity) with nomenclature name diversity). Two proposals amend International Code Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN), allowing DNA sequences alone (of any region extent) serve as taxon names voucherless fungi (mainly putative taxa from...
This paper presents the results of a combined analysis 300 specimens genus Cladonia collected in southwest province Pontevedra. The species were classified based on to morphological, chemical (TLC) and genetic (ITS rDNA) characters. A total 28 identified, including is first record for Iberian Peninsula portentosa, which contains fumarprotocetraric, perlatolic usnic acids, as well homosekikaica, new Galician flora ciliata, It important note that morphological characteristics, chemistry DNA...
Abstract The distribution of sixty-six Peltigera species in 230 biogeographic provinces or 40 regions are presented. A hierarchical clustering approach, used to identify clusters with similar patterns (floristic elements), resolved four groups made up Neotropical, Southern Hemisphere, Antarctic and mainly Holarctic species. Kingdom is rich the highest number also endemic species; Australian Cape Kingdoms have lowest endemics. briefly discussed.
Abstract Phenotypic characters, either morphological or chemical, have shown to be insufficient delimit species boundaries in the genus Cladonia . The present study addresses circumscription of within cariosa group, examining a number specimens currently accepted taxa , C. symphycarpa acuminata subcariosa and latiloba We employed maximum likelihood Bayesian methods phylogenetic reconstructions based on DNA sequences ITS, rpb2 ef1α regions. Our results show that group consists at least four...
Species boundaries are often not easy to establish in lichens of the genus Cladonia, where each species displays a great morphological variability. Cladonia convoluta and C. foliacea two commonly accepted, morphologically similar lichen taxa. Molecular (nuclear ITS rDNA, rpb2 partial gene, cox1 gene), chemical characters were used elucidate taxonomic rank these Our analyses carried out on material from several European countries. Other related species, viz. firma, cervicornis pulvinata also...
Research concerning ecological relationships between corticolous lichens and substrate factors in Cuba is limited. This study aims to determine the variation of composition, richness, frequency cover area montane rainforest Gran Piedra related physical chemical factors, including diameter trunk, roughness, per cent moisture, pH, concentration bark phenols. In addition, lichen-phorophyte specificity tree species Gomidesia lindeniana, Coccoloba wrightii, Clusia tetrastigma, Dendropanax...
The members of the Cladonia humilis complex are characterized by a well-developed primary thallus and broadly scyphose podetia. In present study, this was phylogenetically analyzed to test boundaries between species determine usefulness phenotypic characters distinguish them. C. conista, cyathomorpha, hammeri, humilis, kurokawae, nashii, pulvinella, subconistea were examined.Four DNA loci sequenced monophyly species. For phylogenetic reconstructions, maximum parsimony, likelihood, Bayesian...
Abstract The Cladonia furcata complex treated here comprises C. farinacea , multiformis scabriuscula stereoclada and subrangiformis . well-known taxonomic complexity of this group is caused by wide phenotypic variation high morphological similarity among the species, for which reason we investigated distribution in phylogeny characters traditionally used to distinguish species complex. A phylogenetic analysis presented here, based on three loci (ITS rDNA, IGS rDNA RPB2 ), representing...
Abstract A checklist of Lichen-forming, Lichenicolous and Allied Fungi Ecuador is presented with a total 2599 species, which 39 are reported for the first time from country. The names three Hypotrachyna montufariensis , H. subpartita Sticta hypoglabra previously not validly published, validated. Pertusaria oahuensis originally introduced by Magnusson as ‘ ad interim ’, validated Lepra . form Leucodermia leucomelos f. albociliata Two new combinations, Fissurina tectigera F. timida made,...
In 2015, an international lichenological excursion to Armenia was organized by the Young Biologists Association NGO and Organization for Phyto-Taxonomic Investigation of Mediterranean Area.One main goals this study lichen diversity Khosrov Forest State Reserve.As a result inventory, 176 species lichenized lichenicolous fungi have been found in protected area.Out these, 49 are reported first time from Armenia: Acarospora versicolor, Agonimia tristicula, Anema decipiens, Arctomia fascicularis,...
The macrolichens are a conspicuous component of the montane rainforest Gran Piedra, Santiago de Cuba. This study aims at comparing species composition, frequency and cover area epiphytic between north south slopes, as well to determine variation in composition communities along around tree trunk. Six plots were sampled; three on north-facing slope slope. We found 21 macrolichens. Sticta beauvoisii, Hypotrachyna lineariloba Pannaria tavaresii new records for Differences observed whereas...
Abstract The lichen species Cladonia angustiloba is characterized by a well-developed primary thallus and narrow squamules which show deep incisions, the presence of usnic fumarprotocetraric acids. Morphologically it similar to C. foliacea convoluta , from can be distiguished squamule size morphology. Since characters were used distinguish do not represent different lineages, necessary examine taxonomic status means DNA sequences. In this study, delimitation within complex was studied...
A catalogue of 1228 taxa (1185 ascolichens, 3 basidiolichens and 40 lichenicolous fungi) found in Andalusia is afforded. The based on bibliographic references MACB herbarium specimens. Of them, 11 are new records Andalusia, 122 Cordoba province, 1 Granade Huelva 2 Malaga province Seville province. We propose the exclusion 74 old references, because lack any confirmation
