Fungal literature records database of the sub-Antarctic Region of Aysén, Chile [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2021 To this day, merely 8% of all estimated fungi species are documented and, in certain regions, its biodiversity is practically unknown. Inside the Fungi Kingdom, macrofungi and lichens assume a critical part in the ecosystem functionality and have a ...

Low genetic diversity in Antarctic populations of the lichen-forming ascomycete Cetraria aculeata and its photobiont [PDF]
Polar Research, 2012 Lichens, symbiotic associations of fungi (mycobionts) and green algae or cyanobacteria (photobionts), are poikilohydric organisms that are particularly well adapted to withstand adverse environmental conditions.

Diversity of Lecidea (Lecideaceae, Ascomycota) species revealed by molecular data and morphological characters [PDF]
, 2010 The diversity of lichens, especially crustose species, in continental Antarctica is still poorly known. To overcome difficulties with the morphology based species delimitations in these groups, we employed molecular data (nuclear ITS and mitochondrial ...

Phylogeny of rock-inhabiting fungi related to Dothideomycetes [PDF]
, 2009 The class Dothideomycetes (along with Eurotiomycetes) includes numerous rock-inhabiting fungi (RIF), a group of ascomycetes that tolerates surprisingly well harsh conditions prevailing on rock surfaces. Despite their convergent morphology and physiology,

Molecular Detection of Histoplasma capsulatum in Antarctica
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022 We detected Histoplasma capsulatum in soil and penguin excreta in the Antarctic Peninsula by sequencing after performing species-specific PCR, confirming previous observations that this pathogen occurs more broadly than suspected.
