27,28,29,30, the role of hybridization on the process of speciation of fungal lineages with different life histories and ecological functions is not well understood, including among lichen-forming fungi. The role of gene flow and hybridization in lichen-forming fungal evolution has been a long-s...
Nearly one-fourth of the lichen-forming fungi associate with trentepohlialean algae, yet their genetic diversity remains unknown. Recent work focusing on free-living trentepohlialean algae has provided a phylogenetic context within which questions regarding the lichenization of these algae can be asked...
Studies have demonstrated broad, intercontinental distributions of a number of lichen-forming fungi that reproduce via asexual propagules (see e.g. Divakar et al. 2005; Molina et al. 2011a and b; Leavitt et al. 2013a; Roca-Valiente et al. 2013; Divakar et al. 2016). This study aims ...
Particularly lichens, fungi forming symbioses with photosynthetic partners, have evolved remarkable tolerances for environmental extremes. Despite their ecological importance and ubiquity, little is known about the genetic basis of adaption in lichen populations. Here we studied patterns of genome-wide ...

Accurate species circumscriptions in lichen-forming fungi are important for understanding factors driving diversification and have critical implications for ecological and conservation studies. Species delimitation using multiple independent data sets and analytical methods is essential for rigorously testing spec...
Our results reveal accelerated diversification events in three families of morphologically complex lichen-forming fungi – Cladoniaceae, Parmeliaceae, and Peltigeraceae – which are from the subclass Lecanoromycetidae and mostly composed of macrolichens, those that form three dimensional structures. ...

Lichens synthesize a variety of secondary metabolites that enable them to tolerate abiotic stress factors. Many of these metabolites possess significant potential for pharmaceutical and industrial applications, making their enhanced production a desirable goal. This study aimed to investigate the effects of...
