Basidiomycete yeasts in the cortex of ascomycete macrolichens
TLDR
Many common lichens are composed of the known ascomycete, the photosynthesizing partner, and, unexpectedly, specific basidiomycete yeasts, and their abundance correlates with previously unexplained variations in phenotype.

Lichens and lichenicolous fungi of the Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park, Alaska, in a global biodiversity context
TLDR
In the first survey of its kind from the region, 766 taxa of lichens and lichenicolous fungi from the Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park are reported, providing an overview of the lichen inventories with highest species number worldwide and discussing theklondike in the context of broader patterns in lichen richness.

Molecular systematics of the wood-inhabiting, lichen-forming genus Xylographa (Baeomycetales, Ostropomycetidae) with eight new species.
TLDR
A morphological and secondary metabolite-based assessment of material from North and South America, Europe and Asia generated a three-locus phylogeny based on sequences of the internal transcribed spacer, 28S nuclear rDNA and mitochondrial small subunit rDNA that recognizes twenty species in Xylographa and provides a thorough revision of nomenclature.

Lichens on dead wood: species‐substrate relationships in the epiphytic lichen floras of the Pacific Northwest and Fennoscandia
TLDR
Substrate use by epiphytic lichens in the combined floras of Fennoscandia and the Pacific Northwest of North America is reviewed based on literature and herbarium data and substrate affinity relative to life form, reproductive mode and major phylogenetic group within the floras is analyzed.

Convergent evolution of a symbiotic duet: the case of the lichen genus Polychidium (Peltigerales, Ascomycota).
TLDR
The independent development of similar dendroid thallus architecture in different fungal suborders with different photobionts represents a clear and previously overlooked example of convergent evolution in lichens.

Gyalectoid Pertusaria species form a sister-clade to Coccotrema (Ostropomycetidae, Ascomycota) and comprise the new lichen genus Gyalectaria
TLDR
The phylogeny and taxonomic placement of three species currently placed in the genus Pertusaria with gyalectoid ascomata were studied using maximum likelihood and Bayesian analysis of four molecular loci and a new genus Gyalectaria Schmitt, Kalb & Lumbsch is described in Coccotremataceae to accommodate these species.

One hundred new species of lichenized fungi : a signature of undiscovered global diversity
TLDR
A total of 100 new species of lichenized fungi are described, representing a wide taxonomic and geographic range, and emphasizing the dire need for taxonomic expertise in lichenology.

Phylogenetic generic classification of parmelioid lichens (Parmeliaceae,Ascomycota) based on molecular, morphological and chemical evidence.
TLDR
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).

Diagnostics for a troubled backbone: testing topological hypotheses of trapelioid lichenized fungi in a large-scale phylogeny of Ostropomycetidae (Lecanoromycetes)
TLDR
A series of a priori and new evolutionary hypotheses regarding the relationships of trapelioid clades within Ostropomycetidae are tested, finding strong support for a monophyletic group of nine core trapelIOid genera but no statistical support to reject the long-standing hypothesis that trapelian genera are sister to BaeomyCetaceae or Hymeneliaceae.
