ntroductionThe practice of Global North (i.e., "richer" globalized countries located in the northern hemisphere, except for Australia and New Zealand) researchers making roundtrips to South "poorer" developing around tropics Southern hemisphere) collect materials then process, analyze, publish results with little no involvement from local collaborators is referred as "helicopter research" or "parachute [1].At best, scientists provide logistical help knowledge community, such field site...
Panama forms part of the Central American biodiversity hotspot, one most important hotspots in world. While plants are relatively well studied Panama, documentation fungal diversity is still a pioneer phase. In this publication, four species Agaricomycetes recently collected described as new to science, two Agaricales, namely Gliophorus roseus and Humidicutis roseorubra, lichenised Cantharellales, called Multiclavula caput-serpentis, Gomphales, Gloeocantharellus salmonicolor. These...
Understanding and describing the diversity of living organisms is a great challenge. Fungi have for long time been, unfortunately still are, underestimated when it comes to taxonomic research. The foundations were laid by first mycologists through field observations. These important fundamental works been remain vital reference works. Nevertheless, non-negligible part studied funga escaped their attention. Thanks modern developments in molecular techniques, study fungal has revolutionized...
Introducción: Los líquenes cortícolas son organismos que responden a modificaciones del hábitat, por lo se consideran modelo para evaluar los cambios ambientales en diferentes ecosistemas. Objetivos: Determinar la riqueza y composición de comunidades macrolíquenes bosques remanentes bosques. Además, evaluó el efecto factores microclimáticos tres áreas con diferente grado intensidad lumínica densidad vegetación arbórea sobre distribución diversidad registrada. Métodos: El estudio realizó...
Novel species of fungi described in this study include those from various countries as follows: Antarctica, Leuconeurospora bharatiensis accumulated snow sediment sample. Argentina, Pseudocercospora quetri on leaf spots Luma apiculata. Australia, Polychaetomyces verrucosus submerged decaying wood sea water, Ustilaginoidea cookiorum Scleria levis, Xylaria guardiae endophyte healthy leaves Macaranga tanarius. Belgium, Iodophanus taxi Taxus baccata. Belize, Hygrocybe mirabilis soil. Brazil,...
Five new species belonging to Hermatomyces (Hermatomycetaceae, Pleosporales) are described based on morphological investigations of specimens collected rotten twigs and stems various plants in Panama as well phylogenetic analyses sequence data nuclear ribosomal protein coding genes (EF1 -a. RPB2, β-TUB). The as: bifurcatus, H. constrictus, megasporus, sphaericoides, verrucosus spp. nov. Previously such sphaericus tucumanensis were identified among the studied specimens. combination,...
In the present study, conducted in a secondary dry-seasonal forest pacific lowlands of southwestern Panama over 2 years, fungal diversity is linked to plant phenology, litter, and climatic data. Agaricales fungi showed maximum species richness at beginning rainy seasons, probably due important litter accumulation during dry season increase humidity favoring growth. Species declined wet possibly torrential rains, moulds, decreasing availability nutrients. Occurrence foliar pathogenic...
Abstract Entoloma (Agaricales, Basidiomycota) is a species-rich genus with approximately 2000 species known worldwide. In Central America, however, information about the of this sparse, despite generally high biodiversity in region. Recently, 124 specimens were collected Panama, Chiriquí Province. present publication, morphology 20 represented by more than one specimen described and depicted photographs, line drawings, scanning electron micrographs. Molecular phylograms based on ITS or...
Atractilina Dearn. & Barthol. and Spiropes Cif. are genera of asexual fungi that comprise species mainly hyperparasitic on black mildews (Meliolales, Ascomycota). Although a common group anamorphic fungi, they have been described up to now only by morphology their systematic position is unknown. The present study provides morphological treatise all known Meliolales, including insights into position, based DNA sequences generated here for the first time. was conducted, 33 herbarium...
New records of species Asterinaceae with intercalary appressoria infecting plants in Central America and Panama are described illustrated detail. Asterolibertia licaniicola on the new host Licania arborea (Chrysobalanaceae), nodulosa hosts Oxandra venezuelana Xylopia sp. (Annonaceae), Cirsosia splendida Chrysobalanus icaco Hirtella triandra (Chrysobalanaceae). The teleomorph C. is linked for first time to asexual morph Homalopeltis chrysobalani based morphological observation. For presented...
Species of the genus Russula are key components ectomycorrhizal ecosystems worldwide. Nevertheless, their diversity in tropics is still poorly known. This study aims to contribute knowledge species classified subsection Roseinae based on specimens recently collected tropical montane rainforests western Panama. A five gene multilocus phylogeny nuclear markers ITS nrDNA, MCM7, RPB1, RPB2 and TEF-1α was constructed identify systematic position 22 collections from Four new species, cornicolor,...
Abstract The Brachybasidiaceae are a family of 22 known species plant-parasitic microfungi belonging to Exobasidiales, Basidiomycota. Within this family, the largest genus Kordyana develop balls basidia on top stomatal openings. Basidial cells originate from fungal stroma filling substomatal chambers. Species typically infect Commelinaceae. During fieldwork in neotropics, fungi morphologically similar spp. were found Goeppertia (syn. Calathea spp., Marantaceae), namely G. panamensis Panama...
A pathogenic bitunicate ascomycetous fungus, identified as Asterotexis cucurbitacearum, was found repeatedly on living leaves of Cucurbita pepo (gourd) and Sechium edule (chayote) in Panama. A. cucurbitacearum represents a new report for Panama S. is host plant this fungus. Based an examination herbarium specimens, species also reported the first time from Costa Rica Grenada. Cells scutellum extending to base fruiting structure producing appressorium leaf surface are documented time. As...
Two new species of the genus Asterina are described from living leaves collected in provinces Chiriquí and Bocas del Toro western Panama. alloplecti on Alloplectus ichtyoderma (Gesneriaceae) differs other Gesneriaceae by its stalked appressoria host relationship. compsoneurae Compsoneura sprucei (Myristicaceae) can be distinguished members Myristicaceae larger ascomata, larger, prominently spinose ascospores New records for Panama corallopoda a plant (Solanum trizygum, Solanaceae), A....
Species of the ectomycorrhizal genus Lactifluus, and often entire sections, are typically unique to a single continent. Given these biogeographic patterns, an interesting region study their diversity is Central America Caribbean, since closely connected considered part North American continent, but biogeographically belong Neotropical realm, comprises several regions with different geologic histories. Based on multi-gene phylogeny morphological study, this shows that America, Mexico...
