Abstract Aim In the face of global environmental change, identifying factors that shape ecological niches species and understanding mechanisms behind them can help to draft effective conservation plans. The differences in distributions may then highlight between closely related taxa. We investigate applicability niche modelling comparison space detect areas with priority for biodiversity analyse spaces used by Location United States America, Mexico Central America. Methods apply ordination...
Abstract Aim Biodiversity is rapidly disappearing at local and global scales also affecting the functional diversity of ecosystems. We aimed to assess whether was correlated with species both were affected by similar land use vegetation structure drivers. Better understanding these relationships will allow us improve our predictions regarding effects future changes in on ecosystem functions services. Location The Netherlands. Methods compiled a dataset c . 3 million observations 66 out 106...
Many species of Ganoderma exhibit a high phenotypic plasticity. Hence, particularly among them, the morphological concept remains difficult to apply, resulting in currently confused taxonomy; as consequence, geographical distribution range many also very uncertain. One areas with strong uncertainty, far is concerned, Neotropics. It common that names described from other regions, mainly northern temperate areas, have been applied Neotropical species. The aim present study was determine which...
Mycena section Calodontes is macromorphologically distinguished by the collybioid or mycenoid basidiome, which pink, purple, violet, and, rarely, reddish-brown yellowish. It further characterized presence of oxalate crystals in basal mycelium. The comprises approximately 40 taxa, only five species and one variety exhibit bioluminescence. As part an extensive study on sect. Mexico, specimens belonging to this were collected subjected morphological analysis. Sequences from nuclear internal...
The genus Psilocybe contains iconic species of fungi renowned for their hallucinogenic properties. Recently, also included non-hallucinogenic that have since been shifted to the Deconica. Here, we reconstruct a multigene phylogeny Psilocybe, Deconica, and other exemplars families Hymenogastraceae Strophariaceae sensu stricto (s. str.), using three nuclear markers (nLSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, rpb1). Our results confirm monophyly Deconica within s. str., as well numerous robust infrageneric...
Seven species of bioluminescent fungi are recorded from the cloud forests in Mexico. Six represent new belonging to genus Mycena, whereas Mycena globulispora is a distribution record for country. Descriptions, illustrations, photographs, and an identification key Mexico provided. Sequences nuc rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 = ITS) region were generated barcoding purposes comparisons with similar species.
Abstract Ganoderma is a genus of wood-decaying polypores fungi with several species, in which morphological delimitation has been challenging due to its large plasticity. Knowledge the taxonomic diversity Cuba remains incomplete. Here, we identified some mainly laccate, present based on and phylogenetic data investigated their relationships other species. Type specimens, recently collected materials, herbarium specimens vitro cultures were studied delimit The affinities ten species inferred...
AbstractTwenty-five individuals were studied from four unrelated Mexican Mestizo families with Hb D-Los Angeles. We observed five compound heterozygotes: for S and D, one D β-thalassemia (β0 39 nonsense mutation); 16 S, seven β-thalassemia, while the remaining normal. The S/Hb patients had severe hemolytic anemia, in D/β-thalassemia patient, anemia was similar to that of a heterozygote; therefore, is clinically harmful when it associated S. βS chromosomes Benin haplotype two Bantu family, βD...
We examined cross-species transferability and usefulness of six nuclear microsatellite markers developed in consubgeneric eastern white pine (Pinus strobus) with regard to ecologically commercially important Mexican species conservation genetics concern: Pinus chiapensis (Mart.)Andresen, P. flexilis James, strobiformis Engelm., ayacahuite Ehrenb.Ex Schltdl, var.veitchii (Roezl) G.R. Shaw.Four loci were found be polymorphic different species, moderate high informativeness a relatively small...
A new Asian species of Crepidotus (Basidiomycota, Agaricales), C. asiaticus, is presented based on morphological and nuc rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 = ITS) large subunit (28S) sequence data. This species, found in India Thailand, characterized by the centrally stipitate medium-sized basidiomata, orange to reddish brown pileus, white brownish lamellae, stipe. Based morphology, asiaticus similar neotropical thermophilus. However, microscopic characters, especially size...
Pines are considered to be difficult for DNA extraction. However, from one species the other there is variation in phenolic profiles and seed size that might affect final yields quality. Two extraction protocols (CTAB SDS based) were compared their ability produce on leaves, gametophyte embryo Pinus ayacahuite, a pine with large (8 - 18 mm). The obtained both procedures was quantified tested by PCR. CTAB protocol provided higher vegetative tissue than method. Embryos (2n) gametophytes (n)...
The diversity of lignicolous agaric fungi is poorly known in Mexico. This group responsible for the primary decomposition wood, providing mineral elements that allow nutrient cycles. objective this work was to reveal and confirm some species present Mexico with both morphological molecular data. Thirteen eight genera, belonging six families agaricoid Agaricales were recorded, discussed, illustrated, which 11 are new records Considering our results, we a Nearctic Neotropical convergence zone...
Based on cpDNA data, we provide the phylogenetic position for 18 species of Neotropical grammitid ferns (Polypodiaceae) that were not previously included in a molecular phylogeny. These resolved Alansmia, Ceradenia, Enterosora, Grammitis, Lellingeria, Lomaphlebia, Melpomene, Moranopteris, Stenogrammitis, and Terpsichore. Our results indicate Enterosora is polyphyletic need generic recircumscription. We maintain identity based E. campbellii subsp. spongiosa, variety type species. This finding...
The genus Pseudoboletus includes parasitic fungi and is well known in temperate zones. In this paper, we present the first Mexican collections of genus. Two specimens were collected a field expedition tropical montane cloud forest on San Martín Tuxtla volcano, Veracruz, Mexico, resulting new species Pseudoboletus, which grows fruiting bodies Scleroderma nitidum. Descriptions, illustrations, photographs P. silvaticus sp. nov. are provided. Also, its phylogenetic position Boletineae tree was...
