The Lecanoromycetes includes most of the lichen-forming fungal species (> 13500) and is therefore one diverse class all Fungi in terms phenotypic complexity. We report phylogenetic relationships within resulting from Bayesian maximum likelihood analyses with complementary posterior probabilities bootstrap support values based on three combined multilocus datasets using a supermatrix approach.

Summary We studied the evolutionary history of Parmeliaceae (Lecanoromycetes, Ascomycota), one largest families lichen‐forming fungi with complex and variable morphologies, also including several lichenicolous fungi. assembled a six‐locus data set nuclear, mitochondrial low‐copy protein‐coding genes from 293 operational taxonomic units ( OTU s). The lifestyle originated independently three times in lichenized ancestors within Parmeliaceae, new generic name is introduced for these In all...
Fungal species are not immune to the threats facing animals and plants thus also prone extinction. Yet, until 2015, fungi were nearly absent on IUCN Red List. Recent efforts identify fungal under threat have significantly increased number of published assessments. The 597 in 2022-1 List update (21 July 2022) basis for first global review extinction risk they face. Nearly 50% assessed threatened, with 10% NT 9% DD. For regions a larger assessments (i.e., Europe, North America, South America),...
Recent studies of the global diversity lichenized fungal family Graphidaceae suggest that there are a large number species remaining to be discovered. No less than 640 have been described since 2002, including 175 new introduced in collaborative effort single issue this journal. These findings largest tropical crustose lichens may an even higher Parmeliaceae. To estimate whether discovery is significant step forward cataloguing extant family, we employed parametric method predict richness...
Japewiella dollypartoniana is described as new to science based on material from the Appalachian Mountains and adjacent regions of Atlantic Coastal Plain. It distinguished other species Japewia by its sorediate thallus production norstictic acid. Placement in supported characters fertile populations discovered Unicoi western North Carolina which have apothecia that resemble those tornoënsis (Nyl.) Tønsberg but differ having a well-developed proper exciple ascospores without thick, gelatinous sheath.
A revised version of Chapter F the International Code Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants is presented, incorporating amendments approved by Fungal Session 11th Mycological Congress held in San Juan, Puerto Rico July 2018. The process leading to outlined. Key changes Juan are (1) removal option use a colon indicate sanctioned status name, (2) introduction correctability incorrectly cited identifiers names typifications, (3) name place author citations. Examples have been added aid...
Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park is located in Collier County at the extreme southwestern corner of Florida, close to Everglades National and Big Cypress Preserve. The 18th Tuckerman Workshop, an annual gathering professional amateur lichenologists mycologists from United States Canada, this time with additional participants Puerto Rico, Peru, Austria, was held locality March 1–7, 2009. Lichens were collected over a five day span four sites within Together previously made collections,...
Abstract Plant–fungal associations strongly influence forest carbon and nitrogen cycling. The prevailing framework for understanding these relationships is through the relative abundance of arbuscular (AM) versus ectomycorrhizal (EcM) trees. Ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) shrubs are also common in forests interactions between co‐occurring ErM AM EcM trees could shift soil biogeochemical responses. Here we test hypotheses that effects on either extend or redundant with those Using regional...
A combination of molecular phylogenetic analyses ITS and mtSSU sequences, morphological chemical were used to investigate the lineages nominally included in sterile lichen genus Lepraria. core group (Lepraria s. str.) was resolved as sister Stereocaulon. Species producing secondary compounds argopsin, pannarin usnic acid found belong other lichen-forming ascomycetes. Study Leprocaulon revealed that all species, except type, likely represent members Lepraria str. have evolved a fruticose...
Sea-level rise (SLR) and changes in temperature weather patterns have been documented are projected to increase substantially. Although well-studied drivers of climate change–mediated biodiversity loss, the study SLR remains anthropocentric. Even under conservative estimates, will imperil four coastal regions. The areas most threatened by not considered global conservation priorities, because delineation hotspots is based on organisms assumption that lesser-known groups mirror theirs. We...
Premise Lichens are fungi that enter into obligate symbioses with photosynthesizing organisms (algae, cyanobacteria). Traditional narratives of lichens as binary symbiont pairs have given way to their recognition dynamic metacommunities. Basidiomycete yeasts, particularly the genus Cyphobasidium , been inferred be widespread and important components lichen Yet, presence basidiomycete yeasts across a wide diversity lineages has not previously tested. Methods We searched for lichen‐associated...
• Premise of this study: Aquatic cyanolichens from the genus Peltigera section Hydrothyriae are subject to anthropogenic threats and, therefore, considered endangered. In study we addressed phylogenetic placement within . We delimited species and identified their symbiotic cyanobacteria. Methods: Species delimitation population structure were explored using monophyly as a grouping criterion (RAxML) Structurama based on three protein‐coding genes in combination with two nuclear ribosomal...
Symbioses among co-evolving taxa are often marked by genome reductions such as a loss of protein-coding genes in at least one the partners means reducing redundancy or intergenomic conflict. To explore this phenomenon an iconic yet under-studied group obligate symbiotic organisms, mitochondrial genomes 22 newly sequenced and annotated species lichenized fungi were compared to 167 nonlichenized fungi. Our results demonstrate first broad-scale atp9 from mitochondria Despite key functions...
