TL;DR: An overview of current knowledge of the major clades of all parmelioid lichens is given and 27 genera within nine main clades are accepted, including 31 of 33 currently accepted parMelioid genera (and 63 of 84 accepted genera of Parmeliaceae).
Journal ArticleDOI
A molecular phylogeny and a new classification of parmelioid lichens containing Xanthoparmelia-type lichenan (Ascomycota: Lecanorales)
TL;DR: The results indicate that the lichens containing Xanthoparmelia-type lichenan form a monophyletic group, however, the segregates proposed earlier do not form distinct clades within the group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testing morphology-based hypotheses of phylogenetic relationships in Parmeliaceae (Ascomycota) using three ribosomal markers and the nuclear RPB1 gene.
Ana Crespo,H. Thorsten Lumbsch,Jan-Eric Mattsson,Oscar Blanco,Pradeep K. Divakar,Kristina Articus,Elisabeth Wiklund,Paulina A. Bawingan,Mats Wedin +8 more
TL;DR: Testing morphology-based groupings using DNA sequence data from 120 taxa that include 59 genera and represent the morphological and chemical diversity in Parmeliaceae supports morphological characters as important for the identification of monophyletic clades within the family.
Journal ArticleDOI
Melanelixia and Melanohalea , two new genera segregated from Melanelia ( Parmeliaceae ) based on molecular and morphological data
Oscar Blanco,Ana Crespo,Pradeep K. Divakar,Theodore L. Esslinger,David L. Hawksworth,H. Thorsten Lumbsch +5 more
TL;DR: The phylogeny was studied using a Bayesian analysis of a combined data set of nuclear ITS, LSU rDNA and mitochondrial SSU rDNA sequences to provide a basis for a revised generic concept of the brown parmelioid lichens hitherto classified in Melanelia.
Journal ArticleDOI
The potential of mitochondrial DNA for establishing phylogeny and stabilising generic concepts in the parmelioid lichens
TL;DR: Studies of 31 new sequences of species belonging to 30 genera in the Parmeliaceae family demonstrate that the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) SSU region has the potential to play a major role in establishing the phylogeny and stabilising generic concepts in some of the world's most conspicuous lichens.
