Distinct Microbial Communities in Adjacent Rock and Soil Substrates on a High Arctic Polar Desert
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Understanding microbial niche variability in polar regions can provide insights into the adaptive diversification of microbial lineages in extreme environments. Compositions of microbial communities in Arctic soils are well documented but a comprehensive

Global Biodiversity Patterns of the Photobionts Associated with the Genus Cladonia (Lecanorales, Ascomycota) [PDF]
Microbial Ecology, 2020 AbstractThe diversity of lichen photobionts is not fully known. We studied here the diversity of the photobionts associated withCladonia, a sub-cosmopolitan genus ecologically important, whose photobionts belong to the green algae genusAsterochloris. The genetic diversity ofAsterochloriswas screened by using the ITS rDNA and actin type I regions in 223

Exploring Costa Rica's fungal trends: Insights from digitized specimens
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1256-1274, July 2026.Fungi are essential to tropical ecosystems but remain largely absent from conservation agendas. By analyzing over 78,000 fungal records from Costa Rica—a globally recognized biodiversity hotspot—this study reveals key patterns in fungal diversity, distribution, and seasonality.

Using phylogenetic and coalescent methods to understand the species diversity in the Cladia aggregata complex (Ascomycota, Lecanorales). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The Cladia aggregata complex is one of the phenotypically most variable groups in lichenized fungi, making species determination difficult and resulting in different classifications accepting between one to eight species.

Field test of assumptions for using line transect distance sampling on rock ptarmigan
Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 4, July 2026.Reliable population estimates are essential for the management of harvested species. Line transect distance sampling using pointing dogs is an established survey method for willow ptarmigan and has also been proposed for the monitoring of rock ptarmigan.

Coalescent-based species delimitation approach uncovers high cryptic diversity in the cosmopolitan lichen-forming fungal genus Protoparmelia (Lecanorales, Ascomycota). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Species recognition in lichen-forming fungi has been a challenge because of unsettled species concepts, few taxonomically relevant traits, and limitations of traditionally used morphological and chemical characters for identifying closely related species.

Phylogenetic placement of Lepraria cryptovouauxii sp. nov. (Lecanorales, Lecanoromycetes, Ascomycota) with notes on other Lepraria species from South America [PDF]
MycoKeys, 2019 Lepraria cryptovouauxii is described as a new semicryptic species similar to L. vouauxii, from which it differs geographically (South America) and phylogenetically; both species differ in nucleotide position characters in nucITS barcoding marker ...
