Evolutionary biology of lichen symbioses
Summary Lichens are the symbiotic outcomes of open, interspecies relationships, central to which are a fungus and a phototroph, typically an alga and/or cyanobacterium. The evolutionary processes that led to the global success of lichens are poorly understood.

Abstract We propose that a qualitative trait approach based on more detailed nuanced traits may reveal previously overlooked patterns, especially when combined with phylogenetic perspectives. By sampling epiphytic lichens and using a functional approach based on nuanced qualitative traits, such as a much greater resolution over photobiont identity ...

Alectorioid Morphologies in Paleogene Lichens: New Evidence and Re-Evaluation of the Fossil Alectoria succini Mägdefrau. [PDF]
One of the most important issues in molecular dating studies concerns the incorporation of reliable fossil taxa into the phylogenies reconstructed from DNA sequence variation in extant taxa.

IsRhizoplaca(Lecanorales, lichenized Ascomycota) a monophyletic genus? [PDF]
Rhizoplaca Zopf is a genus characterized by an umbilicate thallus with an upper and a lower cortex, as well as a cupulate hypothecium. It has been considered to be related to Lecanora Ach., the type genus of the Lecanoraceae and, in particular, to the lobate species of this genus.

Fungal community dynamics across a forest–alpine ecotone
Abstract Climate change is causing upward shift of forest lines worldwide, with consequences for soil biota and carbon (C) sequestration. We here analyse compositional changes in the soil biota across the forest line ecotone, an important transition zone between different ecosystems.

Lepraria juanfernandezii , a new lichen species from the Southern Hemisphere
Lepraria juanfernandezii is described as a new species. It differs from all other species of Lepraria by its aggregate thallus with sparse prothallus hyphae, the absence of a hypothallus, the presence of divaricatic acid and the absence of zeorin, and

We assessed soil fungal community composition and its links to soil carbon storage in two contrasting long‐term reindeer grazing regimes in the subarctic treeline ecotone. Root‐associated basidiomycetes and free‐living moulds and yeasts were characteristic to the regime with only wintertime grazing, whereas few taxa of root‐associated ascomycota ...

Gomphillus caribaeus Belongs in the New Genus Bryogomphus (Lecanorales: Pilocarpaceae) [PDF]
A revision of the lichen genus Gomphillus Nyl. in the Americas reveals that G. caribaeus W. R. Buck does not belong in that genus, but is a member of the Pilocarpaceae in the Lecanorales. Because of its distinctive features, the species cannot be accommodated in any of the known genera of that family, and the new genus Bryogomphus Lucking, W. R.
